Not sure if posted yet but this is the most impressive highlights I've seen from any player so far outside the top 3.

The two way potential and fit would be worth trading up for.

took easy path to put up stats , failed to put up stats, stock fell. High upside but very immature and irrational about skill level, despite all that based on post season interviews. Not a good sign he has the right mindset to be coached up, or the drive to take the challenge to be great. He could just be another pay me pay me pay me type
Pros: Potentially an elite scorer who should be capable of good defense given his size/athleticism/strength. Has a nice looking shot. Has a great combination of size/height/athleticism but isnt extremely long. Tough shot maker
Cons: Immature, may be boom or bust with regards to playstyle (if he cant be a leading ball dominant scorer, can he have value as a non-#1 option), defensive effort is poor, awareness is poor, passing is non-existent, might be years away from contributing. Tough shot taker
I would be willing to bet it's grown to at least 6'11.
His last wingspan measurement was last fall when he was still 17. I'm holding my breath to see if he measures at least 6'8" w/o shoes and gets his wingspan up to at least 6'11," which would be comparable to Jayson Tatum.
The biggest question with GG is his attitude and coachability, imo. No one's going to let him get away with some of the weird **** he did at South Carolina. If GG is coachable, I don't think he busts. He'd just have to be willing to play a complementary role a la Jeff Green, rather than try to be a dominant play finisher. Some of GG's rim finishes also showed a lack of touch, but I'm assuming he can work those out with reps.
There is a group of teams drafting in the 13 - 17 range that would make some sense for GG--Thunder, Hawks, Pels, Lakers. I'm expecting one of them to take GG in that range. Otherwise someone might try to trade into that range to grab him.

Kind of a highlight rant, but those No Ceilings vids are going to ruin this thread.
0 negatives, or “opportunities” so everyone here that only watches highlights thinks everyone on these is next after Wemby. Not a dig at the Jarace vid at all, just them in general.
I think ole boy at Hoop Intellect is the best out now. Unfortunately most of his vids are from mid-season and a lot has happened with most of those players. Seems like he will be releasing updated vids soon though.
He’s super knowledgeable and very balanced/honest. Highly recommended.
