We will see how it translates. Pretty meh.

Guy is 6’1 and tiny.


College Cole: 50.1 TS%
College Jase: 62.4 TS%

That is WORLDS different. Hopefully it translates.

Maybe size wise, that's where the similarity ends

Jace is an outstanding pick. We just drafted our Mike Conley. He is crazy efficient. Can hit open shot. You dont play for Izzo and not play defense. He and AB can absolutely play together

Its 25th pick man. Its rare for these dudes to even make it past the first contract. At least we picked someone with 1 NBA level skill unlike our usual pick a dude and hope he learns a skill.

It's hard to extrapolate much on his offense considering he got limited minutes for half of the season. Advanced stats like him a lot. We're on of the few teams that can cover his height issues.

Was he coming off the bench? Why such low volume?

Cole was bad off the ball while Jase is good. He was not my favourite pick becouse of height but at least he can ball.
ps. unprotected firsts are given like nothing. Our 1st to move to draft Coward ? Bane trade looking better and better
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

I wouldn't go that far. Jase seems like a SG in a PG's body.
