Where do you find his stats? I only see the 298 against 17 year old short kids. It's going to be a whole different animal shooting against tall players with athletic ability.

I can't find the first season stats either outside of Ausar shooting 22% from 3. He took a big jump in his shot form and percentages. 22% to 33.3% shows huge improvement.

Amen's shot on the other hand is a mess.

Even after years of abuse by ORL FO, I can maybe let my optimistic nature buy in on a guy who "projects to be a good shooter" or "shot isn't broken"...but guys who shoot that bad from the FT line are not likely at all to ever be passable shooters

I have no interest in the Thompson twins.

If we keep 6, it’s between Hendricks or Whitmore for me. Can make a really good case for either.
Also, I believe only one of them will be available at 6.
Who we take there will dictate who we take at 11 (unless we trade it).

I have no interest in trading up. Cost is way more than the worth.
