Brice is a walking bucket. Can’t deny and would now concede he should be In play at 16 because he has a bankable skill set, but I did not see anyone last year get blocked at the rim more than Brice.The term "3 level scorer" is thrown out there a lot, but Brice is actually a 3 level scorer. His finishing around the basket could be better, but his mid range game and 3 point shooting is at the top of the class. 50% from mid range with only 17% of those buckets assisted. That's amazing, and he gets it done in multiple different ways. His 3 point and FT shooting was almost identical to Dick's. Dude can put the ball in the basket. While his defense and physical limitations are not great, he is a really strong offensive prospect. It's rare to see a freshman be this good at self created offense. I think he can be a Warren/Bogey type and a lot of teams would be happy with that.
While I still wouldn't draft him at #9 personally, I do think people need to step outside the groupthink here and open up themselves to different perspectives. Brice is an edgy pick at 9, one that I would not make, but it's not that shocking.
Very high level 2.5 level scorer. I think he struggles at the rim even more at the NBA level.
