This dude's shot is pretty damn wet. He looks like an SF that could fit right in. Good luck to him.

I remember scouting him when we were in the market for a 2nd rounder.

I like it. He’s a better talent than Wiley.

Webb is the new Dinwiddie, confirmed.

I'm getting the sense that a trade is brewing...

This kid is good. They must have been at this game accessing to take a flier on him. Good playmaking skills, a good stroke, the length is Kuzma-like, his first step is quick, and his IQ on help D.

It's pretty frustrating that 3Webb isn't on the all star ballot yet. When are the Nets gonna get respect?

bruh I'm in love wit this kid's stroke. This is 6'11 Chris McCullough putting a hand up. That's a clean stroke over a 7'2 wingspan. We might see him in March. :o


Sean Marks has been watching this kid for a year now. :lol:

This guy is pretty efficient hitting 37% from downtown. Let's see how the shooting translates in NBA games.

Finally a wing that breaks the 6 7 height barrier. At 6 9 he brings some welcome height. DeMarre at 6 7.75 is closest

But his wingspan of 6 10 while good is just average for our team. Although this is more credit to our team than knock on Webb

Din 6 8.5
DLo. 6 9.75
LeVert 6 10
Crabbe 6 11.25
DMC. 6 11.5
RHJ. 7 0.5

Nice hearing that he has explosive athleticism and has quick first step. The things you can't teach

Seems a great system fit

Edit - I just realized Acy has a 7 2 wingspan - :o

watching tapes on him and yes he can. He averages a steal and nearly a block per game too.

He likes jumping the passing route, playing the passing lane, is aggressive in the post D and likes to press high.

I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much here. I remember thinking that French kid would wind up in the rotation, and he never even played a minute.
