1. His stock is based off playing high school kids (and even at his listed age, he was older than most of them.) Ben McLemore is 23; you don't think that, if went back to high school right now, he wouldn't look like a god prospect?

2. If someone said, Brandon Ingram wasn't 19, he was 23, wouldn't that make a huge difference since he wouldn't be filling out much anymore? If he's 23, Maker's frame isn't adding as much bulk or strength as people had hoped would happen if he was a teenager.

3. He's a guy who needs to: work on his shot, his low post game, his awareness, his hands, and his rebounding. And Lord knows where he is defensively against grown men. If you're 19, that's acceptable. If you're 23, most people would hope you'd have less to work on. How many people are saying, "But Ben McLemore is only 23! He still has time to learn what the hell to do on a basketball court!"

He's got an interesting skillset and was in a draft where 10 - 30 were fairly even. It's not a bad pick. But if he's a two to three year project, like most prep-to-pro players were, you'd hope he was turning 21 - 22 when he figured it out and wasn't already 25 - 26.
