I didn’t scout Bub too much because he was in between our picks…but my quick view of him was “JHS but actually deserving of the hype”. I wonder if WAS keeps Poole off the bench and lets him run the show. They’ve got a weird mix of players.
 
The time between the draft and when we get to see prospects play is heaven. We can all just dream about how good they are. Seeing dudes you would’ve drafted with your team’s pick look better than the player your team drafted is hell.

It's brutal. First off his voice is like nails on a chalkboard and then his takes are just bad. Particularly his defensive takes. He tries to blame Bronny for everything when most of the time it's another teammate that is the issue or it's just good offense.

Is he just bias because he thinks Bronny was only drafted because of his dad?

IIRC he shot >50% on mid-range off-the-dribble jumpers on high volume (per Thulein or Barlowe; I don’t know how to find this stuff). As a freshman. In a major conference. Paired with ~33% from 3 and ~80% from the line you have yourself a damn good chance at having great shooting all over the court. Especially being 6’ 5” with a 6’ 9” wingspan and playing PG/lead guard from the start of the season.

He didn’t do well near the basket. That’s the only red flag I can recall.

I really don’t get why some prospects get so much hype and others don’t.

Haha, it can be a kick in the balls. It kills me watching Whitmore even though I do like some of the flashes Hendricks has shown.
