Was wondering how closely these two cousins compare. Obviously Shai i has two years in the league, and has already become a key starter for a playoff team. But in terms of their physical make up and skill set, their scouting reports are remarkably similar. On their draft net profiles SGA really only outpointed NAW by a few, and most of that difference came under the headings of "potential" and "leadership", which seem a little squishy. In terms their height and length were very close, they were both termed "combo" guards who can play either the point or at shooting guard. NAW came into the league about 20 pounds heavier (which begs the question just how skinny is SGA?), but both were deemed to have superior jump shots, ball skills, and basketball IQ.
Personally, I think NAW, like SGA, would be better suited to playing as a SG who sometimes handles point duties than as a full time point guard. Obviously, NAW's jumper was balky his rookie year as was his shot selection, but his shot looks good I think it will settle in. Was surprised to see SGA is just league-average from behind the arc. Is he a much better athlete than Nickeil? Scouting reports don't really spell that out.
