Of course. Zero real arguments. I'm disappointed that you can't even make a new one up.
Does he or does he not use transition percentile? I have people telling me he uses transition percentile, one of those people being David Locke. Are you telling me that @Handlogten's Heros and David Locke himself are lying?
If you use transition percentile to judge transition ability, you are doing it wrong.
I'm telling you he uses more than that and he does not preach it being the end all be all and anyone acting like that is being ridiculous.
Good for him if he does. I am saying that this thing he does is bad and shows poor understanding.The transition percentile = good transition is objectively bad. If HH and others are also correct in that he does not consider defense at all, that is also bad. I don't care if you think Locke is some kind of Nostradamous. I am not a listener because his analysis was so bad it turned me off from listening to him. Cry about it if you want.
His eyes and actually watch the basketball games these dudes play in. His historical draft takes over the years and guys he likes almost never pan out.

That's why he hired draft people to make a draft show....
Not everyone has to be an amateur draft scout.
Lack of length is a real deal breaker for me.
Bummer. The shooting, and transition seemed good. Maybe a 2nd round scrub.
I would look at him after 40. He fits the profile of a 2nd rounder who translates, but his lack of size just makes me hesitate to draft him in the first round. Absolutely fantastic shot creator though. Unreal athleticism in regards to his pull-up ability. He fits the Jordan Clarkson mold IMO.
