After testing out as a greek god physically and committing to Duke via transfer, he is a top 10 pick now? Which I buy based on his skills and measurables, but sheesh.
This guy interviews well. I am getting really good vibes with this kid and could justify him at #3 really, anywhere after Cooper and Harper.
He entered the draft. Same happened to Jalen Williams and Scottie Pippen. Once they entered and people seen them live, they were like wtf and move them up the board as expected. College Basketball is not the NBA. It's a game of inches in the NBA. In college basketball, it's a coaching, feel, and overall BBIQ. Villanova was the one of the greatest teams I've watched in college basketball history and they only had one guy I felt was a lottery pick during their top end run. Mikal Bridges. DDV, Brunson, and Hart all had 1st round grades. All were tier 4 guys. The NBA values feel too but not really. The Miami Heat with Bron had no feel whatsoever but they dominated.
