Lydon and Kuzma put up numbers. What's theoretical about them? The only thing you could say is Kuzma's 3pt shooting but he said he's more comfortable from NBA range.

It's not about the numbers, it's about the skillset.

For Lydon - everything but the shot is a projection. EVERYTHING!

For Kuzma - he's similar to Lyles - theoretical playmaking/shooting 4, who has never shot the ball well and doesn't always make the best decisions with ball in his hands. If he can't shoot the ball and if he can't playmake he's unplayable. Just like Lyles was this season.

For OG - 3 and D prospect with horrible shooting, who has never shot the 3 well over large enough samples and has horrible shooting projections + his offensive skillset is severely lacking. As I said earlier - to me he projects like a less skilled MKG. How valuable is this? Is he even playable in the playoffs?

For Ferguson - 3 and D prospect who again doesn't shoot well and doesn't defend at high level... but he has some athleticism and tools and has shown flashes of shooting.
 
Kuzma doesn't go round 1, no way, I'll wager small $$$ with anyone on that fact. I'll even give you the higher payout!

Nevermind... I'll feel bad about hurting yalls feelings and pride.

I would argue Ferguson is a good 3pt shooter. He made an awful mistake going over seas to play over college ball. Guys like that almost never get playing time regardless of skill level. It's hard to do anything in 6 mins of time a game. If I recall, he was thought of as a very good shooter out of high school, then hit 7 threes in that USA vs. world all star game, plus just watching that stroke, it's hard to believe he won't be at least average to above average.

Would also note that Kuzma shot much better in PAC 12 play, like 45%ish. What is that, like 16-18 games?

I'll go double or nothing with you.

Kyle Kuzma goes in the top-32 and Frank Mason doesn't - I get $20 and can edit your signature for 1 year.

Kyle Kuzma doesn't go in the top-32 and Frank Mason doesn't either - We're even.

Down with that White Choco, officially accept!

Mason can play D, make free throws, elite 3 point shooter, elite vertical; pretty much the anti-thesis of Kuzma. Kuzma has some height and that's it, he won't even be a good re bounder in the NBA. He's good in transition with a handle but ZERO D

Mason also outplayed Evans both match up bro, though they are both good. Don't know how you can't see the top 3 point shooter in the college basketball not having value when it's going for a premium in the today's NBA

Mason is 6'0 with a 6'3 wingspan. He's 23 and his stats aren't impressive for being a senior. Evans had comparable stats as a sophomore, he's 2 years younger and has 2 more inches on his wingspan. Evans is the best pick-and-roll player in the draft on top of all of that.
