From the draft thread, he dropped knowledge on WEEI:
Both rooks possess sound logical reasoning abilities.

36% 3pt and 81% FT as a senior. Similar numbers sophomore year but shot worse his junior year so not sure what happened there.

I think it was mid to high 30s HS. Don't remember FT.

Beyond that, the kid gets FTs, which I LOVE. I really think there is upside to his shooting after playing with the torn ligament in his hand. Look at Brown's shooting splits before/after his hand got healthy. That stuff matters.
He's not super explosive but if he can hit the 3 I think he's got some real Eric Gordon in him (not to be lazy with the Hoosier connection ).
The physicality as an interior finisher combined with his pull-up, PNR game is a potentially wicked offensive combo.
I really like how he combines with Jaylen and Tatum. All three with quality size. A good wing rotation there.
Spent more time thinking of it and actually think Corey Maggette might be a bit better comp for Langford.
Agree on the long-term fit - I love the idea of a switchable perimeter of Smart, Langford, Brown and Tatum. Tatum will have to get a lot stronger to become the PF in that lineup, but IMO that is his long-term position on the floor.

Maggette's first step was better. And he was a better leaper.
I think Langford is more skilled though.
My worry is he turns into a Jeremy Lamb - a scorer who doesn't do anything else and doesn't shoot well enough from deep. But I think with Stevens, his defensive development will be good.

Yeah, he's not the explosive 1-foot leaper that Maggette was for sure, just talking about general profile.

Watch the second half of this profile and you'll see Langford's BBLRA open to question:

Re: Romeo Langford Thread
Around the 2:40 mark of the second video, he finished a drive with his left hand.
Are there any other examples of him doing so?

He can finish with both hands though he is right hand dominant.
I like that base line pull-up he has - Piercian.

I don't know **** about this guy, but definitely not excited after hearing about his 3pt%. A wing who shoots less than 30% isn't really an enticing prospect.

Watching him. There's a few games of his on youtube I believe.
Here's the one against Duke.

Re: Romeo Langford Thread
I am reluctant to kill the pick because the only player I would have taken instead that went before 20 was Doumbouya. He is a decent player in a bad draft and we probably need a SG more than a SF.

I was hoping for Doumbouya too, and was disappointed we passed on him. I think I'll be keeping an eye on Herro/Romeo/Sekou and Williams/Clarke/Little to see if we really got the best guys in our draft range. Hope I'm proven wrong.
Hey you! Can we come together?

He played the whole season with a torn ligament im his shooting hand lol, jeez.
Tyreke Evans is who he reminds me most of, though like Slart, i see some Jrue Holiday. I would sig bet anyone that this board will LOVE him by January.
I like the pick but I wanna take that sig bet somehow...not sure we will be able to gauge if the board loves him... lol. The board seems a bit salty for some reason.
