20points on only 12 shots playing within the offense. Scouts hating on his defense he goes out there and gets 5steals and a block.

He has tremendous positional value that will probably push him up into the lottery. His gravity to draw defenders will make him a valuable asset on the floor even if he doesn't touch the ball.

not about not being a believer in the Thompsons, i think they can be good depending on the role each will play in the NBA, but I'm not sold that they are lotto level in a strong class yet. but 9 and lower is still widely fluid and they could very well move up at some point if I can clearer read on their skill sets will project.

1 Victor Wembanyama

2 Scoot Henderson
3 Anthony Black
4 GG Jackson

5 Keyonte George
6 Nick Smith Jr.
7 Cam Whitmore
8 Taylor Hendricks

9 Dariq Whitehead
10 Ricky Council IV
11 Jalen Wilson
12 Jett Howard
13 Cason Wallace
14 Jordan Hawkins
15 Gradey Dick
16 Jarace Walker
17 Kyle Filipowski

Good ranks.
NBA teams will certainly have the Thompson twins and Brandon Miller in their top 17.

How come no one is talking about Wemby anymore? The guy is 7'4 crossing dudes up and shooting one legged 3 pointers.

McCullar with a case as Kansas's 2nd best prospect, ahead of Wilson.

McCullar higher 3 pt %, higher BPM, way higher steal and block rates, way higher 2 pt %, much lower usage guy too..

wouldn't be surprised, and I get the intrigue on some level, but still have questions that I've already outlined in this thread and the B Miller thread.

but those teams get paid the big bucks and im just a weirdo posting on a message board.

You could say what's there to talk about any of these guys.

a lot? majority of the guys status is not locked in. that's why no one is talking about Scoot either, because he and Wemby are locked in 1-2 and the draft pretty much starts at 3.

Victor has looked like he added a little weight, and then he started dominating at a ridiculous level against his competition and he's been basically healthy. Even the doubters have basically kind of had their few concerns answered. I said in some thread(maybe this one, or another one) if he's a generational prospect, he has to start crushing these lower tiers of competition like a basketball prodigy, and then he came out and took dumps on the G-League showcase, and went to his league crushing it too.

I haven't followed Scoot as heavily, but he would have had to have his jumpshot appear to be completely broken to start getting people questioning his spot, and I see he's shooting 47% from 3 to start his season off lol.

Just such an easy #1/#2, that we have nothing to talk about, in a good way. I truly hope the Pels can score one of them.

If KJ Adams ever learned how to shoot he could be draftable.

It's just like when Zion was consensus at some point it's boring talking about it. He can't go higher than 1.

also there's a thread dedicated to just Wemby on the general board that's like 60 pages long

He should prob use both feet until he can hit 30% of them.

How is his penetration when going to the hole? Is it strong or is he soft when going deep? :clown:

He seems to more successful when cutting in on back doors.

Lots of shooters in this draft. How do you rank them?

GD
Jett
Hawkins
Filipowski
Miller
Wallace

As far as a 'pure shooter,' probably Gradey Dick tops the list. He's the most Korver-like guy who will shoot off movement and shoot off the catch.

clyde21 · Post #1119 » by **clyde21** » Thu Dec 22, 2022 4:00 am

Gradey and Hawkins are in a league of their own as shooters

Dat2U · Post #1120 » by **Dat2U** » Thu Dec 22, 2022 4:24 am

I'm a big Dick fan. Best pure shooter in the draft. Got some pop around the rim as well.
