43. "Bates will just go streaks of inefficiency." In response to In response to 40
I don't think he'll be as good as college RJ Barrett (especially as a passer), but he will have some of RJ's college deficiencies. I bet Bates will take more shots than Duren for no reason. I imagine he won't be terribly efficient from 3. I think he'll turn the ball over driving to the hoop in half court. And I think his awareness playing team defense will likely be limited. Bates definitely also has a bit of off-court assholery and big time nosy dad baggage with him.
Duren will be very exciting, though. Better prospect than Wiseman.
