They are both wild cards. They are athletic, great. Eye test doesn't mean anything in crappy competition. Howard can shoot the lights out and you can bet GM's would be more comfortable taking him over the twins, especially for a freshman doing what he did this past season in college. Amen has no chance to ever develop a shot, it's beyond broke. Not touching him. Would actually draft his brother over him who at least has a chance to develop a shot.


Under 37% from college 3 point range is shooting the lights out?


Weak response. He's a really good shooter that gets it off all over the floor and in motion. 37% on 7 attempts for a freshman lol .. very good. But you will take the 23% from 3 from the twins instead


You could have just posted your last post without writing "weak response", it seems like you want to start taking shots because you are upset. Please stick to the topic without making personal attacks.

Jett's field goal percentages do not indicate that he is a lights out shooter and when you couple that with him being bad at just about everything else he's a DND.

Here you go with your part 2 in your fake personal attacks just because you lost the argument. No need to go down that road. This is a discussion forum and you provided a weak response - just calling it as it is.
Jett is very much a lights out shooter. Twins are not even dominating in a low talent league and they are posting joke shooting numbers lol. Just stating facts for you.

Very well, I'll start calling your takes weak, bad, dumb, etc... if the mods feel like it's acceptable to tell others that.

Don't provide weak responses then and you won't be called out for them.

Thank you for bringing to light how my opinion is weak for claiming that a player with a 41.4% field goal percentage is not a "lights out shooter".

Alright, let's please reset this conversation.

For the record, discussing and debating someone's posts and its quality is within the rules.

a) That argument is weak (acceptable)
b) You're weak and stupid (not acceptable).

It's very weak when you are calling Jett Howard one of the best shooters in the draft not a lights out shooter with 37% on 7 attempts for a freshman, especially with the attention he got all season. You are just spinning your wheels for no reason because you have no argument since the thompson twins have putrid shooting numbers in a bad league.

Reading all of your arguments makes me feel like I'm losing brain cells and the quality of your posts is god awful. Perhaps one day you'll learn what good statistical output is for a basketball player and make meaningful contributions to the forum.

You cried wolf, now you have another weak response - how ironic. Perhaps you need a tutorial on basic basketball statistical information - mainly about shooting, since you have failed to comprehend on multiple attempts. Until your next ban rejected.

I know we’re probably not going to take him, but just if we do I wouldn’t be mad.

We should filter out some of these longtime posters who believe that Marvin Bagley is better than Buddy Hield and make frivolous, defamatory claims and erroneously believe that they are more entitled to the free use of the realgm platform than newer posters.

I'm not sure how I feel about George.

He definitely has a deep bag offensively, three level scoring, a decent playmaker and a better defender than he gets credit for, although still could improve in that area.

I think the issue I have with him is he isn't particularly good at anyone thing. He's supposed to be a scorer but his percentages are horrible and the rest of the package is just alright.

It would really depend on workouts and the combine but as of this moment, I think I might be a little more tempted to move back in the draft and grab two guys who can contribute instead of picking George.
