He was able to hit a couple of threes, but yeah his jumper looks weird. Looks like he shoots from the side of his head. He reminds me of a much more aggressive Nic Batum. His athleticism and ball handling is levels above Nic Batum though.

Both him and Zion are definite starters in the league though. Zion is clearly a 4. He's undersized, but he's so strong. He looked better shooting the ball than RJ did too :wow:


his set shot from the corner looked decent,some of those fadeaways were asscheeks but i think those shots were forced because hes playing at home he wanted to be MJ lol.....Alot of those shots he took 3rd quarter you wont see him take during the season...thats why you cant analyze the shyt too hard cuz they was clearly treating this game like a practice...

After Anthony Bennett and Wiggins I can’t put too much faith in Canadian prospects becoming NBA superstars

He looks solid though.

But I wouldn’t take him over Zion as an NBA talent

He’s 100 percent different personality wise. Dude is an insane competitor. He willed Team Canada over US in the U-17 games

Everywhere...You never there.
What exactly do you expect to change in a few months? This team can not shoot. Your best player, RJ, took 30 shots to get 34 points against some scrubs. For context, here are the shot attempts for every 30 point game Bagley put up last year: 19, 20, 17, 14, 21, and 23. You're fooling yourself if you think what we saw last night doesn't cause a little concern moving forward, especially in conference play. Can't wait to see this dribble drive, your turn/my turn, bully ball offense against Virginia's pack line defense. And most of all, I can't wait to see them try to match those hard to earn 2's with UNC's three point shooting trio of Williams, Luke, and Cam. I saw enough to know that Dook is gonna get the doors blown off of them by UNC.

Has the “Calipari struggle in half court” Kentucky teams written all over them.



Another paper Final 4 lock team for Duke, but we know how the story has been ending :mjlol:

Need to be getting them tourney ready from the jump in terms of half court discipline ... those lock down D mid major squads ain’t biting on none of that high screen dribble drive fukk shyt. :ufdup:


It’s a new day :ufdup:

RJ Barrett has high bust potential like his country mate Wiggins

Zion has a chance to break the Ball Is Life curse. Anyone they’ve co-signed hard has been trash but Zion may be the one


Nah hes got a high motor that Wiggins never had....He wants the ball in his hands with the game on the line.Hes not afraid of banging.

Bron got at least 6 more years left on his tank. Not at the level we been seeing as of late but im saying a couple of years of 20ppg, 6rpg, 6ast towards the end. We probably will see Bron and Bronny in the same game at some point.

Bron son ain’t making the nba :mindblown:

I dont see the Mason comps either...Only thing in common with mason is hes a lefty with handle
His ball handling, passing, defensive versatility, being left handed, stocky box frame, identical height and similar wingspan, shooting limitation and wide elbow placement on jumper.

That’s all Mason.
