“He very, very easily passes the eye test. Good stroke for a guy his size. Great positional size, a matchup problem even at the NBA level... if your comparison is "the Diet Coke Kevin Durant," that says a lot. Even if he struggles next level, I could see his floor being something like 14 and 6. That sort of talent requires a very high pick. Didn't see enough to declare outright if he's an All-Star at the next level, but the potential is glaringly obvious, and I think he has a higher floor than most other All-Star potential guys in the draft.”

Of course, I’m quoting a post in which I’m saying what I think about prospects, and you’re quoting me discussing why teams who drafted other players above him shouldn’t throw their prospects in the bushes over a very small sample size. So, y’know, context matters.

I even said in the above post he should go top 4. But that was before his pre-draft physicals had red flags (and before his siblings also had their health fall apart). So, once again, context matters.

As I said in the post you keep quoting without context, he’s insanely talented and I hope he stays healthy. But you don’t quote any of those bits for some reason. Weird.

Anyhow. Here’s the part where you rant some reply about Duke players or wanting to shank me or any of the other weird, vaguely unhinged things you tend to say. I’ll let you have the final word. Enjoy!
