Im getting kinda nervous about him as a #1 overall pick. Starting to think i would roll the dice on Wiseman over him

That's the feeling I'm getting to. Every prospect has major flaws in their games. Also what about paul reed another amazing game I'm really starting to believe he can be a huge steal if hes drafted in the 20s

Yep easily one of the top plug and play upper classmen defense should transfer day 1.
Not sure he goes early 20s but late first seems reasonable right now.

I really like Xavier Tillman as a player just wish he was taller

I think he’s worth drafting though could be a contributor to a good team but probably off the bench

on a semi related note, Achiuwa finally looking like a prospect now

I've now seen him play 3-4x this year and he's been garbage every time.

What is your guys thoughts on Cassius Winston? I love his skillset and I think his game resembles Kemba's a lot.

he spent most of HS dunking on people, which won't work at this level.

Are you referring to Cassius Stanley?

Sorry, Edwards. Should've made that more clear.

Eh. I love him as a college player, but he doesn't have all the tools. He has TRex arms and no handle, plus he is the age of a Junior not a freshman. He's the same age as Marvin Bagley.

I dont think Stanley is a good NBA prospect.

To your post, I dont think Winston is a great NBA prospect either. Kemba was an explosive scorer that could create space with ease in college. I think if you were looking for a Winston comparison in the NBA its Lowry. Smaller non athletic guards who are really smart players that just make the right play at the right time.

watched that game. grown manned the bigs from USC, made his post moves quick and decisive, soooooper active on the glass if he can defend in space he could be a really solid pro for a long time just off of energy and activity alone.

sidenote. took away good and bad with Jaden McDaniels. defensive playmaking is there, extremely active on that end and seems to float/gravitate to the ball. Obviously need to see him outside of that zone construct but with the higher usage of the zone in the league now a team that may plug that from time to time could use a kid like this. The bad consisted of the shot selection, got a feeling there's not a look he doesn't like and every shot should be his. Has a young Rudy Gay vibe to him were Rudy willing to consistently use his physical tools on the defensive side of the ball. If he can keep the energy on the defensive end and harness some of it in exchange for pace and making reads he could also be a good player next level.

Jaden McDaniels is gonna be a hit or miss guy, either he's gonna be really good or just a complete non-factor, I don't see a mid point with him
