Following Potential 2025 Draftees

I think Fears has legitimate star potential as sort of a lesser SGA if he can become more of a true PG and fix that broken jumpshot form. His touch is very good if he fixes his form and he's basically unguardable because he moves so strangely people have no idea how to defend him.

But that form is just so ugly.....

But still kind of thinking of putting Fears in the top 5.

Keep seeing Ace compared to guys who are elite shooters when his indicators are worse than guys whose question mark is shooting.

he has excellent mechanics and it terms of indicators, i'm not sure how many there are, but you take away one game where something was clearly off and he went 1-8 FTs, he's a 76% FT shooter on the year. that's not elite but is good. if you watch the kind of shots he takes, his 35% 3pt is a minor miracle - the fact that he takes so many tough shots is a problem, but he does make a pretty solid amount of them which speaks to his shooting ability. 46% FGs and 35% 3pt is average is average, but difficulty adjusted, just watching his games, it's pretty impressive. the biggest thing is shooting stroke is basically flawless.

He's nothing like SGA... Much closer to a Fox.
 
SGA is 6'6 with a near 7' wingspan. He's not a speed demon, he's a craft god.

Fears is 6'3 with a 6'3 wingspan. He's a speed demon.

HadAnAffectHere continues to have some of the worst draft takes this season.

SGA like in that the movements are so odd that people don't know how to defend him so he constantly gets penetration and can get to the line at will.

Fox plays like a very traditional PG for 2024, SGA moves in a way defenders can't help but foul on.

I think Fears has a hitch in his jumpshot.

A slight hitch does not constitute an ugly shot. Fears does not move like SGA.
 
My worry is Fears is more Tre Mann than Fox.

He's obviously physically much worse than SGA, if he was just SGA with a bad jumpshot form, he would be #1. Instead, I have him in the 6 to 10 range?

The angles and moves he makes are so interesting and weird... But he's so small and his jumper is not good.

Yeah but he's nothing like SGA. If you want to SGA comp anyone in this draft, it would be Harper.

Ehh, I just see prime Harden every time I watch Harper. You know what's coming every time and you just can't stop it.

(Obviously Harper needs to be great at making stepback threes to actually be prime Harden)

Fears is like SGA (but again, very small) in that he could change direction in a way you don't expect at basically any step.
