He's an elite shooter, but I'm not sure of he offers enough anywhere else in his game to get drafted

He is not an elite shooter.

Last year he shot like 37% as a 6'5" guy in high school who was getting wide-open and cherry-picking threes all the time. He's had a good run in Lithuania but it's still an easy shorter line and most of the guys defending him are weary from digging coal all day. That does not translate to NBA-elite shooting ability. He's got Lonzo's ability with better form and worse athleticism.

Uh, yeah, yeah it does :dahell:

Especially since over there they don't have the shortened 3 point line. In college its usually harder to project who will be an elite shooter because of it. Ingram shot 40% from 3 in college and struggled to replicate that in the NBA even when wide open because the line is further away.

Say what you want about gelo but you know dude is gonna run to the 3 point line, spot up and knock down a shot. All that other shyt aint translatable tho.
What is the level of completion over there? MarShon Brooks is averaging 25+ overseas but couldn’t get burn in the league. Just because a dude can shoot overseas doesn’t mean he can shoot in the league.
