I've seen him play in person. He's better than you'd think but he's not great or anything. Bench player on a decent D1 squad. He'd show out in a gym but would look mad average in college. His ball handling is way too slow to really play with a D league talent.

I doubt he'd make D1, NAIA back up PG

I'm going with the idea if he legit focused on basketball. Like his full potential taps out at D1 bench player.

Anythings possible,just from the way he plays currently I dont see D1 at all,I've seen dudes way better than him not even make D1

He was out there looking like a young iverson :ohhh:


What do you mean did he ever play ball? Everyone plays some sports to some degree. You dont need to have gone through any form of organized ball to have skills, man.

Look, you can go to playgrounds all over the world and find players to put together and give some undersized NBA teams fits if not outright beat them. Notice i said undersized because thats where the NBA excels. Bigger players with skills whereas random playgrounds typically have skills and no size o size and no skills

Yeah but random playground guys don't have NEAR the skill it takes to play in the NBA. The difference in skill between a good streetballer and an NBA player is so drastic it shouldn't even be considered for a comparison.

There are playgroung players who are more skilled than NBA guys. I know because i played against one NBA player before and out of the 10 players playing the pick up game he was not top 3. His only advantage was he had the size to go with SOME skills. Whereas the guys he was playing with either had skills and lacked size or had more size and lacked skills.

THe player im talkig about: Raja Bell

I've played with some NBA players mixed with some playground players too. And in every one of my experiences, I see the NBA player half-assing it out there while the playground dudes are playing like it's game 7 of the finals. From the naked eye someone may think "damn dude looking good against the NBA player," but generally, it's obvious they're trying their best to show out. NBA player doesn't have any reason to display their skills like that in a random gym, especially if they're still active in the league.
