Christopher reminds me of JR Smith.. Moody reminds me of Nick Young.. I think Christopher could become a JR Smith with better IQ

Yeah a young JR with the Nuggets came to mind as well.

Moody and Young however have vastly different games.

Ball handling, passing, switchable defender, good size with a frame to add onto, smart, assertive, passionate, and plays hard. You'd never draft him to be a focal point or say go get me a bucket to. But if send him out there and just let him play you're going to get positives out of what he does give you on the floor. Position be damned.

Reminds me of Antoine Walker.. I dont think his defense skills or effort translates but will be a highlevel scorer and passer imo

NBA Nick Young and USC Nick Young were an almost 180.. in college he was a shooter, defender, scrappy wing player.. we saw what he became in the pros.. but Moody does look alot like USC Nick young to *me* I like him as a guard prospect though and think he can be what Young wouldve become on a better franchise than those wizards

Charles Bassey per40 numbers right now are pretty absurd, 26/17/5.6, but his FT% is down this yr so far from 78 to 63, gotta bring that up back to >70% but he's looking spry right now, he's also on the younger side for a junior

not sure if he's anything more than a late first / early second type tho.

Younger side... sure :lol:

It's well known that Bassey is already 23-24yo

You can also just pick one or two out of the following list if you have opinions on them but not others:

Jason Preston (Jr.), Ohio
Justin Powell (Fr.), Auburn
Cameron Thomas (Fr.), LSU
Ron Harper Jr. (Jr.), Rutgers
Javonte Perkins (Fr.), St. Louis
Justin Lewis (Fr.), Marquette
Kadary Richmond (Fr.), Syracuse
Alan Griffin (Jr.), Syracuse
Quincy Guerrier (So.), Syracuse
David Duke (Jr.), Providence

PS: Have I already mentioned how much fun it is to watch Jason Preston play basketball?

Nobody on anyone?

You could add to the list Pepperdine's Kessler Edwards also!

Battle of the Scotties...

Post #772 » by **Duke4life831** » Sat Dec 12, 2020 5:08 pm

The battle of the Scotties has been damn good so far. Barnes with the massive jam.

Barnes is 5-6 FG but the game’s on ESPNU? I’m sick.

For anyone who can't watch, the game's biggest story is Florida's Keyonta Johnson collapsing early on and being taken to the hospital He's in critical but stable condition.

His development will be fun to watch. Not an on the ball guy in the league I am guessing but him being anything above neutral offensively would be a godsend.

Why the hell did they finish that game?

They were given the option and decided to go through with it.

as I've been saying since the season started, Boston is NOT an elite prospect. I''m embarrassed for all the draft "experts" that have him rated so high. Clarke is a better prospect and even he isn't lottery worthy.
