Surprised there wasn't a thread on him already. I liked him as a Freshman.

might still be a little undervalued on here but I dont think there is any question he has late first stock potential even if somebody gets a mid 2nd steal

I really like this kids game. I think the modern NBA is tailor made for his style of play.

I don't know much about him but some mock draft I was watching the guy was making Bones sound like a tough guy to cover.

He sure looks tough to cover to me:

He is absolutely another one of these high upside sleepers in this class which is full of them

If you like Bones, consider Abmas. He's at least as deadly a scorer, and additionally brings some point guard skills.

He's like a 6'3 Klay .. But he's 6'3.. going to be interesting to see where he ends up. Really nice talent though

Size and stats seem very similar to Quickley. Anything glaringly similar or different with their game?

I really rate this kid. He looks every bit of 6'3" and the wingspan is much longer. Incredible 3-pt shooting stroke with massive range. His touch is sublime and the handle is maybe not starting PG level but adequate for SG/combo. Great on ball defender.

He's late lottery level to pick 20 for me, that kind of rank.

You do realize he's 6'3' and 165 lbs right? Way too small to play the 2, not enough play making, or defense to play the 1.

Has there ever in the history of the NBA been a good player with measurements close to 6'3" and only 165 lbs? He should go back to school, dominate another year of college, add on 10-15 pounds of muscle and then be a lottery pick.

Either way I see him as a jamal crawford / vinnie johnson come off the bench and bring high energy, hit some shots type. Not a starter level player but good bench player so worth a flier late in the 1st round / early in the 2nd,.

Going off of memory that sounds similar to Ja's measurements.

Been a fan of him ever since that video of him beating two guys at the park when he was young and realizing that he was in a house fire where some family members died.

Kid is the real deal. Put 15 lbs on him over the next 18 months and let him loose.
