I see more of a young TMac. Durant was a more pure scorer with a little less athleticism.

TMac is the guy I see, too. Regardless, super exciting prospect.



Yup, TMac with more dog in him. TMac was more laid back.


TMac was super fluid and twitchy with a guard-like handle and a 40" vertical.

Yea, dude was a monster. He just had no dog in him which is why he never got out of the first round.

Naaah Tmac at one time was THE best SG of the league. He was a monster/killer. He couldn't get out of the 1st round with us because we could only surround him with mid-talents. HE hurt his back carrying those scrubs.

How could you get out of the 1st round with a rookie Miller and an injured GHill. Or the ovewrweight and old Ewing and Kemp.

When we spent money Juwan Howard and Drew Gooden decided to mail it in.

He was a monster, but not a killer. He didn't get out of the 1st in Houston or Toronto either.

TOR he was like the 2nd fiddle there. Couldn't get the ball with cousin Vince.

HOU I grant you that. Although the tougher WC seems to be a reason.

Okay, here's some more athleticism coming out. Impressive stuff. Is this guy even 18 yet?

Promising. What comps are we thinking? I'm seeing Tracy McGrady/Paul George on the NBA Draft subreddit.

Smh. So someone who is laid back isn't getting out of the 1st round....you do realize Tim Duncan is one of the more laid back players in NBA history, right?

He pretty much never said a word to anyone.

Jayson Tatum, also very laid back.

Jimmy Butler is a dog, right? But has no rings..got destroyed in both NBA finals trips.

This dog stuff is very overrated.

Jokic is very laid back..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

TMac was laid back and soft. Duncan and Jokic are not soft. Tatum I'll push back on. He has notoriously come up small in the finals, and he couldn't get off the bench in Paris. Butler is definitely a dog. He hasn't won a ring, but he's massively outperformed expectations and always comes up big when it matters. His problem is that he's always propping up mediocre casts around him.

Paul George makes sense, but I'm actually seeing a few more flashes of playmaking than PG13 normally showed.

You can watch the Nike Hoops Summit for a full game w/him. There are more full games, too, but that one is really easy to find.

I mean it's basically a highest bidder situation seemingly. Don't think visit order is that relevant.
