I can't say I'm much of a fan.

No doubting he has ability, but his decision making leaves a lot to be desired. He doesn't seem to be someone who gets it.
His draft stock is plummeting I want him in Memphis with Ja. He's my favorite player in the class but I also was never a fan of him going to kentucky that team is terribly put together.

Who on their team do they have to consistently make the 3?
Kawhi
PG
Kennard
Ibaka
Morris.

They've actually got one of the better shooting corps in the league.

But that's beside the point - no team in the league can just make the 3 consistently if they don't keep utilizing it during games. Teams didn't just get better at shooting the 3 with a click of the fingers; they kept prioritizing it, increased the volume, and over time got better. Why do y'all treat the 3 as some voodoo ass shyt? It's a jumpshot, just like the midrange is a jumpshot. It requires the same level of practice and mechanics/motion. The only real difference is, one is worth more than the other, which is why teams have figured out shooting 3s instead of midrange shots = more productive offense.

The Clippers offense will only be left behind if they prioritize that shot over 3s.

For reference, the worst shooting 3-point team last season was more efficient on those shots than the best shooting midrange team on those shots. Go figure.

Bruh's decision making is horrendous. They play him at the 1 and he doesn't even look to pass, he can barely dribble without getting called for travels, selfish as hell and seems like he plays to only get his and he's way too erratic.

Wouldn't draft him unless I had a late first.

BJ Boston is another guy I'm not high on.
