The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Gotta develop a floater. Becoming a smarter off ball player on both ends too. REALLY gotta cut down on those unnecessary TOs, but he has the potential to be a generational floor general at least

I just think it’s amazing he will be the understudy behind the guy who’s the complete version of him on O. Has the dribble craftiness, ball touch, PnR creativity, essentially everything Trae has except the shooting and the arsenal around the rim. Those things are what separates dude from being a career second unit guard to a potential star in his own right

Rondo is generational at facilitating, yes lol
just cause you ain’t the best at your position doesn’t mean you aren’t amongst the best at a certain skill
Cooper is a freakish talent offensively. He does something that I wish Trae could do right now. His shooting really has to improve. That said, he's a special talent. The sky is the limit for Rife but he needs development before anyone just gives him the keys to their team. He's a better defender than I thought he was watching the Auburn film.
Coop is superior at playmaking, slashing, self-creation, finishing, and he's far more aggressive with the rock. McBride is nice too. I like both players. I get the feeling some Knick fans are in their feelings for what reason, Idk. The answer to OP question is obvious. Of course, he's a steal based on where he was taken but overall, he had a first-round grade and was my #7 overall prospect. So he isn't like what I call a true steal. Him, Butler, McBride, and Sengun should have been drafted much higher than they were.McBride is better than him
he can shoot better from 3 and midrange and can play legit defense
Cooper is a nice passer tho
It has nothing to do with you personally but the Op stays in our threads trying to hype Sharife over our McBride.

no one said that. you said generational floor general.
all the generational floor generals never come to the league as a turnover machine at every level they've played at(chris paul for example)
the boy averaging like 6 turnovers a game right now lol
trae young is an exception to me cause his oklahoma team was straight dog shyt outside of him and he still put up better numbers than sharife across the board including efficiency.
nah, it aint even that serious
I wish sharife went to another team where he wont be a backup on for the next 3 years....before atlanta moves him
when the season comes around i dont see him playing more than 15 minutes a game...which as a point guard you need the reps to become great and I dont see him reaching his ceiling behind trae young. I guess steel sharpens steel though.
their skillsets overlap too much and trae is so much better and he's the max superstar. barring catastrophic injury that isnt the most ideal place for him to get reps
That's not cool. McBride's been putting in mad work.
I don't think it's fair to compare him directly to Trae Young. I've always said, Cooper's comp is Allen Iverson as a freshman. Around the same age, stylistically, they live around the paint, and they play much bigger than they are. AI just has more potential as a shooter off the dribble plus his athletic ability while Cooper has the playmaking adv and FT shooting adv. Both are special freshmen who struggled mightily with their jumper in college.
He would be more than lucky to see 15 MPG this upcoming year. Delon Wright is our backup PG. Lou is our 3rd string PG. Atlanta signed him to a two-way deal. The plan is that we can develop him and his jump shot. Because Lou and Delon will likely be in Atlanta for only one year so we got a year to turn Cooper into a backup PG. I doubt he plays more than 20 games in 2021-22 for the Hawks.
Rief went to the best situation, no one is going to hand him the keys to their offense at this stage. He only could get that shot as a top 5 pick. Otherwise, he was bound to fall due to it. Atlanta is the right situation as we can develop him within a system that already fits his style of play.

allen iverson was literally the quickest player in the nba for a decade. sharife has some explosiveness but he's not allen iverson. not by a long shot. he is a better natural playmaker for others though.
as far as explosion, ja morant is closer to whatever allen iverson was at that age
if sharife was 6'5 he would have went top 10. his current skillset doesnt overwhelm his stature.
not to compare him to trae, but you need extremely high bbiq and skills to get drafted where trae did at that size....sharife shouldnt have fell that far but he fell for a few reasons
