oh no, cutewizard found youtube again
its only been 2 games, but Bailey is such an absurd shotmaker
what i havent really seen out of him is the ability to separate or show enough handles to really create, but just with his length and footwork he's able to get shots off from anywhere. he's also a monster athlete
i had similar concerns that brandon miller didnt show enough self-creation and ballhandling but he showed quite a bit of that as a rookie. bailey is a bigger, stronger version of that... just nuts
The lack of separation is a little bit concerning but I think it's just a matter of him settling / knowing that nobody can really contest his shot. The physical tools are all there once he starts going up against NBA level defenders.
He drilled a fadeaway jumper on the baseline last game that looked effortless, can maybe recall a handful of NBA guys making it look that easy in the last few decades.
Top 2 pick easily tbh.
oh yeah. even if he's just a scoring/shooting specialist out the gate, with his athletic profile and defensive upside its a smash pick. he just turned 18 a few months ago. there's a lot of talk about how young Flagg is and how he reclassified, etc. but theyre only about 4 months apart.
Starts at 1:21, McGrady-esque tbh
I fully agree with the le. Malauach is gonna be a great pro.
He’s a traditional non shooting big. How is he going to be a great pro?
Do we need a big backup center I think so but for me I don’t want to waste first round draft capital for a backup. I am cool with using a high second round pick and I would do it next year or the following as it takes a few years for bigs to get there feet under them.
Can anyone explain to me why John Blackwell from Wisconsin doesn't appear in any mock drafts? I haven't seen him anywhere, anyway. I think the kid has developed tremendously, physically and in terms of playing skills, but he seems to have been overlooked since high school. I'm going to say that he will be one of the players who ends up being drafted in the middle of the first round, which means he will be a candidate for the Spurs. Blackwell could be the player that Branham never developed into
Do you have any idea how many GOOD college players will never even sniff the NBA? Think about how many D1 programs there are, 352. Every one of them has a best player, a campus hero. If only D1 players were drafted, 292 of them would not be selected.
Seems like the big question here is how many first round picks to bring in this year. If we have 3 picks in the 10-20 range, I can definitely find players that look worth adding.
Where you seeing Rutgers games? Any place to DL them?
REALLY?? Who would have thought! The internet is great, you can always find someone who will share their insider wisdom with you, even if you didn't ask for it.
YouTube cutups tbh
It’s called a reality check.
See: Lively, Derrick.
Derrick Lively is a hustle guy, a garbage scorer, not a great player. He plays 22 a night, and averages 8.8/6.8.
He's a sop re, he's going to improve. And by "great pro" I meant his game was going to translate well to the pro level, not become a superstar.
That’s just “a pro”.
Zach Collins is “a pro”
Derrick Lively actually makes an impact towards winning basketball. That’s what makes a pro great.
Anyway, I’ll be up close and personal to watch first round prospects McNeely (UConn), Drake Powell (NC) and Ian Jackson (NC). Got both the UConn and NC games tomorrow and then I’ll be courtside for the NC game on Tuesday (assuming they win tomorrow).
Wow. That’s kind of a stretch of the adjective ‘great’. 8.8/6.8 ain’t that, in my book.
There's a difference between being a "great player" and a "great pro". Role players can be, and are, great pros. They fill their role and contribute to winning. Boris Diaw is a career 8.6/4.4/3.5 guy. He averaged 7.4/3.8/2.6 in his time with the Spurs. I'd still call him a great pro.
