JJJ isn't even a generational talent on either end, much less on both ends.
Nice analysis bro. Here's mine.JJJ, already is one of the best shooters ever for his age, and one of the best shooting bigs ever. Additionally, he shoots at an elite level from every kind of three which gives him great gravity. That's compounded by him already taking big strides in terms of off-ball movement which means he potentially weaponize his gravity and shooting to move defenses to devestating effect. He's also progressed and shown flashes of decent passing vision at a young age which suggests he can be a decent to good passing, When you pair high volume, effecient versatile self-creation AND off-ball scoring from range with solid passing you can get top tier teammate creation. That's worth noting, because "creation" is probably where he projects the lowest.
Additionally, he has the speed, driving, srength(potentially, and explosiveness to exploit the massive defensive attention he will warrant from outside, with a strong interioir game giving him the cieling as of of the league's top scorers. When you pair great scoring with solid-decent passing, you get a viable engine for a great offense. His capcity for offensive rebounding and putbacks is also useful.
Finally, he has a great jump, great positional iq, a great second jump, a massive wingspan, great explosiveness, great timing, is quick, and very fast. He fits the profile of a future defensive centerpiece which means he could rack up the value of a fringe superstar on defense alone. His failings defensively are almost entirely atrributable to his lacking strength However, that is common for young defensive greats(draymond green/ron artest/ad alos posted high foul rates before filling out.) Fortunately, JJJ has wide shoulders meaning he can fill out to have massive strength which would near instantly make him one of the best defenders in the league. The other issue is his footwork, at times, but that's just par for the course for 19 year olds with a low center of gravity(something which filling out will fix). The only reason to doubt JJJ, aside from potential injury, would be him inexplicably not filling out, but as that's basketball development 101, I'd be shocked if he didn't.
If he does, that gives him fantastic perimiter d, shot contesting, AND rim protection giving him best defender in the game potential, as well as an elite interioir game, potentiallly all time shooting, great gravity and solid passing which would make him one of the best attacking players in the game.
There's no prospect in the game who potentially matches that combination of skills save for maaybe zion.
Tell me where I'm wrong.
. Calm down scout. An entire analysis based on hypotheticals. Too predictable.
