While I am not a fan of him at the next level, for this level. Best FR PG I've seen. Even better than Chris Jackson.

his game today was unreal, his teammates miss so many freaking passes all the time, he should be averaging 15assists

Is it fair to say he's Chris Jackson with better court vision in an more PnR styled era?

It's a matter of fact, not opinion, that bigs in college have less space in which to operate due the "shooters" (psst, Grayson Allen is shooting 22% on threes in ACC play, so good luck relying on him or some other freshman as a go-to player) around them having less range and spotting up around a shorter arc.

4 games.

In the 50 ACC games prior, he shot 40% on 5 attempts per.

If you can shoot off the dribble 3s at the NBA range like he does, you are basically guaranteed to be a really good NBA player.

Offensively he'd be incredible as an off-ball player in the NBA as well. If he falls outside the top 5 in the draft I'd be very surprised.

I had him in a group with Bamba, Ayton and Jackson, but after this last game I have to put him top 3. He’s so good. You can’t be this good at 19 and not translate.

For Phoenix Suns he's my number 1 pick.

There's a few risk factors to his game but I think they're all helped by having Booker next to him.

Offense would be dynamic...but defense? Worse than Lillard and McCollum? Now...that's BAD. Booker has gotten slightly better on defense this year, but that's not saying much....

Portland are 4th in Defensive Rating this season so I think it shows guard defense isn't as important and that you can put defensive players into the 3-4-5 position if you have 50 points locked in.

Can you imagine Young and Booker with what they're doing this year (55 points at their respective levels) having an improved system next year (defense isolated and spread with multiple threats) what they'll be capable of.

Even then with TJ Warren. That wing would be hard to guard. Marquese Chriss is pretty much what Young has right now with McNease. I really think adding Young can instantly make the Suns a lot better. And it’s funny because his favorite player is Steve Nash.

guard position defense would be the least I would be concerned. Plus Young is one of the hardest workers in the game and I doubt he gives up defense bc that's like losing trust on ur teammates which he absolutely detests it and wants to be recognized as a well-respected leader.

considering top 5 would go to the hawks, celtics, magic, grizzlies and kings, who would pick him? would hawks give up on schroder for him, or magic would give up on payton? if all these teams go with the fit, he might fall out of top 5. i think magic will pick him up if he is available and let payton go or trade him this summer or next summer.

Mulhollanddrive · Post #476 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Mon Jan 15, 2018 1:23 pm

I have him going to Sacramento in my mock because their owner is obsessed with Steph Curry.

To the point where he traded Cousins for Hield thinking he was the next Curry.

Lol I’ve thought about that, but it’s hard to say when they have Fox and Mason.

Magic would give up in a heart beat for him. That's not even a question. Hawks need someone next to Schroeder who can shoot, so i wouldn't be surprised if they picked him either.

Dennis is a ball dominate PG. Trae is a ball dominate PG. Not gonna work.

We are one of the best shooting teams in the league, 5th in 3pt shooting. We lack, especially in the paint and we ask a lot of our bigs.
