He has that prototypical SG body in the vein of Wade and Dipo. Only problem he doesnt have the ball handling or finishing they had AT ALL. Its crazy how poor of a finisher he is with how athletic he is. He's legit on defense, but offense......... ehhhhhhhh


His ballhandling is probably on similar level as Oladipo after Freshman season. Oladipo stayed for 3 years at Indiana. VJ, of course, further advanced otherwise tho imo

He did. Just tested later. Worst lane agility time among any non-frontcourt player that tested this class. Bottom 10 from past 5 classes among non-frontcourt players.

EDIT: not PG but *draftee, so It's still Donovan lol

Thats worrisome.

Theyve already got Ball as a cone.

I dont remember Miller being a good defender.

Ok wasn’t expecting Utah to be bold there. Can’t say what Wiz do here. They drafted Bub Carrington as there PG of the future last year. They could use Tre Johnson here at the two
