Maybe it's his court vision. I like him as a prospect but I don't see what some see calling him top 5.
To me, THT's role looks to be similar to Lance Stephenson, a point-forward with some burst and some handle and wiggle. So it depends on whether you like that type of player. He's an interesting player when he plays on the ball, but if he's a wing, he doesn't really stand out.
If THT could lose 10 - 15 lbs, he's got enough of a skill base to develop as a bruising point guard in the mold of a Baron Davis or Deron Williams, but he'd need to expand his PG skills and focus on initiating offense. I believe in him more than I believe in Lu Dort right now.
THT should be looked at as a combo guard anyways, not a wing. I know he has the wingspan to defend some 3s but it's his combo-guard ability that makes him intriguing more so than his ability to switch to wings.
i look at him as a Donovan Mitchell type, but without the verticality.
