you know Tony's a HOFer right? a taller Tony Parker is pretty much a top 5 player in the league.

He got his rocks off against nonconference weak opponents. From conference play onward he shot 33% from 3 including missing his last 10 from downtown. If you include the 2 good teams he played nonconference (Duke and Missouri) he only shot 31% from 3 in games that meant anything.He shot 38% from 3, that is a skill and generally speaking very few freak athletes hit the league with any semblance of a jumper, especially 2 guards. Who was the last SG on the same level athletically that shot that kind of percentage from 3?
The closest comparison would be Terrence Ross, and LaVine has a better handle than him
Is 33% supposed to be bad for someone that supposedly has no skill?
He should have been in the mid 20s the way you're describing him.And lets be real breh, how many 18-19 year olds are going to put up any type of decent numbers coming off the bench in College?
I'm talking playstyle, not by projection

Big difference between 31-33% and 38%.
He was 4th in minutes per game. The only 2 on the team that got huge minutes were Adams and Anderson (the 2 best players). Besides, who's the last guy to become a star after riding the bench in college? The closest thing to that is Dion Waiters and on a good team he'd come off the bench there. That's why a year as a starter woulda been good for him.
Yeah there's a big difference, however a guy with no skill shouldn't finish the year @ 38%, regardless of how he got there.
Why should he stay another year when starting wasn't a guarantee? He's better off getting a defined position in the league, no more of that trying to play PG shyt, and working on his game with a clear role in mind. I think his path will be similar to Alec Burks, slow development but obvious talent.
He does have skills, he's raw with no real position, but the fact is he does have a handle, one that was good enough for him to toy with the idea of being a PG. That will help separate him from all the 2s that can't even dribble...

Unless Alford didn't wanna make the tourney there was no way he wasn't gonna start. LaVine needing to start wasn't as big of a need since they had Adams and Anderson to lean on
Maybe, maybe not, he obviously didn't like how Alford handled things.
I think he's one of the better 2 guard prospects in the draft, that level of athleticism + height + handle from the 2 spot is pretty rare right now.

The few times I saw Levine I thought he had crazy potential but was just raw as fukk. I still just remember him breaking out that crazy ass windmill. Before that had no idea he could get up like that. I think he definitely has game changing potential going forward.
He can't get all the way to rim consistently cause he's 181lbs
He does have a handle, especially if you compare it to some of the other SG prospects, he needs to add weight though. Is it advanced, no, but the SG position right now has a bunch of dudes that struggle to even dribble.

I have doubts he can add more muscle, though. He has that Kevin Martin build.
