I definitely get having questions on Ace, as I do as well, but his shot making is legitimately special and not just a GG Jackson/Cam Whitmore level prospect.

And he can do stuff like this:



For me a big thing on him would just be how he interviews/his mindset. If he can develop his body and he works hard, he can be extremely good.

That first step was FAST
 
Essengue will need to get in the buffet line next to Cody, but I’d rather have someone with bonafide wing skills than an energy big like Asa Newell. Essengue is interesting.
 
Passing can come along for Ace....I just see his low assist totals as more of a reflection of his BBIQ and lack of feel. It may surface in the assist numbers and be most evident and playmaking, but it shows up all over the court in different situations. This can get improve and likely will get better.....but he's going to need a ton of improvement. His physical profile is much better than Tre's, but I think Tre has great feel (on offense).

3-6 is still very volatile for me. He could end up anywhere in that range.

Ace is going to have to transition to playing like Lauri in the NBA.

It's absolutely hilarious when people compare college players and proven NBA players straight up.

They play in environments that are nothing alike. The defensive pressure Lauri faces is ridiculous. Sure he's not a good 1-on-1 player in the League, but the only thing we can really say about Ace is that he mostly does OK against much inferior competition.

Ace is an 18 year old playing in the Big 10. How is that inferior competition?

Yeah, he's doing pretty well in college for a young college player.

Let's save the NBA player comparisons for when he's actually in the NBA. As said above, he will have to change his game in the league.

At some point we'll see who he is when he's facing dudes who are better than anyone he's ever seen in the NCAA.
