Watch on YouTube

I saw one high school three in this entire highlight real.

In reality he doesn't seem to even be a 70% free throw shooter yet.

I was half asleep while watching, but seemed like he had a lot of dunks and scoring for one game. Do you have his stat line?

17 pts & 11 reb, 60% fg & 50% 3pt in AAU

I think I saw him make 30 shots in that montage so I guess they were repeating the same stuff. Nice box score.

That wasn't from one game it was from the entire summer

I'm confused I thought it was the McDonald's All star game highlights. This is a copy and paste from the heading.
McDonald's All American Game: Isaiah Stewart

More confused. Was that 17-11 for the All American game or his average for the AAU season?

That 50% 3 point shooting was on 4 attempts.

He was talking about the whole AAU summer. Are you talking about the McDonalds game?

https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Isaiah-Stewart-II/Summary/117418

Here are the stats he is using. The AAU summer stats he is referencing is 10 games. 4 3 point attempts total over those 10 games this summer. He made 50% of those 4 attempts. The sample size is tiny. This isn't even an average of a single attempt over two games.

Thank you very much. We can't deduce how good of a 3 point shooter he is from only 4 attempts, but we can deduce that he is unlikely to shoot many based on that.
Edit: In a roundabout way we can deduce that he isn't skilled at 3 point shooting because of his very limited attempts. If he was good we would expect him to shoot more of them. Also he will have time to work on that and perhaps become better before a potential entry to the NBA.

So much depends on how they use Culver, the year Wiggins has, and how much reshaping Rosas has to do.

I don't really see us turning Culver into a Harden/Russell as a PG. He'll play that role in spots, but I believe the plan will be to find a successor to Teague by next summer.

He can take defenders off the dribble, but when guarded by top man defenders in the tourney (brandon clarke of gonzaga and deandre hunter of va) he really struggled. Pairing him with another ball handler, who also has a decent off ball game, would make sense.

That is correct, he is more finesse player than athletic. However in NBA he will have more room to operate, more spacing and better partners.

How about finesse and athletic instead of either or? :wink:

Early on this is looking like a pretty strong draft.

It’s a great draft class to grab a PG. there are 7-8 legitimate PG prospects that could be in the top 12

I really don't like the ideal of Culver as PG. Didn't seem to work too well with LaVine if I recall.
Plus will he be able to not turn it over when a good PG puts pressure on him?

But back to the OP, I think it's too early to be window shopping for draft picks. We should have an ideal what position we are drafting after the AS break. I have a feeling we should be looking in the 10-14 range. Just miss the PO's but not bad enough to tank.

I prefer to not think about it just yet.
