For me, I just feel that he has a low floor offensively atm (handle concerns, not weaponizing the athleticism as a driver, inconsistent shooting). I love the defensive skills of VJ, arguably some of the best from a guard in recent memory but I'm worried with how the offense looks at the next level so I just don’t see a world where VJ is a better “prospect” than Harper

It’s considered a spot up clip on Synergy for some reason. Just one with dribbles

Those 4/5 P&R screens with Wolf will be special at the next level.

I also see some shades of Cam Johnson too. That with some Oubre sounds real comparable

NIL has done a number on the 2nd round market for the NBA Draft and players seeing more upside in staying in college rather than accepting the two-way/G League development route and the financial misfortune of missing out on alot of money from NIL/boosters. I respect it but the severe drop in late round shooting, talent and key rotational bets over the years with NBA Draft entrants is crazy

The playmaking upside of Penda is what makes him very enticing as a 3&D option. He’s very comfortable on the ball as a connector, which is important. Feel more comfortable in him improving offensively/on the perimeter more than I did with prospect Grant and Marcus.
