Says he models his offense on players like Paul George, Tatum & Ingram.

His experience functioning as a big guard in those Seattle open runs is now more useful, thus giving him more upside than defensive-minded wings. To reach his full potential, he'll have to improve as a 3-point shooter, as he's a bit hesitant to fire off the catch, even from the corners. But he boasts strong shooting mechanics and flashes a reliable stroke in the midrange and from the charity stripe. -- Mike Schmitz

Fotis would embarrass both of these guys if we are being honest.

He’s not going to be shooting off the dribble like community college, he’s got to learn to catch and shoot

Finally someone who's done some homework on the pick. He shot 40% on his 3s as a Freshman, so he has some type of shot. He should be fine.

He's a tough kid with good athleticism and length- damn that is gonna be nice to have on the wing.

Also like that he's not a teenager. He'll be 21 when the season starts. It wont take three years for him to contribute.

It was a 12 game sample size in community college. I sure hope you're right, but let's not overstate things either.

The Ignite don't work on shooting, all of their guys shot poorly because of it. They do learn to defend there, move without the ball, rebound. Don't put too much stock in those shooting percentages.

Also, they play all road games. How do most players look as shooters in road games only?

He attempted 33 3s in the G-league. Pointless to base anything on that small sample. But I've seen pundits write he doesn't shoot well. OTOH he made 40% of his 3s in college on high volume; poor competition, but I doubt he was getting a lot of open looks since he averaged 30 points a game.
Feels like another first round bust, but I hope I'm wrong.
Wish we bought into the early 2nd round.

If he could shoot, he wouldn't have been available at 24.

Milt claims they didn't think he'd be there at #24 & were trying to move up to make the pick.

I will root for him until we trade him in a couple of years for the corpse of Al Horford.

What's your free agency status?

Age 44 , Undrafted , 5'11 , NBA comparison Chris Paul on offense , Pat Beverley on D. Started playing basketball at the age of 9. Super athletic,
the only thing that I had to polish was shooting the 3, BUT back then it was the mid game era.

Imagine thos board if we moved up for him. People would have an aneurysm

Also another guy cant creat for himself because his ball handling is sub par. Thats the scouting report on him.

the vaunted “he wanted to be here” explanation for the #24 pick, ugh yeah I think he’s happy just going in the 1st lol

Milt really needs to work on selling guys. Pretty low bar when it comes to athleticism in Milwaukee. Not a ton of young athletes running around on the Bucks.

And I'd love to play for the Bucks. Does that get me drafted?

Had some Thon vibes here as they kept showing a new high school every year.

Nice physical profile, but he'll need a vitamins IV. His shot doesnt concern me as much as his Sterling Brown-esque BBIQ. Might end up being a great pick, but I dont see a contributor next year.
