I get it.
His measurements were a bit disappointing (he wasn’t quite that big), but he has some real connector/maybe even point forward chops and he competes hard on both sides of the ball. The shot isn’t broken but it’s farther away than most. He would’ve rounded out our draft nicely.
the original point was that we need to be careful to take too much from what an 18 year old does in college. so regardless of how old they were when they came out, if they struggled with their efficiency when they were 18, it doesn't mean they still can't be really good and efficient nba players
I mean, all you gotta do is watch what kind of shots he was taking to get how poor the efficiency was. Combine that with the ankle injury absolutely tanking his performance (at the worst time) with age, that some of those crazy shots can just be weeded out, and he will just get better, and you can come to a damn rosy conclusion.
He is right there athletically with Don.
It was a little crazy to me that Sidy lasted so long. I though he looked like a guy who could come in and be part of a rotation right away.
Point guard in today's nba is a very loose term. In the past the pg dominated the ball and broke down the defense to create spacing. In this current era with built in spacing you don't need those same vision or passing chops. I view him in the same type of pg mold as Mitchell when he was asked to play that role.
