I can see Topic slipping in the draft. Out of site out of mind. With his injury he is not impressing anyone.

This is what I look for in a prospect this year.

1a - shooting
1b - defense

You need to have passable defense if you are a good shooter or passable shooting and a good defender.

2 - passing. Watching BYU play this year it makes the offense really moves when everyone is a willing passer. It covers a lot of weakness.

3 - positional size.

One of the reasons I am loving Sheppard. Amazing shooting with passable defense. Pretty good passer and if he measures at 6'3" he has decent size for a PG but small for a SG.

Oh heck yes. Look at Sheppard's 3 point shooting. 52.6% AMAZING!!!

Since he blows by people and gets to the rim, so.... most of the season.

He definitely doesn’t do that. The majority of his points are on fast breaks and standing around waiting for the ball.

Look, I have came around on Bilal. I’m not 100% sold on him still but let’s not make up stuff about what he’s doing offensively.

Currently he is like a slightly minus version of Royce o neale on offense. We know there are a lot of opportunities to be had there if he was able. Someday he may be much more I guess... but that day is not today.

Williams is more efficient that Ingram was at Duke, including 3PAs. He's just lower usage and volume.

I guess if you just looked at a stat sheet and make a wild jump in your mind that if you increased his volume and usage he'd be the same player, but then if you actually watched boht players when they were in college....
 
Also some important things to note on Cody Williams.

Despite being a relatively low usage wing, he has a high turnover percentage and a negative assist to turnover ratio. For someone who has been presented as "Point Guard" by Draftexpress, he isnt nearly as much as a playmaker as Stephon Castle imo.

What he's able to do offensively is not the same as what he's doing playing on that disastrous Wizards team.
 
ok kinda getting upset. The Fanspo draft simulator still has the Jazz drafting 11th but we are clearly at #9. I am tired of creating a new draft order. Sorry just needed to vent.
