thoughts - i would of taken dybantsa over flagg. i think his ability to create space with one power squat hip step is unworldly. i just watch the games and he screams nba.
two players i'm highest conviction on panning out are dybantsa and fleming. Fleming comp forgot is mota ellis. He's not gonna bust. Middies are highly predictive imo.
player i'm least confident on is wilson. highly difficult player to judge - uncoordinated energy big flailing of arms doesn't scream star - and yet he has impeccable footwork at times and fadeaways for a physical profile - albeit in context of highlights not full game - if i go to my instincts - he isn't gonna reach that potential....but then acuff has such defensive concerns; fleming struggles with size; - felt leave those top 4 status quo
but after dybantsa; 2 could fall to a multitude of people; even an acuff or fleming. could envision a lower tier outcome of peterson becoming a wiggins the last ku guard this touted who did not live up to the hype. peterson is a very square player without alot of flow - (like a beal)...square players rarely become stars without elite penetration and rim finishing or in ray allens case elite shooting - and i don't think peterson has the rim finishing. and he i think he needs to dribble more than allen. actually scary how many missed layups the dude missed in the tourney on easy peasy fast breaks vs token pressure - vs st johns could not finish at all. he can't create for others - this is not a heliocentric player or someone as elite as dybantsa for creating space. 3rd option on a great team is a possible outcome for him
boozer is fundamental; but somewhat unspectacular and struggled vs elite comp. how good will he be ?
philon can be an all star. the knack ; the poise; the hesi - there is something instincutal with this guy. okorie is the last of the guys i think can be an all star - he moves Better then scoot or collier. collier was just a dumb player - never liked him to be close to lottery- no real instincts. okorie moves better than those guys to me. he has some elite elite stuff - better driver then acuff - takes more mid ranges then acuff - better first step then acuff - better defender, could be a really good defender ------not as good as 3; and what i would consider acuffs intangible "ace" trait is scoring "feel"; shooting poise to just slow it down and pop out of nowhere deadly accurate. he has the marbury look.
not a fan of wagler - hes an evan turner. nothing elite - just team full of white slow guys and he was the only one with semi- athleticism so they put the ball in his hands. watched all the big ten games i didn't think he was anything. lower on brown jr - just see bench scorer vibes like a mcbride with no mid range - feels replaceable, inefficient, loser ball but at least he has more skills then some. think ament is soft seen guys like him do nothing. wouldn't touch cenac with a 10 foot pole. guy can't hit the bronside of a barn. lopez showed me nothing - cam carr can't dribble.
Id draft winners like karaban, ejifor; tarris reed over most of those guys. Karaban is baically yaxel light - mid offense but toolsy player can do everything and defend his arse off - just not as big a wingspan. ejifor is a dog. energy dog. better block then morez - nearly close wingspan. reed came on at the postseason big time - guy can be a dujuan blair for the spurs - if his head is in it he outrebounds and scores on guys bigger then him.
KOA PEAT - maybe the hardest player for me to judge beside wilson - i like this guy on the hoof, one of rare guys that stood out to me watching games. he moves very athletically and carries his weight and power. can get to his spot in the paint and does have touch on inside middies - but his rebound numbers are bad. Somewhow - for someone of his build and thickness ; and lack of shooting it must be elite. Very unique skillset; thickness; inside power; and keshod johnson defensive chops. could be a charles barkely light who plays defense. -------somewhow finds his way to top of elite settings - star from day 1 of arizona; star of elite hs all star teams..thats meaningful......guy has a unique skillset - peat could be a top 10 guy
