CMB will be a better scorer than Scottie, even without the jumpshot.
Nbadraft.net has a different opinion. btw, Scottie Barnes has a max vertical leap of 39.5 inches with 9'0.0'' standing reach.
Weaknesses: At 6’6.5″ barefoot, Murray-Boyles is undersized for a traditional post player, and while his 7’0” wingspan helps mitigate some of that, he lacks the vertical explosiveness and lateral quickness typically needed to overcome size limitations at the NBA level … He’s not particularly quick or bouncy, which could hinder his ability to finish over length or defend quicker forwards in space … His offensive game is heavily reliant on physicality, and he may face a steep adjustment against stronger, more athletic defenders at the next level … Lacks consistent perimeter shooting touch, hitting just 26.5% from three and 70.7% from the free throw line as a sophomore … While he did show growth by attempting more threes (9-of-34), his overall efficiency remains a concern, his mechanics look okay, but results are inconsistent, limiting his projection as a stretch-four or pick-and-pop threat … According to Hoop-Math.com, 75% of his shot attempts came at the rim, where he converted just 66.7%, a concern given the step up in rim protection at the pro level … Struggles to create in space and is still developing offensive polish beyond bully-ball tactics in the post … Can be turnover-prone (2.4 TO per game) when asked to initiate offense or operate as a creator against athletic defenders … Though a willing and creative passer, he doesn’t project as a true playmaking forward, lacking the vision and ball-handling to function as a secondary initiator … Much of his long-term offensive potential hinges on developing a reliable jumper, but there’s currently little statistical evidence to suggest that’s imminent … Without a more refined offensive skill set or improved athleticism, his scoring efficiency and overall impact may be limited against NBA-caliber competition.
Outlook: Murray-Boyles projects as a rotational big with starter potential, though realizing that upside will likely depend on continued development of his offensive skill set … Some evaluators are extremely high on him, with projections ranging from a lottery pick to a potential future All-Star due to his age, toughness, and versatility … However, we’re on the lower side of his NBA projection … While he has been one of the most productive and assertive young players in college basketball over the past two seasons, his skill set doesn’t necessarily translate as well to today’s NBA… He stands out in analytics models thanks to his ability to impact the game across multiple categories, rebounding, steals, assists, and defensive activity, especially as a long, switchable forward … But the negatives must be weighed carefully: he’s essentially a small-ball big who lacks ideal lift, explosiveness, and shooting range … Without significant improvement as a shooter and more refinement in his offensive game, there’s a real risk that his effectiveness doesn’t carry over against NBA length and speed … He could still carve out a role as a high-motor utility forward, but projecting him as more than that, without tangible skill growth — could be overly optimistic …
NBAdraft is a fossil stone lol.
And I already said it before, Scottie’s stationary athleticism numbers blows Cooper and CMB’s out of the door but that’s just stationary workouts. It’s not the same as functional nba athleticism.
It’s why RJ is a much better driver and rim pressuring player than Scottie despite having 0 advantages over Scottie in stationary athleticism ability.
Watch Cooper and CMB’s tape, the way they utilize their physical ability is night and day compared to Scottie.
