Fultz and Ball shoot 67% from the line compared to DSJ's 73%. Not that big of a difference to say Dennis projects to be a better shooter imo. Being 6'2 with trex arms will give him some problems imo. Fultz shoots 51% from 2s and and 41% from 3s on more shot attempts. Fultz has really good form on his jumper and can get it off virtually everytime. Also Fultz has an amazing work ethic which should carry him throughout his nba career.

What are you talking about? When has wingspan ever affected shooting ability?

i was looking more at the fact that he's gonna be guarded by quicker, longer athletes and if he's shooting off the dribble, it could cause some problems trying to shoot over longer defenders. Some, being the keyword.

But when has that ever shown to be a problem? Dude will be one of the most explosive PGs once he enters the league which means your point makes even less sense

Since you've watched, name the 8 pros right now. A team that can't even function without Smith on the court somehow has 8 pros, go ahead so I can expose you

Are you serious right now? Collectively, your NBA prospects other than Smith average like 4-5 points. That's what counts as an NBA prospect now? :lol: then you had the nerve to include Euro prospects, that means they suck :lol: that was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in realgm

WRONG

Yurtseven has been a massive bust. He'll be a second rounder if he is lucky.

LMAO Kirk? Kirk would be lucky to play in a high tier European league. 175 RSCI ranked 3 star playing 4 minutes a game.

Kapita and Johnson? Have you even seen a NC State basketball game.

Let me tell you the real answer. DSJ is a top 10 pick, Yurtseven is a future second rounder, Malik-Abu is a future second rounder.

Picking the 3 freshmen who don't get extended minutes but have pro potential does not dismiss my statement. It makes you look dumb.

Europe means they suck when there are quite a few NCAA teams doing well whose best players are Euro? Ahhh, I see what I'm dealing with :lol:

Please do tell how they have pro potential. 3 star and unranked freshmen usually never make the NBA. If they aren't good enough to play their freshmen year, they are NEVER making it. You are just pulling names out of a hat in order to support that the argument that NC State's roster is stacked with NBA players.

WRONG. You know exactly what I'm talking about. If someone is from America and they're projected to be playing in Europe after the NBA, they aren't that good. Plain and simple, don't act like you don't know this

Kapita and Markelle Johnson were definitely ranked and are known as explosive, long-term prospect by people who actually follow prep and don't just google a name and look at a star rating. Kirk is the same thing too and had a UK late spring offer to boot.

I'm not talking about some random league in Turkey when I say Europe. Guys like Rowan and Abu will play in good leagues and no its not a given for any American. If NC St sucks then 98 percent of the NCAA sucks...making the supposed lack of talent DSJR plays with irrelevant.

All you're doing is making baseless assumptions based on what you think their potential is. Currently, these dudes suck plain and simple and aren't pro prospects.

Thats 98 percent of the NCAA then...throw in DSJR and Omer as players those other teams don't have and it seems your narrative that its the talent level and teammates keeping DSJR from winning seem off, especially when the top 25 is littered with squads who best player is Europe bound.
