What does that prove about Banchero’s potential at the next level? Lol. A player that got drafted into the NBA made a really good play, but it doesn’t change anything at all. Banchero still has sublime footwork in the post. He’s going to be a really good offensive NBA player, the only question is his defense.
banchero is closer to randle. people will think he is next bagley very soon. magic made one of the worst choice possible. a top prospect that cant play defenseand get shot blocked by a nobody? i would be wary of picking duke products that high.
Honest question, was green font forgotten with this post?
Got his shot blocked by a nobody? EJ Liddell was an All American this past year, 1st team Big Ten, Big Ten All Defense team and the vast majority of mock drafts prior to the draft had him somewhere between 18-25. So ya either this was missing the green font or there is a lack of basic college basketball knowledge being shown.
Then the Duke thing is just dumb. Duke players recently taken in the top 5
Zion: 1 all star already and had a 27/7/3 season on 65 TS%
RJ: Averaged 20/6/3 last year
Tatum: 3x All Star, 2x All NBA (1 1st team), ECF MVP and he just turned 24
Ingram: All Star, can pencil him for 23/5/5 over the last 3 seasons.
So since 2016, Bagley is really the only Duke guy taken in the top 3 that has looked like a bad pick.
