He lacks a natural position in the NBA and struggles to score against elite players but then again I could see him being a major scorer in the right situation. He has a big range between bust and starter and someone will take a chance on him, to answer the question.

I can tell just from looking at him that Allen plays the right way and is a real scrappy defender plus a total gym rat, does anybody know anything else about him? Is there anything significant in the Tatum Jayson/Allen Grayson rhyming Duke connection? Who can say where the road goes, where the day flows, only time?

Name tools seem a little lacking this year, or maybe I am just getting desensitized. I also like how being a tweener forward is now a plus. You blossomed too early, Derrick Williams.

Name tools guys are nowhere near the lottery, but there are some significant dudes we've had on the radar for a while in DJ Hogg, Matur Maker and Omer Yurtseven Some lesser guys who might sneak into the second round: Lagerald Vick Isaac Bonga Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Jaylen Hands Quinndary Weatherspoon and some kid named Alize like the liquor

He's a bit of a jack of all trades, he can shoot on the catch and off the dribble, he can get to the rim and convert well against college players, he has a decent handle and he passes from time to time. He's small and slow for his position. His success in the NBA will rest on his situation and how he adjusts to NBA length and speed, which as you noted he's somewhat struggled to do in college, but that's a normal caveat for a late first round pick with his pedigree. I don't love or hate him, but guys with his profile have become decent NBA players before, and they've also busted. I'd rather have someone else, but I wouldn't begrudge choosing him late enough.

JesusSinfulHands posted:Well Tjarks just put up a piece on the Ringer that goes into the argument why a center whos not getting blocks at the college level is so troubling. I want to apologize for being so dismissive. To put my thoughts in fairer terms, the fact that he freelances and just fucks off on defense is not good in any way, that he plays bad interior defense is bad. But he can match up with almost anyone laterally and backpedalling from the perimeter, which is an incredible thing for a 6'10 guy. The hope is that he'll learn how to play defense and improve his jumper on offense.

Ayton is gonna be great offensively, has the tools on defense, moves well, but functionally isn't playing very well on defense right now. I was watching this video again and his 1 on 1 defense seemed really solid, but jeez anytime his man was involved in a screen he completely lost track of the play and UNLV got a wide open shot. I guess it comes down to how much you think those struggles come down to defensive effort, awareness, instincts etc and how much they can be improved.

Are there any guys in this draft who stink of "WHY DID THIS GUY FALL?". Seems like every draft has them.

What's the story on Trae Young? It seems like he'd probably have the same questions coming in as Prospect Curry, but other than his shot selection and maybe his size it looks like he's a better prospect at this point in time than Curry was My main concern is that a shooter named "Trae" is too on-the-nose to pan out at the NBA level

Trae Young's extra long threes break defenses like Curry's did. He's small, but he looks more talented than everyone else almost all the time. He's shooting about 3% less than Curry at the same age and maybe a slightly higher level of competition. College teams are better at guarding the line than they were in 2012, when they often wouldn't, and many teams try but simply cannot, but they try. Probably has similar questions to other players like him, will he look as good against NBA length/athleticism, how will he function as part of a team and not as an incredibly ball dominant man with a whole offense revolving around him, will he be able to finish, will he continue to grow his hair, etc I enjoy watching him, he looks like our just retired friend Matt Barnes, with large sections of arm and torso removed, making the timing of all this curious. If Matt Barnes has somehow shrunken his body while using the disused tissue as a potion to make his new self more vigorous and ball dominant, that would be interesting.

Cross-posting but Curry played shooting guard his first couple years and averaged like 3 something assists. Trae Young is leading the country in assists at 10 something. He's a freshman in a major conference and effortlessly destroying all competition. I'm interested to see what happens come conference play.

I watched a lot of Trae Young tape because his passes are absolutely filthy. He throws the ball like he's Favre. He's also got that knack for driving to the rim that'll help once he puts on muscle and can finish through contact.

Trae is getting easy fast break assists and taking 24 and 25-footers while having people act like they are from half court. At best he will win 2 MVPs in his career

I'm going to start building my "games to watch" schedule soon. I pretty much just go for the most efficient path to watching the most players in the fewest games possible, but if anyone can think of some games that might be good for other reasons, let me know.

What do you guys think RJ Barrett will end up doing? I know y'all hate Duke but it feels like Canada is sending more and more people to the NBA.
