So I know that Richie Saunders is like 90 years old, but it feels like he’ll get on a two way and then quickly get converted and signed to a multi year-team friendly contract. He might even skip the two way. I think he can play right away.

He has a hitch in his shot that unless fixed is going to hurt him at the next level. I have watched him closely and his shooting motion.

When he shoots in rhythm his is almost automatic but when he sets and gets into his normal shooting motion it is like he flicks the ball at the end. Almost whike coming down on his jump.


It is weird but what puzzles me is he doesn't always shoot that way. Sometimes it is a great fluid shot.
 
If Jazz pick came down to AJ or Peterson I might lean toward AJ
AJ seems to have the Karl Malone warrior attitude Never takes a play off
Peterson seems injury prone, moody, takes plays and games off, has a posse who dictates his attitude etc

I dont think the guy who has been shooting 42% from 3 the last two years is going to tinker too much on his shot.

One thing is for sure with him. If he doesn't make it, it won't be for lack of effort.

Dude plays extremely hard on both ends. Great motor. Tough.

He has the intangibles. Ok size. Some skills. Great elevation on his jumper. He should be able to for into a role on an NBA team imo.

Will be interesting to follow for sure.

I've only watched highlights of the games. But it seems he struggles against decent teams and puts up massive numbers against nobody teams. Is that true?

He seems to have the physical tools for the NBA and is obviously young. I'm very curious how he does when the play good teams and the games matter.

Nope, not true.
BYU has played one of the hardest schedules in the country and he hasn't struggled in a game yet.

He leads the nation in scoring and is shooting like 67% true shooting percentage. (58% from the field)

Leading the nation in scoring on amazing efficiency against a tough schedule.

31 minutes. 23.1 points (on 13.6 attempts per game), 7.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals.

We have yet to see him struggle in a game in his career so far.

The best team AJ has played this season is against #4 ranked UConn on the road.
He scored 25 points that game on 8-14 shooting. I believe that is his second highest scoring game of the year.
