IMO, he's overhyped. He can shoot but he can't get his own shot. He can't dribble at all, no hands. He is very athletic and can play defense well.

I don't expect great things from him, just about average for a SG.

So a slightly more athletic JJ Redick? *pass* -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 08:14 14
- That's a pass? -- nm - David May 22, 08:42
- He's much better than Redick. His downfall will be his poor ball handling skills. He can't dribble drive, it gets stripped from him constantly. - Krusty May 22, 08:19

  - You want them to trade down. No great talent in this class. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 08:20 2
    - And the problem there is you need someone that wants to trade up. - Strongbad May 22, 08:23 1
      - True but as we know there are plently of brain dead GM's that you guys could trick into trading with you. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 22, 08:27
  - The more I look, the more I agree, this is not a very good year. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 08:18 7
    - I looked a mock this morning and saw a lot of interesting players in the 18-30 range - Strongbad May 22, 08:20 6
      - 1-10 are a toss of the dice. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 08:35
      - yeah, everythijng I've read says the top picks are shit but the best value is in the mid-range guys -- nm - Beaker May 22, 08:24 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 08:33
      - I wouldn't trust Noel either. Big men with injuries don't last long. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 08:21 2
