Built Ford Tough Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 He's tha key steal of the draft, should be better then Wesley Johnson. I wouldn't really call him a steal. It is sounding more and more likely that he is going to be taken in the top 10. He has absolutely skyrocketed up the rankings since the end of the season. If he were to have stayed where originally thought, which was the 16-24 range, then yeah I could definitely see him being a steal, but considering he could easily go top 10, or maybe even higher, I don't see him as a steal. I was high on him ever since first reading about him, but I didn't think he would impress as much as he has during workouts and certainly didn't think he could wind up being a top 10 pick.

AboveLegit Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I thought he would be a midlevel first rounder, but he has really improved his stock. He has a smooth offensive game, his jumpshot is great, and is a freak athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 A couple things I've noticed through some research, and seeing him in the WAC a little bit this year. He shot under 70% free throws his freshman year, but 91% last year. Shows he can focus on something in the offseason and improve a ton. Also shows how pure his shot is, it looks a little weird but he repeats it so well that he's a lights out shooter. He's kind of a turnover machine, but FS had to feed him constantly so a lot of the time the ball was in his hands, and he had to create for others a little bit too. So I doubt he'll still be at the 3 TOPG range, but he needs to cut those down. He said he sees himself as a SG... sorry bud but at 6'9", you're probably going to be a SF. He might swing both positions but either way, he's a stud and wherever he's taken he's gonna be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 He's projected to go top 15 so I wouldn't really call him much of a steal. But yeah, dude's a beast and definitely a freak of an athlete. He definitely relies on his athleticism for a lot of his offense and his defense is criticized as being lazy, but as long as he stays in top shape he's going to be a nightmare on the offensive end.

Flight Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I know it's been said and I'm no novel thinker for saying this, but with his length and quickness he can definitely be an Ariza type defender if he puts in the time with a good defensive coach.

Flash Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I could see LA taking him in the lottery. This guy is rocketing up the board. At first I thought Miami may have a shot but his hype machine is getting crazy so we're not even an option at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I'd love to see the Hornets take him at 12 and have a stud SF to fill out the lineup nicely. PaulThorntonGeorgeWestOkafor with a bench of CollisonPeterson/PoseyStojakavic/WrightDiogu/SongailaMarks/Gray Solid starting lineup and bench backcourt/wings.

He would be an even more fierce offensive threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to stop speculating haha, Hornets always draft someone I really don't want, but last year both guys turned out pretty good haha.

Dash Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Beast. I wouldn't mind the Rockets taking him at #14 if he's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
