Essengue probably the most Pascal like
Kon’s mom has liked a few of mine and @Handlogten's Heros tweets fwiw
Yaxel and Pascal have very similar measurements. They are also similar in that they were older and playing for mid majors. That's kind of the end of the comparison though.
I don't think Noa is that close, but maybe in 4 years he will be.
Queen reminds me too much of Big Al (if Big Al was a better passer, maybe it’s just how he “moves”) and I just cannot get into that. I’m forever scarred by that bum.
Yaxel isn't as athletic imo

Fleming has a nicer handle than I was expecting, but man, he is way too functionally small to play center in any real way. Just no presence in the paint.
Feels like just a really good rebounding PF if he pans out.

Yaxel is more Kyle Anderson than Siakam
Philon's handle is tighter than I remember, and it gives me more confidence he can play PG at some point. His ast/to ratio is the best of any of the Freshman pgs and although he isn't the most creative passer, he's still very good and potentially held back a little by playing with who he did.
His defense will be good enough to keep him on the floor and offensively he has a floater and can catch and shoot well enough to allow him time on the floor to expand his game.
He's 100% the player type that I like, so he'll be much higher on my board than he might deserve, but I think he's a good enough bet to improve over time that I'm comfortable with it.

Good player. Wish he wasn’t as light as he was but he’s really high on my list for 21.
I'm bad at comps, so I'm not going to try.
Offensively he does a little bit of everything. He handles a little, passes a little, is comfortable pulling up from mid range, drives to the basket, takes catch and shoot 3s. It's just hard to say what will actually translate because of the competition. He tends to try and do too much sometime, but that's kind of his role.
Defensively he is very comfortable guarding out on the perimeter. He's not the quickest mover, but gets low to the ground and uses his giant wingspan to play against much quicker players. He has very good reaction time to make up for limited athleticism. He's long enough and strong enough to defend bigger players, but the league he is in didn't provide many reps to really see what he could do against true bigs.
Yes, him gaining strength is why he's going to need a couple years.
His trash talking adds about 25lbs though, so it evens out.
No, and it's probably not close.
