I think he's physically more similar to Heurter than Kispert. Kispert is strong but not as athletic or smooth....but Heurter had a little bit more game in college IMO. I was a big fan because of what he was doing off the dribble and his passing.

The key difference between Dick and Huerter is frame. I can see Dick being a guy who bulks up to around 215-220 at his peak playing physique whereas Huerter is a dude who is probably clocking into the season just at 200 lbs.

George/Dick at 15/16 might be the boldest takes so far other than GG at 9.

Top 10... I'm not sure if he is more Kevin Huerter or rich man's Corey Kispert... apologies for the white on white comps here... but Dick is a white guy who looks like an 80s movie villain. I can't help it. I think he has a real high floor and is more than just a shooter.. not sure how much more is there.

He kind of reminds me of Hayward a little bit.

Maybe, I think Heurter has a lot of toughness too that makes him a decent defender. He bodies up a lot of guys. Haven't watched Dick enough to know how tough he is. Sometimes I feel like it's more important to be tough than built.

Speaking of frames....Whitehead has basically the same shooting numbers as Dick and has an amazing NBA frame. The irony is that Whitehead is worse in all aspects where you think that would help (rim, rebounds, stocks). Not saying I would draft him over Dick, but I think that if you like one you probably like the other for similar reasons.

At least with Amen he won't be as cowardly as Exum was. He's going to be able to get his shots off.

Amen and Ausar are so much different than Dante and Ben Simmons (the other guy that comes up) in their mental makeup. They also seem to love basketball which is a big differentiator with BS.

Nah, Whitehead is mediocre. Maybe it's mediocrity due to injury and he can certainly improve his stock with a good tourney, but he's more of a late first/early 2nd type guy.
 
The twins are interesting, but I have no idea how to reconcile their actual performance. They've got great numbers. But so do a bunch of teenagers much younger than them who aren't even elite recruits.

What? Again, no one in the OTE was as close to as good as the twins. Raw numbers don't really mean much
