He's two months older than Jaden McDaniels

I don't care much about his age if he can play.

I didn’t realize just how athletic TSJ is, he just glides on the court. Last time I saw that in a player was when I was watching clips of Ant back before the 2020 draft. He’s not quite the same athlete as Ant but he’s pretty close. Also I love is that he is a great free throw shooter.

We might have gotten a major steal here. TSJ's stock plummeted due to false allegations, most analysts didn't even really wanna cover him as a prospect and only did so because of his obvious talent. Then dude takes the stand (which is a boss move btw) and shuts the nonsense down just days before the draft. By that time everyone had their slot and his name was suitably dragged through the mud.

There's no telling where he would have gone had the case not interrupted everything but my guess is he would have been an easy lottery pick. Especially in a draft like this one.

Dude needs to work on his playmaking a bit, get better with his right hand and his outside shot, but other than this is a well developed prospect with NBA talent, athleticism, and skill who can play both sides of the floor with gravity.

Hell of a pickup by TC.

It will be interesting to see the backup 2 guard competition....NAW, Clark, Shannon, Moore Jr.

Shannon wasn't my ideal pick, but no denying his talent, and I trust Connelly. Wish he was bigger if the plan is playing the 3, but he could be a NAW replacement plan for next year.

I assume it's NAW first then Shannon, with Clark being a wild card and Moore just being a guy who is finishing out his contract.

Let's be real, the underlined player shouldn't even be in consideration.

I hope ALL of them have a great SL, so we can trade Moore for future second round pick

I agree on Moore, But as long as he's on the roster he gets a place on the depth chart.

Moore is somewhat handy in that he knows our schemes and can play some D.

He’s insurance, essentially.

Would I like to get rid of his money? Yes!

If Djurisic (or Bona) turn out good, I will hate Moore forever.

Reminds me a bit of a mix between Terrance Ross and Miles Bridges.

Justin Edwards was the guy who reminded me most of Bazz.

Watching highlights and you know who's gonna love Terrence? Naz Reid. TSJ looks like a long lost Jelly Fam member that got discovered in the wild with the way he finishes.

I was pimping for Shannon leading up to the Draft. If it wasn't for the legal issues that he was exonerated of, I have no doubt he goes in the Top 12.

He plays defense, has good range, good handles, gets to the rim, draws fouls and most importantly, makes his free throws. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't get 15mpg this season.

Oh yeah...we got Dillingham for an 11-year old to be named later. I'm simply not used to having a competent, aggressive GM. So refreshing!

They say lightning doesn’t strike the same spot twice. Well, Culver and Moore both had below average rookie seasons with a hint of hope they might be backups, and then they fell off a ****** cliff in year 2. We got struck twice in 5 years.

Looking at his highlights (w/out having watched actual games), I'd say nothing like Shabazz outside of his aggressiveness. Appears to be a better defender and not completely a one-trick pony. Looks like he may be able to handle in the long-term, some playmaking ability and looks decent as a catch and shoot guy as well.

Wolves def got a couple of thirsty scorers in the draft. I also wouldn't let the pick (27) fool ppl. A lot of what I've heard is that he would've been in the lottery for sure if not for the legal issue.

Another interesting physical comp I saw somewhere was Aaron Nesmith, but the skill sets don't line up.
