elite passing. He doesn't just make the right reads, he also delivers passes where only his guy can get it (even if that makes the point of delivery somewhat unorthodox). I love this kid.

"still"? Dude has done nothing but cement his top-4 status, imo.

There are a lot of good passers in this draft. Traore, Demin, Wolf, and I even like Boogie as a passer. Some people would put Queen up there. The thing that Separates Kas from those guys is his shooting and size, which open up his passing even more.
I got Kas on a tier above all the guys you just named. Love me some Wolf, doe.

I'm not going to argue over semantics as I think Kas is probably the best passer as well. Although I will say that Traore does more with less than Kas.

Someone compared Kas to Haliburton and I liked it.
Just so you're aware, Lamelo is flakey, but he's been playing at an All Star level this year.
my question was about prospects, though. I remember LaMelo well enough to feel confident that Kas is a better passer at the prospect stage.
I dunno bros.... I guess I just think Kas is the kind of passer that doesn't come around every draft or even every 3 drafts.

I think Egor may be a better passer... I need to watch Kas more. The combo of lights out shooting and passing plus some physical attributes makes Kas the real deal to me.
Kas threads the first and the second needle of the pass. His skills realllllly leap off the screen to me.

Derik Queen is the type of guy whose limbs all seem to be remote controlled by different people.
Dude is a career-ending injury waiting to happen in the NBA.
Can we find a loophole that would allow him to play 15 years of college ball? I mean that's where he belongs. Great, weird college player. An unathletic but skilled 6'8'' tweener pretending to be a center. Only in the NCAA.

yup, that archetype can be great in college, almost always struggles to find a place in the league.
Please name all these players...
The difference between Queen and your run of the mill college 5 is that he is a very talented passer.
Also you're a moron if you think Queen is 6'8.
Will always be funny when posters will take prospects they like and give them the "in shoes" measurement when they talk about them then for the ones they dislike they go with barefoot.

Barnes has been used quite often as a comparison for Flagg. If Flagg can match Barnes numbers in the NBA it's not a bad #1 pick at all. I'd argue Deni Avdija should be used more often, as the floor for Flagg.
MJ was probably 6’ 4” and Hakeem was probably 6’ 9”.
