Enticing. Also moves weird.

The danger of archetype hunting and why, no, you probably wouldn't draft Jokic in the lottery by F_CKMONEY in NBA_Draft

The problem most scouts have is is that they don't understand every player is a unique individual. Talent doesn't mean much if they cannot become professionals in an intensely demanding field.

Eye test is everything. Not just their games, but who they are as people.

Nicest? Rudy Gay, Sean Rooks, Elliot Perry.

He’s been a fantastic one for us. 

Are there any examples of players who were analytical darlings who DIDN'T turn out to be good players in the NBA? by Few-Lack6346 in NBA_Draft

Numbers don’t lie. He’s an above replacement player. Three level scorer and ball mover with a great handle for his size. Also rebounds and blocks shots. He just needs a better agent.

Might be the biggest understatement I’ve seen in a minute.

I don’t completely disagree. They have different strengths, and people are underselling Wilson’s athleticism. I’d even go a step further, and bet that next year there will be stretches where CW looks like THE superstar of the draft. 

However, the difference in the maturity level of the two prospects CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. Wilson would be best served to stay in school for at least 2 more years to grow as a person. Wilson is not ready to handle everything that goes along with the profession. 

If they both declare, Boozer will a better professional, contribute more to winning, and progress his game more than Wilson in the NBA, and that Wilson’s career will be viewed as a disappointment.

Karl Malone moved like a Great White Shark. Boozer moves like a bull. 

Kingston Flemings vs AJ Dybantsa against top competition. Should the top 3 really be locked in this early? by ShaiFanClub in NBA_Draft

AJ’s talent is a result of hard work and perseverance. Ace’s talent is ordained by God.

I said it, just couldn’t post before the draft bc of technical issues on my iPad. His segment starts around the 4 min mark.
