It’s 7 post-season games in a row averaging a highly efficient 30+ with translatable defense at 3 positions. It has to be a historically good run in modern college basketball.
But the main thing is what you said. As he’s doing it, he flat looks like a 3rd year NBA starter got dropped into a college game. He’s so much better and different that he jumps off the screen as “does not belong here.”
Now, some of that is attributable to his experience. But not much of it. I’ve seen him in mocks going anywhere from the 20s to the second round.
It’s hard to imagine him lasting that long but when it comes to “veteran” college players the NBA collective has been blowing it for years. It matters, but the amount of weight put into it is so severe it’s almost become completely dismissive of the rest of the analysis.
