Korver/Kapono

Nah, Gradey's an athlete, apparently. That lifts his ceiling considerably.

He regularly surprises players with his speed, lift, aggression.


think a more Austin Reeves with elite shooting. i heard his only problem right now is initiating his own offense.

As per NBAdraft.net, Gordon Hayward


healthy Gordon Hayward was an all star.


That's the comp I was looking for, I was thinking red velvet, but he can get to Hayward scoring

Grady looks Korver-ish to me. More than your typical catch and shoot guy.

Wow. He's tall and he gets his shot off really high. Looks like he's got a lot of potential to start for us.

Reeves is a good defender, Gradey is not.
