He was projected as #24 through early 2nd round. Tore up the combines.
From Flint, Mi., a city known to produce some serious ballers.

I mean. He has real tangible potential as a shooter, handler, mobile defender.
Starter potential. Love the pick

Wow. From an eyeball test, he looks like a right handed ben simmons. Nice steal at 27!

You are. He shot lights out at the combine scrimmage, and at our workout
I mean, anyone can light it up at a combine. I'm just looking at his 3 years of data.

Combine scrimmage specifically, holds weight - Nance was great at it two years ago. And he shot it well at our workout. Has a nice stroke, the FO obviously buys his shooting ability

I hope i'm wrong but i agree.
Combines mean nothing, people watch the game tape.
inconsistant, not that quick.

Looks quick to me in transition, love a big that can take it coast to coast. Should be a solid player

The metrics aren't great on him but he sure passes the eye test. Gives me a poor man's Jayson Tatum vibe. Really smooth combo forward with a nice handle and shooting potential.

Word. McBasketball on Twitter isn't a fan. But watching highlights he looks clearly skilled. _________________ Austin Reaves

Hope this pick isn't going to the Pacers. Didn't realize he was from Flint but now that I do I love it. Being from Flint myself I know the attitude players from the Flint/Detroit/Saginaw area play with. With that I can guarantee he plays with aggression and won't be easily intimidated at the NBA level even when playing a bench role.

One thing I noticed watching the highlights: can finish his left hand, great shot fake, good high post passer. Lots to like.
