Is PJ Haggerty an NBA prospect?

Yes

I agree, but he’s m.i.a. on these “expert” mock drafts. The numbers speak for themselves. The kid is sick.

Is he like Fears if Fears is able to shoot the 3? He just dropped 42.

edit: Condon was also a water polo goalie apparently.


Ya, I posted the water polo before. So his fitness level is top 1%. I like these stories like Fleming winning top motor award at a camp and can hold a handstand for almost a minute with a 7'5 wingspan. :o

Lanier and Tennessee just knocked off Texas. Tre with a below average game to end his college career. Lanier seems like a Buddy Hield level prospect. He should be drafted in the 2nd round.

I know it's not "draft" related, but assuming Florida and Alabama win today the SEC tournament semi finals will almost certainly feature better teams than the March Madness semifinals as I think all 4 teams are top 5 in the country with a bit of a gap to #6. (Duke is #1 in my opinion)

Tre couldn't get his shot off against the best depth wing defending team in the country. Not a great sign, but not a death knell either.

He's a boom bust player in my opinion. Terrible rebounding and poor defense means he will have to be especially good on offense to be an impact player.
Passing and scoring project to be NBA level, but they have to be high or very high level NBA for him to make up for the lack of defense and rebounding.

It's fine margins when you play that way; look at Trae Young as an extreme example. If he was merely 85th percentile offensively relative to the other starting PGs in the league he would be a rotation player at best. Tre isn't that bad defensively, but it shows he's a major risk.

anyone just watch kasparas throw the ball into the stands 50 secs into game, trying to drop a dime to casper the friendly ghost.

everything with tre hinges upon his driving and dishing. not sure he has the guard skills of guys he's compared to. regardless even though he likely sticks in nba for a long time his style of play isn't really conducive to winning. he could shoot 50/40/90 and it wouldnt really matter to me if he can't drive and playmake otd given his rebounding and d.

I thought Condon was playing Aussie Rules Football aka AFL. I actually heard an interview about him talking about it. Playing water polo is incredibly different as a sport. Good on him. I have to say I am impressed with Condon's run/jump. The kid is just quick.

A Pg who wears number 0 and has the last name Fears is destined to be a star. I don't make the rules that's just how things work

I've been a huge fan of D Queen. My biggest thing is if he can hold down the center position, I think his jumpshot will come and he's smart enough to be able to defend decent.
