the biggest red flag is just that he wasn't very good in college last year. wasn't efficient scoring, didn't score very much. average rebounder, didn't make plays for teammates, turned it over a lot, had poor hands (which makes sense because it turns out they are abnormally small), made a lot of dumb plays, etc. granted, some of that could be that he began the year injured and the wrist may have bothered him all year, his coach sucked, the offense sucked, he had selfish teammates, he was one of the youngest players in the country, etc. so there are some explanations, but the fact is, he just wasn't very good and i don't know how much of what i just said is explanation and how much of it is excuses.
Podz >>> JHS eight days a week.
There was only one realistic option in what Cy said as far as who “they” could be.
every time i start to like jhs a little bit, i remind myself of that. just not sure what jhs gives you that podz doesn't give you at a higher level.
Right. Podz does almost all of the theoretical JHS stuff SO MUCH better. And it seems like every time he laces up he is on a mission to melt people’s faces and does it. Half-court lobs, deep threes of the dribble, that ****ing floater. Does it with ease and connects at a high rate.
My concern on Podz is that he may not be quick enough laterally to survive. I like him. I'm okayish on JHS... like I see what his believers could see. I just don't think he realizes it and at 9 there will be way better bets... at 16 I think there are better bets too... but it starts to make more sense.
I dont see many glaring red flags for Cam, but he just didnt produce enough for him to be a slam dunk guarantee. He's got the tools in spades, and that's what makes him higher than others.
Yeah, I love the idea of Podz, but he's got cement feet guarding his own man. He also had pretty mediocre numbers when they played better competition. He will be an interesting one to keep up with because he has a lot of the advanced stats indicators.
The passing is an issue... but not like he can't fix or work around it. I think his shot is pretty... the way he moves gives me shower boners (sorry it got weird)... I just think he's a guy that becomes tough to deal with.
JHS is bigger and better mover laterally. I also think JHS has better ability to rise up over NBA sized players to get his shot off where Podz might have to be more off-ball/quick decisions on-ball (effectively preventing him from being a primary handler and more a secondary side creator). You're also going to have to get someone to guard the 1 on the other team where JHS can realistically matchup with smaller quicker guards and not get absolutely cooked like Podz might.
