Maybe.
Prince had a much better handle though. The way he could lead the break, run PnR, handle the ball, initiate actions, he was kind of like a point forward - in the mold of Lamar Odom. Risacher could get there but has a ways to go.
Offensively he's just a spot up shooter, good cutter, can finish in transition and sometimes attack closeouts, has some connective passing. Idk about a comp but he projects as a solid off ball wing with good size..and since he's still so young there's potential to develop more creation ability.
Normally he'd go a little bit lower but I'm fine taking him at 5 in this draft..
no he didn't. And he was 22 y/o when drafted. He did nothing that Risacher isn't already capable of.
Don't say "no he didn't" like it's a fact. It's not a fact. It's your opinion. And I expressed my opinion.
Constantly using this type of tone and making it seem like your opinion is always right and the other person is always wrong is why no one here wants to engage with you.
Stop replying to my posts - I already have you on the ignore list.
Bringing up Prince's age when drafted is not relevant to what I posted. I was talking about Prince as an NBA player. Heck, even when he was at Kentucky he was an excellent ball handler who handled the ball out on the perimeter a lot, initiated actions a lot, brought the ball up the floor a lot. And he was 22 when he was drafted because that's the era that he played in - he was before the 1 & done era. Back then guys typically played 4 years.
Based on your posts, you sound like a kid who's too young to have actually watched Prince in college to even know what he played like.
Risacher is only 18, so obviously there's a chance he develops more and becomes the on-ball threat that Prince or Lamar Odom were. But that is by no means a given. As of now, he's pretty much exclusively an off ball threat, like Jabari Smith was at Auburn, like Michael Porter Jr is and like Klay Thompson is..and there's nothing wrong with that - I was just pointing out the difference between Risacher and Prince - no need to get on your high horse and find some small thing to argue about to try and belittle another poster and make it seem like you know more than them.
Lastly, Prince not only had way more off the dribble skills but he also had a 7'2" wingspan, compared to just 6'10.5" for Risacher so that also shows why it's not the greatest comp..
