Wrong. "No brains".

7.3 apg, 3.3 top. .48FG% .5482pt% 5.5ftapg .85% from ft and all defense in the SEC.

"No brains"

20 year old #2 mpg for John Calipari Kentucky Wildcats.

"No brains". What a rediculous statement.

I’m with you, not a lot of guards have the speed, first step and defensive ability he has. His game looks like it’ll be better in the NBA just because he’s athletically an NBA player and has shown flashes of advanced moves. In the NBA he’ll have more space to do more stuff with the ball. He still has issues, but has clear ability to translate to the next level. The question becomes if he’s more of a third string, Back up or starter. He’s an NBA player though.


I hadn't applied the thought of the NBA game opening up his skillset before. +1 to you sir

Every human has "brains". Their has to be a better way of getting your point across than saying "He has no brains".

7.3apg and 3.3 top for the #6 ranked team who only averages 74.5 ppg.

'18-'19 SEC DPOY. "No brains" C'mon. Idk what to even say now.

I'll tell you what, your rudeness made me look into Haggins more and now I'm thinking frindge lottoey for the guy.

Just gotta get that 3pt shoot right and hes 100% an NBA rotation player.

One guy I did not really like coming into the season but have really liked in college is Josh Green. He has looked way better than I expected.

I do agree with you, but I also wonder if he’s around an NBA environment with more space in the paint and he’s not a focal point how well he can do. Not every point guard in the NBA is a “point guard.” And if a player has the speed, athleticism and two way ability it gives him value as a project and worth a look. His potential upside is better than a lot of players in the draft even if he is a project. Look at a guy like Dejounte Murray, great college defender, super quick, but the same complaint with him was his IQ and shooting. Was he a PG? SG? No one knew. He was a “project.” But his speed helped him with shooters around him, his defensive ability (which wasn’t as apparent in college), and he went to a team with a really smart coach/professional influences that maximized his ability.

I’m not saying he’s going to become something, but the potential is there just based on his defense and physical ability. Maybe with space his jumper starts going like Murray did when he entered the NBA.

Murray is a different level of an athlete come on now, rangier, longer, bigger, Hagans is a fine athlete but he is not special by NBA standards

I think he can be a solid back-up PG, but I have a hard time seeing anything special

Murray's jumper is not going, not sure what you are talking about, he is very trashy on offense for a NBA starting PG

I'd give him a small edge over Terrence Shannon Jr.

Re Hagans, his 3 point shooting has been terrible, but he's an 85% FT shooter - gotta figure there's hope that he develops a 3. If he does, with his defense and improving PG skills, there's a lot of potential there.

Yeah, I was kidding around because they were mentioned back 2 back and are somewhat obscure 6'6 wings.

Not to speak for MotownMadneas, but I see alot of Montrez Harrell. Maybe slightly taller, maybe slightly bmore built (already) a really good vertical shoot locker (not much of a weak side shootblocker). A good post simple scorer who can throw down some vicious dunks. I expect a 9+rpg guy per 30mpg or so if he can hold up with NBA stamina playing two-way ball, up and down the court all game if not, I expect at least 22mpg of a guy with Montrez Harrell type #'s.

This is going to be a good draft. Probably alot of the guys we look back on in redrafts as lottery talents will be drafted outside of the lottery.

these defensive sequences by Lewis are absolutely absurd.
