My thoughts on your off the top board because we need to get this thread going.
- Not a fan of Bol.
- Cam's energy levels float sooo much and that jumper is maddingly inconsistent and in need of form tweaks.
- RJ needs to be more diverse on offense, because right now he's a power guard. Not a fan of his vision.
- Nas is an animal. I want to see him work more on offense, but the skill is there for sure on both ends.
- Romeo is the best offensive player of the wings, but he needs to work on left hand a bit + keep working on jumper. Defense is there, too.
- Sekou (I watched a few hours of him today) needs a lot of work on his jumper and finishing ability in the paint.
- Zion needs a right hand and a jumper, but I'm buying his jumper - when it's gone in, it's looked good. I've got some nice iso clips I'm going to put out there. Also need to see his defense in a team concept.
- Rui, I like.
- Gafford, no real thoughts.
Pretty good initial analysis. I want to see more of all of them before I go in-depth.
But I will say Romeo Langford is my top so far. For personal tastes as well as for fit with the Knicks youth movement.
Just went over Romeo's transition from 15-16, 16-17, 17-18 in AAU with Frankie on the phone like an hour ago. Went from basically a big to a wing to a pure SG as he grew. He just makes everything look effortless. I think he'd slot in perfectly at the 2.
De'Andre Hunter and Luka Samanic are two other guys to add to a list of guys you should watch. Also Garland because he's the top PG in the country (?) and is going to Vanderbilt.
