Turnovers are one of the least concerning things for prospects. it usually just means they are playmakers who take risk, which is a good thing.

On top of that….its just weird to throw in stocks and lack of fouling as the only way a ball handler can make up for being turnover prone. It’s not like Kas is even bad in those areas, but it’s a weird association and fixation on “the possession battle”. Kind of funny to be so critical on the possession matter and then toss aside the elite offensive production.
The other criticism of him was his catch and shoot three pointer. He had a 51 shot sample size being poor….thats like a fart in the wind and it just makes his off the dribble shooting more impressive. We really going to drop him because we don’t have belief in his C&S?
If these are the concerns, sign me up.
I'm choosing to believe he was playing D like that because they were blowing out the other team.
totally agree. His PnR and PnP options are pretty abysmal.

Traore looked like the best prospect out there.
I'd be curious to know where the Jazz have Bailey and Jakucionis on their draft board. I'm guessing they'd be back-to-back, but it's hard to guess in what order.
Fears and Tre Johnson both played pretty well in their head-to-head matchup. Both were knocking down big buckets late in the 2nd half.
Collin Murray-Boyles is better than Grant Williams when Williams was the SEC POTY. He passes better, handles better and is more athletic. I don't think his transition to the NBA is too much to ask. He just needs to extend his offensive game out on the floor and rep out his shooting.

Dink Pate is shooting 40% from 3 as an 18 y.o. in the Gleague. That actually isn't very common. I think he's a 1st-round prospect, especially in this draft.
I think Kessler is good enough that he influences us to not take a C, but I wonder if Maluach goes really high in this draft. It is not great after 4, I could see Maluach going in that 5-10 range and might bump someone down. His stocks are curiously low for a guy his size, but I think he does have great physical tools and good touch around the basket. He’s shooting close to 80% from the field and is a good FT shooter.
IDK what youre looking at, but he's 36% in 22 games.
If Fears continues to be a sub 30% 3pt shooter and Collier contniues to look somewhat promising, Fears would probably be on my "Do Not Draft With the First Pick" list if it ends up falling to 7-8.
