Good shooter, long arms.

I'll admit I feel he's a bit overrated, he's a JR so the development opportunity probably isn't there quite as much, but he has the tools.

He kind of has a similar body type with the long arms and stufd, but that's about it. I don't understand that comparison at all.

At best I think he's a Klay Thompson type guy offensively with a little better defense.

Villanova can just take it to another level. Would love to have some of their guys on my team, but also wouldn't mind them all coming back and trying to make it 3 in 4 years (if they win tonight that is).

Draymond is more comparable to Miles not Mikal.

I thought the same, especially being from the same school - I think they botched the comparison and confused themselves :)

They also often don't have the ability to pass to the open man, and that open man rarely has the ability to knockdown a shot at a high enough rate to dissuade a coach from using a double team.

College basketball is weird, might as well be a different sport at times.

Took Draymond a few pro years to become DRAYMOND. Bridges has time. Feel free to pass on him lotto teams, he'd look good in Sixers red white and blue.

Ginger #1 draft pick. Better than Bagley, Ayton, Porter.
