He hasn't even played.
nikka missed training camp and rarely played only on the coli could a player be trash after minimal play in one season.

I heard we invited him for a 2nd workout. If we draft him this draft will have been a complete let down.
He will be a scrub. I watched him and lavine closely all season. He put up numbers but he will get shutdown by real nba defenders
for the first two years I agree.. but you cannot deny he has a tangible NBA skill and that's his vision and handles...I believe he'll be a stretch 4 (mike Scott like role) in the L after he goes through 2 off seasons of NBA workout regiments cause honestly looks like he's never seen a weight in his life.. really reminds me of a Boris diaw clone.
prolly never a starter but since we run the spurs system I think we may be the best for for him..wouldn't say I'd be disappointed cause we could clearly use a player with his skillset.. could become a 12 5 5 player in buds offense
but I'd much rather have hood,Harris, lavine & young... I'd take him over Warren doe.
@tremonthustler1

You nailed it on the head breh. I would take all those guys over him.
He showed up to the combine with the highest body fat% at the combine and he pretty much got by on skill during his time at ucla. If he was being groomed to be a 4 and he was a good shooter I would consider him our diaw. Im thinking he wants to be a 3 and I cringe at the idea of him playing defense against melo, kd, or bron and he def wont be blowing by them on offense.
We were top 5 in assists so I dont think we really need a great passer, but rather more athleticism, defense, and 3pt shooting from the wings. Also, long term I dont think he would fit next to schroe because he's always looking to pass.

aka bx_representer
I would rank them as
Anderson
McDaniels
Young
Hood
The reason why I'd rank McDaniels now over Young is because McDaniels can play right away whereas Young is athletic, but he's so inconsistent at so many aspects of his game that you have to wait a while for him. What Young is right now is a blank canvas where it can molded into something great. McDaniels is someone that won't be amazing, but he can help a good team.
And @Loose time to pick
@houston911 you're free to make the selection too if you want.
He really reminds me of a Kendall Marshall skill-set and a blend of Trevor Ariza with shades of Magic Johnson.
In terms of his define skill-set, it's a lot like Marshall. Although Marshall can play at different paces while Slow Mo seems to play at a slower pace but doesn't hurt pace with his style. His shooting is like Ariza even if his defense is no where close. Ariza has good lateral quickness and Slow Mo has horrible lateral quickness. Both have the same measureables and both have potential or in Ariza case and wreck havoc in terms of team defense.
As far as Magic Johnson, he has the same type of ball handling and first step of Magic. Now Magic is much faster with the ball in his hands, can score in the post, and can play at any tempo. Not to mention, he's more talented in general. The fastest big man (over 6'7) player in the NBA history other than Lebron with the ball in his hands.
Overall, he will be a work in progress. I think a team need to place him in the right role and he needs to be in the right system as well. I see him as a high risk high reward type. For his grade (mid 1st). I think he might be a little over valued.
As for Otto Porter and Boris Diaw. Porter was a much better NBA prospect than Anderson is and to be frank, should be a solid player next year. The system the Wiz run isn't conducive to Porter's skill-set.
Diaw doesn't play like Anderson. I remember when Diaw first came to the NBA. The Hawks played him at PG to SF. He didn't have the ball handling for PG and he didn't move well without the ball in Atlanta and Atlanta didn't move the ball well so it didn't help matters. Diaw to me was a much better athlete than Anderson. Diaw was a much better defender and he had a better body type. Anderson's body type is kind of skinny fat and really could have Ariza frame with conditioning. He's a NBA SF to me while Diaw could play Forward in general. Diaw was more raw than Anderson but Anderson's transition to the NBA will be was tough regardless of where he lands.
I like T.J. Warren. A less quicker, better defending Reggie Lewis (R.I.P.)
I would rank em like this:
Hood
Anderson
Young
McDaniels
Hood is the most NBA ready of the bunch and translate ASAP to the NBA. He can come in a start at SG right now. I see him as a SG more than a SF.
Anderson is probably going to be the worst of the crew Day 1. But in due time, he could have the best numbers and impact.
The best shooter of the crew. Athlete. Great measureables. His rawness and BBIQ will hurt him for one to two years but if you can wait, the reward can be ample with this kid. A future top 5-10 SG talent.
McDaniels is the most improved player but his BBIQ. shooting, and ball handling needs serious work. If he puts the work in, he could be special but he really needs to work. An uptempo based team is his best bet.
