165 tho... He's a paper weight lol.
Players like Terq are good for getting off to hot starts and then washing out. Legit talent, but maybe too many questions and not enough production:
Often when an NCAA player is a star after the top 10 picks there's some similar complaints pre-draft. Here's some quotes.
Jimmy Butler:
Not a great athlete... Lacks great quickness or explosiveness... A bit of a tweener?
Draymond Green:
Isn't quick or athletic
Too small to play power forward ... Too slow to defend small forwards.
Middleton:
Middleton's first step off the dribble is not very impressive and he rarely gets past his man in isolation situations
there are questions if he will can maintain similar success against the bigger, more athletic opponents he'll face on nearly every possession
Devin Booker:
Booker’s speed and athleticism is merely average. Though he is not poor, he isn’t gonna blow by anyone and will struggle to contain quicker players at the NBA level.
Sabonis:
Sabonis lacks both exciting athleticism and length. He doesn't bounce off the floor high, while his 6'10 ½" wingspan is unusually short for an interior-oriented player.
Brogdon:
Brodgon lacks a degree of shiftiness and explosiveness, making it difficult for him to turn the corner at times already at the college level.
An average athlete by NBA standards, the Greater Atlanta Christian product makes the most of his physical tools by playing with tremendous intensity
Fred VanVleet:
He isn't a great athlete either, as he doesn't possess a high top speed or a quick burst
SGA:
Gilgeous-Alexander doesn't blow by defenses.
Without the speed, athleticism or reliable three-ball, Gilgeous-Alexander projects as more of a role player than a star. He could start one day if given enough support, but low-end starter, like Payton, is his likeliest ceiling. Gilgeous-Alexander checks boxes for a guard—he just doesn't own any.
Wasserman.
Brunson:
is just an average athlete overall and won't blow anyone away with his quickness or explosiveness, even at the college level, and not certainly not the NBA.
Herro:
He lacks blow-by burst and explosiveness around the basket, where he shot just 49.0 percent.
Haliburton:
He's No. 10 for me because of concerns about his scoring potential since he doesn't have blow-by speed
Bane:
Not lengthy, with a wingspan of only 6 feet, 4 inches
Doesn’t have great athleticism; lacks blazing speed and an explosive first step
