Id take Sorber over CMB

I just haven't seen enough yet, it's hard to keep up on everyone.

This is also the natural cycle among American evaluations. When the college season is going the focus is college players and Euros get pushed to the side. College season will end and all eyes will be on Traore as his team enters their post-season. He shows out there and he's back to being a hyped prospect.

Traore has been absolutely horrible though?

The reason he and Hugo have fallen is because they've sucked. Traore looks like a clone of Dante Exum.

If Traore doesn't improve in the remaining games, I would expect him to be drafted around the same spot Collier was last year.

Are you watching his games, and if so how?

If not, I don't think you really know what you are talking about. He still has the highest assists per minute of any of the prospects and typically has one of the highest +/- on his team according to his box scores.

He is going through a cold stretch of not hitting shots, but without watching I'm not sure why. He's also playing against grown men, and honestly I'm still trying to figure out how to compare competition. I really wish he would have come to the U.S. to play college ball.

Thiero had a nice game today--26/10/3. He's doing just about everything but making 3s.

It feels like everyone knows he should go in the top 10 and he will eventually go in the top 10, but no one wants to move him up first.

A super athlete putting up great numbers who can really defend at the forward spot? Of course he's going to be good.

A third year wing player who can't shoot 3s going in the top 10? Of course he's going to bust.

Really tough spot for anyone trying to place him.

Lmao he's not a first rounder and t he can't shoot. Nowhere close top 10

Notable Freshman in RAPM so far (does not include today). This is a very measure, but still a way to try the answer the question "How does this player's team perform when adjusted for the teammates and opposing players". Coop is the number one freshman and carried by his defense. Harper standing out as the best offensive player. Ace and Edgecomb lagging behind the others.

I'd bet he goes later in the 1st round, similar to Ryan Dunn last year.

Ryan Dunn averaged 8.1 PPG on 56.4% TS%

Theiro is averaging 17.6 PPG on 63.1% TS%

Theiro is years ahead of where Dunn was last year (and is younger than Dunn was)

Dunn was the best defender in the draft last year. He had a bonafide elite NBA skill to give him a foundation. I like Thiero, he's got a lot going for him, but he's going to need to show he can make enough shots.
