Tyrell Terry is playing better than most of the freshman guards in this early season. Shooting 50%, 40%, 87% with a 4.9 STL%. Has Stanford playing at a high level so far.

Holy crap, I think I found one. Landers Nolley.

Looks like an instant superstar, in the early going.

6'7" 230 pounds
20 ppg on 64% true shooting
18% assist
2.9% steal percentage, 2.7% block percentage
7 3fga per game, 78% free throw

Looks like the #1 pick in the draft through less than 10 games. Was the best player on the floor in a win against Michigan State.

@Negro, check him out, man.

Watch on YouTube

Plays like Paul Pierce.

Yea, I was checking him out after the first three games or so and wanted to give him a larger sample size. My initial takeaway was that I wished he was more athletic, but he does have the size and length necessary to excel. And it appears obvious that his shooting profile is elite.

I am concerned about that 8% of shots at the rim with a 57% FG in that area.

Nolley hasn't be super unassisted up to this point, but his handle and craftiness are evident in a lot of the highschool videos.

I haven't heard of him until now.

I really like how Maxey and Shackelford have looked, though. Defense and passing have been afterthoughts with those two, but both look like scoring dynamites that can play on and off the ball ala Collin Sexton.

Anthony Edwards is the biggest disappointment so far. He's like the worst aspects of R.J. Barrett (can't shoot, bully ball dependent) and Cam Reddish (inefficient scoring, low basketball IQ) all wrapped up in one.

What are your thoughts on Kira Lewis? He seems to be the driver of that offense so far. Putting up decent scoring numbers.

I also think that Arizona has a chance to win it all this year. Their freshman trio of Nnaji, Mannion, and Green is pretty remarkable. I think Green is a guy we should keep our eyes on. He's struggling from three early on, but I can't imagine that will continue with his 86% from FT and him being a comfortable three point shooter (3.3 3FG per game).

Kobblehead · Post #50 » by **Kobblehead** » Tue Nov 26, 2019 6:01 pm

Kira looks pretty good to me. Seems like a surefire 1st rounder. He'll get picked apart for being a sophomore with no defense and ordinary passing skills so he'll probably fall to the later stage of the 1st round.

I like him, though. He can score and his shooting profile looks solid (if unspectacular).

Mannion seems like the guy appealing to me most. Lead guard skills, scorer on and off the ball, maintaining elite efficiency.

Green's point of attack defense is pretty impressive. Need to see him raise that scoring efficiency, though. Agreed with not being concerned about the jumper. Seems like the percentages are just skewed right now and will right the ship.

I'll tell you what though, he went nuts today.

Damn. He needed that.

Looks like Winston went off, too. Man that kid is such a pro.

Kentucky losing at home to Evansville
Duke losing at home to Stephen F. Austin

Are these examples of the apathy of star players in the NBA, devaluing the regular season, directly setting a bad example for the kids that idolize them?

I get that upsets happen, but come on.

Also, is Kevon Harris a potential 2nd round stud?

He is similar to KBD, Anthony Tolliver, Jared Dudley, moves in sand, very limited athlete, straight up face-up PF, probably a fine back-up if he is as team oriented and smart as Tolliver and Dudley are

I don't think basing evaluations on height/weight/athleticism comparisons are ideal.

Tolliver averaged 8.1 ppg for his 124 game college career.
Bates-Diop averaged 11.1 ppg for his 109 game college career.

Dudley was a pretty good college player, but he was a defensive zero and had a average at best shooting profile.

Nolley has been a fantastic defender and currently has an incredible shooting profile. And is better at age 19 than any of those guys you just mentioned were at any point of their college career.

Like I said, I think he's in the same spectrum as Paul Pierce/Gordon Hayward. Limited athletes (which is increasingly less important) but the craftiness and handle give him upside as a scorer in addition to his all-around game.

If you think Pierce and Hayward were limited athletes we can just stop the discussion right here

Nolley can't create any space off the dribble, and no, he isn't better than what Dudley was at BC, who was also not a defensive zero and has been a good defender in the NBA btw

Nolley seems to have a really good jumper and has solid size for a back-up PF, you would want him to have more athletic tools but he can be okay if he can play team bball on D, that's about it, he has shown zero tools on ball in terms of generating offense facing up through putting the ball on the floor
