I don't know, my mock draft for the 2022 draft is pretty spot on right now. I even account for things like Kessler being traded to the Jazz and whatnot. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself.
This.
I know it makes for fun in a thread now, but this will all look so different by April.
Nick Smith Jr looks good. Strong "alpha" energy.
NSJ looks smaller than I thought tho. Pretty thin and he's more like 6'3 rather than the 6'5 (definitely long armed tho) he's listed at. Not the ideal physical profile for a top 5 guy, but he's definitely an athlete, even coming off his injury.
NSJ definitely isnt the kind of player I'm a huge fan of, but he's going to be a dangerous scorer in the NBA. Has great energy too.
Terrence Shannon Jr had 12 points in overtime to beat #2 Texas. Might be the best senior in the draft

Watching Duke… not sure they like Whitehead… his teammates have looked him off quite a few times. With the weird injuries to some of the key guys I wonder if they struggle to find a groove and end up sinking their stock further than it should go.
Have only watched him a little. He does look smaller than 6'5". Plays with confidence and reminds me a bit of Nick Van Exel .
If he's able to put on some weight he's going to be dangerous for sure. Super quick and a great handle. He's going to be absolutely dangerous in NBA space. I can see why he gets the hype, he's just on the smaller size of what you would ideally want your 2-guard to be. The fact that he's coming out this aggressive after being out with an injury tells me he has the "it" factor of a #1 option type.
I assume he plays at the 1, no? And my comp's off. He's not as quick and shifty as Nick the Quick.
Smith Jr is also only 18 and turns 19 in April, so extremely young.
Your comps are awful my guy. He's extremely quick and shifty and if you are judging him off his recent tape he's coming off a knee injury.
And he's not a 1, he's a 2 or a combo.
He hasn't shown much burst yet. That doesn't bode well for guards who aren't very big.
I love my comps... His slight build and swagger remind me of Nick Van Exel, but I'm not seeing the burst. This is Nick Van Exel all grown up.

This is at Cincinnati. Unfortunately, it was edited on a toaster.

You've clearly watched a very little of NSJ and saw that his name was Nick and then just picked another Nick in the NBA to comp him to because they are both combo guards...
Eh.... the "Nick" thing is just a coincidence. It's true I haven't watched him much yet

This is not a comp but a body comparison but NSJ reminds me of Reggie miller.
