Didn’t look broken in those clips. I do agree with it being preseason though. Looked like he had forever to shoot the ball in those clips, regular season won’t have that. Like what flow said too, not sure he will get enough touches to be a ROY candidate. They are saying he might start though. He can handle it like a point guard.
I hope to god Killian pans out, because I think this kid will.
Luka is an extreme exception as a kid who showed right off the hop that teams were stupid for passing on him (Hello Sacramento).
I see what you're saying though about buying low early on before their stock rises but buying low is usually based on instinct and projection. For instance, if you really believe that Deni will be a star, a one game highlight clip won't be the thing that persuades you, it'll be based on the larger sample size of what you saw of him pre-draft and projecting that forward.
Hell, if we just looked at Killian Hayes jump shot in the first 2 preseason games, you'd think that taking him at 7 was a reach but it's about projecting forward with these kids and taking into account with drafting him that high that he'll improve on that shot which will take time.
Very true. I’m going to hold off on Deni, if he lights us up tonight I may buy some really quick though. Haha.
