Saying he "cant shoot whatsoever" is a really bad and lazy thing to put out there for people who might not have watched him and are looking for real insight
Stroke looks great. Its slow, and he isnt getting the power from his legs so using so much arm is making him inconsistent. This isnt Ben Simmons
@mcnamara247
We only had 1 good perimeter defender in Herb, thank the lord we have another good perimeter defender with amazing size. I love it.
He shot 29% on the season and 45% from the FT line. He had a decent stretch shooting about 34% to close out the year but this is a guy who needs to learn how to shoot. The fact that he's not Ben Simmons who is a historically non-existent shooter doesn't change the fact that right now, he is not a shooter.
Basketball.
I can’t help but feel we made a huge mistake
Second half of his VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE season, he shot 34.7% from 3. "Cant shoot" is Jalen Duren. Not a guy who actually attempts them and misses an inch short a good amount of the time and, if he had made 4 more in the second half of the season, he would have shot 38% over that span
He has weaknesses, but no need to grossly exaggerate them
"Not a shooter" which you now correctly modified it to would be fine. "Cant shoot whatsoever" is unnecessary hyperbole
I wanted an explosive guard who can shoot to be honest.
His shot is there, but it’s just hella hella slow release
I was ok with it until I saw Sochan put on a Spurs hat
They the guy I wanted at that spot the whole time.
Big enough to play 1-3 with the skills to match.
His defense has potential to be really good.
I would try to make a him a Luka-esque PG that doesn?t need to score, plays better defense, but can still get you a triple double.
Maybe he will be Lonzo lol with a little more drive
Ahh I forgot about Jose I’ll give you that, Murphy and Nance are decent perimeter defenders, not good ones. Dyson is a better perimeter defender than both day 1.
I will add Murphy got better as the year went on but he won’t be guarding 1s or 2s, he’s too tall. We need another guy to guard the 1-3 spots.

If anything justifies my scepticism of lottery Dieng, it's the fact that the Knicks are the team that eventually took him
Am I nuts or do I see a taller, less athletic Lonzo? Good outlet passes..like really good. Clearly a plus game thinker. Not a big lay initiator but he’ll connect a play. Wonder how his lob game is.
What I like most about him is in one of his interviews he said he told his momma that she gotta give him healthy food so he can make it to the league. Night and day.
