Looks smooth and in control. Seems athletic even when he is just jogging down the court, unlike some players who you only notice in breakaway dunks (e.g., Grayson).
Easy to see the theory on how he could get 18 minutes a night in a few years. I like that it is not a boom or bust prospect in the sense that players of his type can range from end-of-bench to all-star (Kris Middleton). I wonder if he has the bulldog/in your face attitude you need (think Raja & Matthews).

Seems like a Spurs pick. (high praise)

I agree. The spurs, btw, had another really good draft themselves. Getting Quinndary at 49 was a great pick.

He's my favorite 2nd rounder we took. I bet he gets at least a two way contract.

Love his footwork and fluidity.

He was a hipster borderline 1st rounder until he **** the bed against LSU in the tournament and shot 2-16 and 1-10 from 3. They would have upset LSU if he just played kind of badly.

Yale was my sleeper pick to make a deep run too. I hope it was just a fluke bad game for him because I like him. Like other said he reminds me of Wes Matthews.
He's explosive as hell. Dude can jump. The problem is he wasnt aggressive enough as a scorer and he isn't a very good ball-handler. Kind of a straight line drive kind of player. I dont see him being comparable to Matthews.
Also, Miye Oni had the 2nd most bench reps in the combine, only 1 behind Grant Williams and 1 over Eric Paschall. Pretty insane for a wing with this length and frame.

Yeah, probably won't do much off the bounce. Straight 3 and d.

when there is a first round pick, they come in the day after or a couple days after the draft, make a big deal, have a little presser, etc. with these guys, they don't do that, but i wonder if any of them have arrived in utah yet. anybody heard anything surrounding that?

Short dudes who explode in height always seem to become good/great NBA players. That early point guard/ball handling pays off majorly.
