I like his intangibles.

Rumor has it, he drives his Maserati 185…

I think you're confusing him with Jordan Mazzulla.

It’s the Rocky Mountain way.

He's 19 and 2.01m? He wont grow. Dont know why people say he is lengthy. He is at a SF size at best - very similar to Jaylen brown but with longer hands i think ? He probably would be at a disadvantage is he was to play at PF.

looks like a dog defensively though which is a plus but he will need the Yiannis special to bulk up so he isnt outmuscled by SFs and PFs in the NBA. I'm guessing his shooting wont go from sub 0.3 to 0.37 for him to become a reliable space and pace player at SG.

Overall his videos look promising. He plays bigger than he is [i thought he was closer to Yiannis size rather than Jaylen] whixh is always a plus.

Maybe we stick him next to houser and one can teach the othet how to shoot and how to defend :lol:

Only seven center and two PF prospects (and the French SF Rayan Rupert) had a bigger wingspan than his 7'1.75" in the draft.

They think he has the lateral speed to keep up with PGs while also having the length and bulk to guard PFs.

Is he Sam Cassell's son?

The last time the Celtics drafted an Arizona Razorback, he ended up scoring over 20,000 points in his 18-year career.

Meaningless irrelevant factoid, but a factoid nonetheless.

But looks ready on the defensive end. No one will be blowing past him.

The number doesn't bother me. He was a freshman. As long as the potential is there, I'm fine with him at that spot.

FWIW, he started out 9/40 from 3 and then made 11 of his last 32. All small sample sizes, which is why his stroke is much more important than his stats.

Incredible that it's 2023 and some folks still don't realize wingspan >>>> height.

I would think that standing reach is even more important.

Height is not a big deal, you don't play defense or block shots with your head.

Wingspan allows players to play taller than they are. I mean, Robert Williams looks menacing out there but he’s not even 7 feet. Wingspan just seems to add height.

He has alopecia, thought that was obvious. Same thing Charlie Villanueva had.

Really hoping his defense and athleticism can transition to NBA level. Probably will see him more in Maine this upcoming season than Boston.

Well, Mazulla better get out the ping pong paddles and teach this kid how to shoot.
