I like it. He’s a bucket. I watched Baylor a bit this season, he can get on a heater

Great value at 19 in a terrible draft.

I'm a little surprised by the pick. Thought they'd go big.

I like him more than other guards like Carrington, Collier.

He's got great size for a guard, he got to the line at a good rate, and the 3pt efficiency should improve with better shot selection.

I think he can make an interesting tandem with IQ.

I trust the Raps scouts here.

Not mocked anywhere to toronto. Raps kept it close. Didnt think he would be the pick but looking to see how this works out

I read somewhere that his highschool performance showed a lot more on ball creation fwiw

good pick. didn't overthink it. just went BPA as they should. just add talent and shooting. obviously you hope that he can develop his game but at the very least we won't have to worry about his shooting.
