Following Potential 2018 Draftees

The highlights i've seen of KBD, I wasn''t that impressed with his speed. What position does he play in the NBA? I would be ok with him but he isn't at the top of my list. If one of his con's is not playing hard then NO THANKS. Rarely, does a player learn to play hard, alpha dog type players play hard naturally because they are super competitive.

I noticed the same thing. He doesn't seem to move very quickly on defense or offense. But Kyle Anderson has proven that moving slow isn't always a problem.
 
And yet somehow he did for the majority of last season while Aaron Gordon was hurt. In fact he played very well.

Offensively, sure.

On defense? No.

Ingles would be more effective as a 4 on defense than Mario, but that’s a bad idea too.

If it’s just spot minutes, maybe he could, but I don’t love it.
 
Rough game for Okobo's team so far. They are missing a lot of open looks. The opposing team is doubling Okobo hard anytime a screen is involved. Okobo for the most part has made the right play out of them. Only has two shots so far, going 1/2 for 2 points and a handful of assist.
 
Okobo had 11 points in the 3rd quarter, all in a 2 minute or so stretch. His team is just way outmatched. Feels like his team's offense is mostly him running PNR and Monaco is completely blowing that up with hard hedging double teams. When they have gotten open looks they have missed.
