What about a dude whose game is somewhere between Mobley and KP doesn't seem NBA transferable?

i guess i mean he doesn't seem like a good nba player to me. too slow and not nearly strong enough. i just don't seem him doing that dribbling in traffic poo poo against bigger and faster defenses.

Tell me about Jalen Duren

He's probably the only guy with a more NBA-ready body than Banchero. He's jacked beyond belief for his age.

Haven't seen enough play yet to say anything more.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I have not seen him yet but if he is slow that's for sure a problem. But we have seen NBA training get guys to have at least one more level of speed to their game even if they're slow.

Paolo Banchero seemingly has a massive brain. Cade was the massive brain guy of 2021, maybe Paolo is 2022's huge brain prospect.

Lebron is probably the smartest NBA player in history so I figure if a guy can run and jump and has a massive brain, get him

he seems extremely talented but i’m always wary of trying to project nba production based off of how a .1% freakish athlete looks against high schoolers (albeit talented high schoolers who are also going to go to top flight colleges)

Tankathon just updated their rankings tonight and have him at #5; he's totally tanked Jaden Hardy's rank down to #15.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know it's mocks and wayyyy too early, but their rankings are aggregate of a bunch of other sites so it's an interesting if imprecise gauge.

The only things that I can find on him are his measurements, some stats, that he's Canadian, and he went from unknown to a #1 prospect in a few months.

Also the ESPN blurb:

ESPN posted:

Sharpe is considered a potential top-five pick in the 2022 NBA draft thanks to his combination of prototypical frame with dynamic shot-making and explosive finishing ability, regularly coming up with highlight-reel-caliber dunks, blocks and putbacks.

damn i'm really in this bitch

for the player it almost always makes more sense to go for the money. as a first round pick (especially a lottery pick) you’ll be raking in millions of dollars with all the focus being put on your development as a pro and there aren’t any (official) nil deals that even come close to that

being a star at a college campus and potentially improving your stock to a surefire #1 potentially does not suck though

I've been digging around and found 2 draft podcasts with stepien dudes, if you liked Prep2Pro, these have basically the same simple format: Two ball head 20something guys talking Prospies

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tag-the-roll/id1593263001
Tag the roll

and

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-stepien-nba-draft-podcast/id1185892602
The stepien NBA draft podcast

Stepien is a bit more polished, but not by a ton

Time to receive some opinions, so that you have to think less when you're Grinding Tha Tape

Also, Jalen Duren is 6'9 rather than 6'11
