I think Fears might be like the Tyrese Maxey of this draft. He's one of the "if he shoots better" guys where a lot of things would come together for him. His FT% suggests it will happen.

He's incredibly young and playing really well in a tough conference. I dont know how you cant have him high at the moment.
The 3pt% doesnt concern me too much given he's a very good FT shooter and the shot looks fine.
Reminder that VJ Edgecombe measured out at last year's Nike Hoop Summit at 6'3" (w/o shoes), 185 lbs, with a 6'5" wingspan. If that's what he looks like at this year's Combine, then his physical comp would be like a Monta Ellis with a couple more inches of length. I have a hard time seeing him go 3rd if he measures that small and isn't perceived to have true lead-guard skills.
Danny Wolf is now shooting 59.6% from the FT line. It's just really hard to fully buy into him when the shooting is so questionable.
I could be a little lower on him because the live games I've watched have been bad. His highs have been really impressive though, so I get the potential.
Just looking at his game logs though and he's been vey inconsistent. He's shooting 40%fg% and 25% 3pt% in conference play and his team has been horrible. He's also not big or a good defender or an amazing passer or anything else that helps to raise his floor.
Reminder that those were incorrect measurements that they updated Of course we can just wait until the combine, but I find it funny how people so often cite these incorrect numbers. Measurements matter, but sometimes I get the impression that they matter more to winning internet arguments than they do on the court.
The numbers were replaced with measurements in shoes. These initial numbers were not shown to be incorrect.
Shoes, no shoes does not make a difference in the wingspan. Anyways....I don't think it really matters if he's a half inch shorter or taller than expected. I care about how he plays basketball and it's completely different that Ellis. Agonizing over miniscule details is pointless.

He's a good fit anywhere tbh. Never seen a prospect so well rounded in years.
His analysis was that New Orleans doesnt care about basketball (Saints), Washington sucks, and Charlotte sucks (as franchises). It sounded like cuz white Utah fits well.
