If I remember correctly it 2 off hand finishes in AAU and Arizona over the last two seasons. He also only finished at the rim at a 38% rate in the half court at Arizona. Yikes!!Originally Posted by Pelicanidae

Ive thought this for a while now. He's more fluid and athletic than really..... any of his peers.... that is wings to be had after like the 10th pick.
His freshman numbers are rather similar to Bradley Beal and Victor Oldajipo's freshman numbers.
in fact, they're competitive to Vassell's numbers, ecspecially as a frosh.
but it's not really his production that does it for me; it's in watching him do it. He will be a legit starter somewhere.... book it
but in many ways he bothers me,
like having no left and not being a creator
his low percentages wont be a problem though

Did you watch just his highlight tape? Lol
Ready for the draft lottery so trades can start happening.

Another guy I was surprised with when I watched him, Leandro Bolmaro. But not in a good way.
When you watch his highlights you would think he’s an early pick, but when you really dive into him you see why he isn’t even a sure 1st rounder.
He’d probably be a stash candidate.
Just wanna note that Duke apparently has AJ Griffin and Paolo Banchero, which isn't for this draft, but damn that's gonna be fun. Both super high level prospects.

Good news is we'll know very quickly if we're in the top 4 or not. Either they announce our name 1st or 2nd in the listing. There's a comfort in that. And there won't be any pause.
Here we go.
13
Jrue Holiday and Lonzo for Markkanen and Chicago's # 1.
Warriors are looking to trade lol.
Warriors tank failed
Why? If they give you #2 for Jrue, you gonna say no?
Not just no. Hell no. Jrue doesn't fit with GSW, anyways.
Yes, I am saying no to that lol
Jrue ain’t never going to have that kind of value again from a contender. It’s crazy to hold on to him with that opportunity to unload him for value.
No. 13 is really no-man’s land for a team like the #Pelicans, already in a tough position to find space for developmental players.

But the landscape is set and now the FO really needs to go into the Saints’ toolbox: ID “the guy” and find a way to go get him if you have to. pic.twitter.com/1BMCxy4trf
I'm fine with 13 tbh
The #2 pick in this draft is not value. It's a loss on Jrue.
To you maybe but there is value there for a team who wants LeMelo like the Knicks.
But this draft sucks is the thing. Literally no reason to trade up unless it's Pok.
@Pelicanidae
Any point guard that can drive, shoot free throws well, has a consistent mid range jumper and good handles? (and may be there at 13?)
The Nets trade seems way better. And it's still probably helps Nets more than us
We don't have a fancy forum where we can tag people makes me sad.
Grant Riller lol
Older player, he'll be 23, but he's the guy outside of the top 5 that I think is mostly likely to hit NBA primary initiator upside as a guard. 80+% FT shooter last two years, solid passer (though not incredible or anything), mediocre 3pt shooting numbers but that's mostly cause he takes stepbacks, pullups, off-movement, off-screen shots against any defense: will be a good shooter at the NBA level, and a legit pullup threat imo. 40% career shooter on C&S too over the 4 years in college.
Kind of a mediocre defender: okay as a team guy but loses focus easily and is too small at 6'3 (not lengthy) to really guard up much, he's a 2 position defender only at the 1v1 aspect.
Legitimately the best driver and finisher at the rim in this class: he's 6'3 and shot the same percentage at the basket as Obi Toppin, and less than 25% of those shots were assisted. Ridiculous ability to create for himself and finish.
