2744112, If you think he can be a good NBA shooter, I get it. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Jul-29-21 05:03 PM
He's definitely one of the better shot creators in the draft. And I can definitely see his mediocre shooting numbers as being largely contextual. I'm still concerned about the defense and the passing... but again, he had to do *everything* last year for a team that still ended up pretty good. So I get the sales pitch. If he can shoot 3s at an above-average clip, I think he can be an NBA starting 2 guard. If they're drafting him all the way at 6... then clearly OKC thinks that, lol. I'm a bit more skeptical than most, but I do understand the appeal.
(And I had him at 8 on my mock, because Orlando really needs consistent shot creators, so his primary skill definitely merits being drafted higher than I'd personally put him on my big board.)
