OP once again trying to play captain obvious to disguise his lack of basketball knowledge. We know for a fact he doesn’t watch college or high school basketball, so he’s just trying to fit in :mjlol:

Clearly this kid is a lottery pick (for now) with a very advanced game. The issue is that it may be too advanced. He is a pro, but he may not have much of a ceiling left. We’ve seen very elite shot makers in high school (Emoni Bates, Jaden Hardy) just not translate in college or the pros. Not to say that will be the case, but I only take so much from these games.

AJ by contrast isn’t as skilled and doesn’t shoot it as well but is more athletic and still has room to grow in his game.

Both can be good pros but it’s always hard to tell when kids are just so much more physically advanced and dominant than their opponents in high school. Same issue I have with Cam Boozer.

Lonzo Ball
Josh Jackson
Malik Newman
Harry Giles
Eric Paschall

You said these players were going to be busts in the NBA when they were in HS/college:

Jayson Tatum
Jaylen Brown
LaMelo Ball (you literally said he wouldn't even make the league)
De'Aaron Fox
Donovan Mitchell
Bam Adebayo

Tyrese Haliburton
Cade Cunningham.

This is some next level hedging your bets.

"This kid is a lottery pick (for now)"
"He has a very advanced game, but the issue is that it may be too advanced"
"He is a pro, but may not have much ceiling left"
"We've seen elite shot makers in HS not translate to the pros, but not saying that will be the case for him"
"He can be a good pro, but it's hard to tell when he's more advanced that his opponents in HS".


You're not saying a cotdamn thing here. You're just shamelessly playing both sides in a contradictory manner, all because you're too gun shy because your analysis always blows up in your face.

He’s nice, but not #1 pick material. He’s an undersized guard and not particularly explosive.
Peterson ain't #1 pick material either. AJ got that on lock. I think Acuff is better than Peterson. We'll see soon

Acuff isn’t in his tier. Fairly obvious off the tape when comparing the two.

It’s Dybantsa, Peterson and Boozer.

Seen Peterson play 2 games at Prolific and 2 on the circuit and Acuff play at IMG on ESPN. It’s a season everybody doesn’t mention him in the top 3.
