LeVert and Stauskas are the best wing duo in the nation.

Here's an excellent break down of GR3's game, since there seems to be a lot of platitudes and underselling of his game http://www.umhoops.com/2014/03/04/a-clo ... re-season/

Basically needs to add consistency to his 3 point range and *try* to improve as an iso scorer. Very similar development to Oladipo when at Indiana, undersized PFs out of HS who transitioned to the perimeter slowly...


Here is one for Caris LeVert http://www.umhoops.com/2014/02/25/close ... is-levert/

Just needs more strength and a pull-up game. DX is really underselling him... Scoring style is aesthetically reminiscent of Durant/Ginobili/Jamal Crawford (less ballhandling) with an overall floor game that reminds me of Lance Stephenson (without the strength).

Averaging 16 ppg 6 rpg 3 apg on 48 % FG 47 % 3 pt FG in his last 13 games

LeVert reminds me a little too much of Gabe Pruitt. Not enough strength or explosiveness to get the most out of his skills.

I think those are legitimate concerns but keep in mind that LeVert has 3-4 inches of height and a probably a larger wingspan.

The biggest question is how his body feels out and is he done growing? He's 19 right now so it's kind of hard to tell. Seems like he didn't wasn't quite comfortable in his body earlier this year but has gotten more deliberate in his movement.

He's also more productive/ efficient than Gabe during any year he had at USC.

levert's not an explosive leaper and strength might always be an issue with him given his frame, but he's plenty quick (laterally too) and fast. combine that with his length and he's very rangy for a 2.

Glenn Robinson III has been playing like a lottery pick lately.

Stauskas, Robinson, McGary, LeVert, and Irvin will all be pros for sure.
