Mark Williams is a top 5 prospect. He will be special in the NBA. Reminds me of a smarter Hassan Whiteside with better touch

As is probably obvious, I'm more in the latter camp. There's a team out there who looks at this kid and says "good rim protector, great inside game, competitor. Nice but that doesn't wow me. What wows me is what I could potentially achieve with him as an inside-out offensive focal point".

The league values very highly the game that he brings. Vooch is a guy who's made a lot of money fulfilling a similar role to what Trevion could bring.

So Trevion is smaller. He really gets up off two feet but he's not what you call explosive. Who cares though, right? It's missing the point. You draft him as a fulcrum where he uses his smarts and offensive flexibility to manipulate defenses.

Let your other big cover his deficiencies. But in him you have an elite decision-making and ball movement toolbox that works in this league.

His absurd advanced stats suggest he doesn't damage the team by being unconventional in other areas. He's making Ivey a ton of money, that's all i know.
In this shítty draft, assuming you're ready to embrace handing the keys to some degree to a rookie with a weird game, why not take him well up in the first round?


I don’t know if you are asking me or not.

He doesn’t look like a pro prospect to me; pretty much everything he shoots is a sloppy right handed hook, not much of an athlete, or size/length. He is a gamer though, seems to have a nose for the ball.

I wouldnt touch him for POR. Maybe a team with fewer holes in its front court might like what he brings.

Trevion is basically a poor mans Xavier Tillman. A bit taller, much less athletic, much worse shooter (And Xavier isnt a good shooter)

Thats huge. Guys that height with a handle are in huge demand.

SF with ideal size who can dribble are always going to be in demand.

Daniels handle is one of the weaker parts of his game. Coughs up the ball quite a bit when being pressured defensively, or when he tries to dribble through tight spaces..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I think he has a great handle for a 6'8 guy at 19 YO. Any wing that manages 4.4 APG and is given the green light to take the ball up court has to have a good handle (At least for his age).

This is draft time which means height exaggerations. I want to see those official measurements. I watched him this entire season and he didn’t look significantly taller than when he started at 6’6.

Also I think the best mock if he becomes a wing is a shorter Nic Batum. If a team develops him into a combo PG he could be Lonzo’lite.

Probably already talked about and cant believe I just now realized this. But I didnt realize how old TyTy already was. I had no clue he was already 20 years old. Wendell Moore is a Junior and is only 2 months older than TyTy.

Yes. He's super underrated but it seems like more and more people are realizing how good he is, between how young he is, 7'1" wingspan, good athleticism, plays with a fire/intensity/swagger, really good defender, really good apsser and 3 pt shot rapidly improving towards the end of the season.

Definitely a guy I see rising up draft boards here..

A shorter Batum is for sure worth a top 10-12 pick, which is where I think Dyson ends up.

Terry is 3" taller and seems much twitcher athletically.

I think he is 100% a FR talent. Seems like the type of low usage, smart, do-it-all type combo guard that most teams at the end of R1 will be looking for.

Every team from 25-29 should be looking at him (BRK, MIL, GSW, MIA, MEM).

He cooled off from his hot start from the year and missed a few games with injury definitely one to look out for next year

The only time Kyle Anderson has been described as twitchy is after drinking too much coffee.

I think Delon Wright with a motor is a good comp. Wright has a lot of similarities stylistically and in terms of frame, but he is asleep 75% of the time.
