Burying the dumb **** about Clayton Jr not being "athletic"

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He just knows how to play basketball. He's a natural. And he's pretty athletic.

And he can shoot the **** out of the ball

That's the key. That is where my hope for him lies. His shot reminds me of Steph as much as anyone's.
If he shot the ball like Collier then I would be higher on Collier.
WCJ is right there with Tre and kon as the best shooters in the draft. This will surprise some people cause I'm a huge Tre fan but due to the quick release of WCJ I think he is the better shooter.

He's super quick and gets to his spots, that's all you need to be able to do

Even if he did I’m not sure you’re right.

Walt is the better defender. The better floor general. He runs the offense better. Collier probably has better vision, and is a better passer, but I’m not sold he’s a smart player. With that being said, Collier is younger and has room/time to grow. Walt should be the more mature player, and he clearly is.

That dunk at 1:32.

A lot of Clayton campaign managers in here. I like him, but I’ll wait to see how he plays next season.

Ain't worried about the athleticism. The size and his jumper has been getting blocked a bit... so may need to speed up that release.

I wonder if there is anywhere I can find out who the most blocked (percentage wise) player in the history of the NBA is?

Yup, lots of new intense pressure on the speed of his release and his handle. Being a rookie isn't easy.

He's at least sufficiently athletic but I get people who have concerns on that piece. It doesn't explode off the screen and he does at least look a bit small out there.

I think his athleticism is fine. That said his rankings in athletic categories should be compared by age. There is a huge difference from 18-23+ in athleticism.

Side note I wish they did regular combines in the NBA. It would be amazing to see the results. Or at least a few simple tests preseason every year that was standardized.
