A Combination of Michael Jordan and Penny Hardaway

Watching his highlights, he looks just "solid" not spectacular to me.

His quickness at 6'6" is next level....

Honestly no idea, but he has all the hallmarks of being a good defender, good wingspan and great lateral quickness.

I'm not sure if he plays the 1 in the NBA though.

why is that? he's got good size, he can pass. if MCW can play the 1, why cant he?

 

[Poitier]

He does not have the same vision as MCW LOL

Most of the teams drafting would already have a PG, save for the Lakers and 1 or two others.


And his best international games have been when he's at the 2.

 

[Poitier]

He's a combination guard. His jumper is even uglier than MCW at this point and he still is learning how to read defenses and make simple passes that guys like Penny and MCW were born understanding..

He's the second most impressive player in this draft to me.


Wiggins is fourth or fifth in my eyes.

Don't like his game AT ALL.

I'm going to try and catch his game tonight, but I'm starting to agree. He has really shaky handles and that's going to hurt him on the next level, but defensively he looks great. I would still take him over Parker though and hope he improves his handles.

KD and Paul George both had crappy handles coming into the league, that's something that can be improved.

In my opinion only Embiid has a higher ceiling than Wiggins, there's only 3 guys in this draft that could be elite two way players, Exum, Embiid and Wiggins.

I think Smart could be great defensively, but I have a tough time believing he'll be elite on offense, where as that first step from Exum is insane and at his height if they play him at the 2 there won't be many guys that will be able to check him off the dribble.

Smart was 6'2" without shoes, and 6'4" (dude was rocking heels) with them.

Exum was 6'6" with shoes, similar wingspan but that little bit of extra height goes a long way to seeing over a defense and getting a clean look at the rim.

His handle isn't great but he's surprisingly actually pretty damn good at splitting the double when he gets a pick.
