he’ll be much better than danny green. great frame.
Ceiling is higher than Danny since he is already WAY more fluid offensively than Danny has ever been.
Saying Vassel celing is Danny Green is saying Vassel will struggle to dribble a basketball his entire nba career...

tbh with enough pundits out there, almost every first round pick will be in somebody's top 10.
Release looks a little slow compared to Bey's.
Not a bad defensive lineup they could trot out with:
PG: White
SG: Murray
SF: Vassell
PF: Johnson
C: Aldridge
Not a bad mix offensively either especially with LMA extending the floor and Murray developing his midrange.
Yay, another guard/small wing to compete for minutes with the two most promising prospects on this team...
He's a solid ready to go player but also with upside -- a nice combination.
He isn't Wiseman, Okongwu or Avdija but short of that, not bad.
He'll look good a couple years from now.
id go for this lineup unfortunately I see lyles starting
Which would make sense, Johnson isn't a 4, he's barely a 3.
Congrats to FkLA and BatManu20 for calling their shot. (As I recall, BatManu also doubled down on it in the Draft Thread.)
Not sure if already posted but here's Devin in the Player's Tribune. Scary thing is, kid has Neph like motivation. Good for Spurs but maybe also bad? On the positive if he ever forces his way out, maybe it won't be to go to LA.

Bruh, I've been reading about other prospects and everyone has "Neph like motivation". I want to see it before I believe it.
Have you read the piece? Dude has that belief and motivation in himself like we later learned about #2.
By the way, Neph. Give me Vassell and his ability to speak and motivate those around him all day long.
Yes, I read it. I'm with you on " Neph" but when it comes to this, I'm telling you. Every prospect has belief and motivation in himself or so they say. Literally you can find an article like this on almost every prospect.
He has more in common with Danny than you want to admit.
- In live-dribble situations, Devin generates many of his advantages through consistent effort rather than through skill and craft. Has a relatively uninspiring offensive repertoire with the live dribble: heavily relies on sheer height of his release, and is often forced to revert to the left shoulder spin into a hand-transfer dribble which tends to effectively end the sequence
- Has not shown evidence of a face-up or back-to-the-basket game in the post
- Gets blocked on a high number of attempts of his slashes. This is in part by virtue of his lack of mass, and in part due to Vassell’s propensity to “sky and adjust” rather than play through contact in the lane. There are also strong indicators that Vassell is reliant on a two-footed leap to get proper vertical explosion
- Unspectacular dribbler for his size/archetype. Somewhat limited shake–hang dribble and spin-move are about the most you will see, with virtually no multi-move sequences. Left is noticeably weaker than his right: in extended dribbling sequences, we can see the dribble height creep towards his chest line with the ensuing pass being prone to losing accuracy. Generates a decent percentage of his turnovers due to handling errors alone
- May be limited in tight C&S scenarios/floppy-type actions. Isn’t the most agile at rounding corners (see below). Likes to insert an extra dribble coming off the screen to allow himself to get both feet set under him, which shortens his window and allows for less flexibility
- Has not demonstrated the ability to get the line reliably
Wondering how many minutes he gets given his frame is probably just not sufficient to bang yet, with NBA players nightly. And if he's still growing as GM Brian Wright Hopes, he's not going to add much muscle anytime soon.
I think he will get the Keldon treatment I don’t see him getting very much minutes in the first half of season and well a lot depends on G League is going to happen. You know I think he is a little bit like Green but I think he will be a better version ex specially on the offense side as someone stated as long as he can dribble he will be better and I agree with that.
Does anyone think that if Danny green were drafted my San Antonio, in the first round, he'd be a more rounded player? He lost a few years with LeBron and the g league, and got mixed with veteran hall of fame ball handlers in the current team would be better or worse than in his prime. Mainly on offense. You can't really replicate wingstop
It looks like he will be a little better than Danny Green but it’s not because of frame because Danny had the perfect frame for a wing defender. Vassell is a twig for a SF for now.
Well he is 20 years old and Danny isn't. So lets let him get 2 years of work in the weight room of a professional nba team before we start worrying about how big he will or won't be.
Dejounte and White barely have added to their frame after two years and Devin has a similar frame. I don't see him becoming much bigger than he is now.
This guy can never be like Kawhi on defense because he doesn't have his physical tools. I'm hoping this guy can be a cross somewhere between Danny Green,Tony Allen,Bruce Bowen.
My favorite point guard...
Another spurstalk classic
