THT averaged 11.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 27 minutes per game. He was ranked as high as No. 20 on ESPN 100 draft rankings.
NBA teams like his 7-foot-1 wingspan and the fact that he doesn't turn 19 years old until November 25, making him the youngest college player to get drafted. per ESPN
Ya he was solid, I think he pretty often flashed nice passes. Not really combo guard level passing, but could make all the passes when he wanted to, and could playmake with some beautiful passes... But he was most prone to just ISO and jack up a step back or drive and shoot. He seems to have a nice feel when he does decide to be a very willing passer though
i like that his game is starting to take shape but I must say Im a bit disappointed they are not developing him into a defense-first type of player _________________ (bleep) Kawhi

imo.. guys with special offensive skill... why not just let them grow on that end.. Once he gets in better shape, and has better coaching, then the defensive focus and energy can come. For now he's a typical 18 year old in focus - on the offensive end of the court. Takes a special player imo to focus on defense at that age; and an even more special player to be a legit 2 way guy at that age
Just keep in mind that Kostas is averaging 18/9/1/1/1 in 25 minutes for the g-league, while looking like complete garbage while playing against real NBA players. Caruso dominated the G-league last year, as have many players who are barely role players in the NBA, if cutting it all.
THT looks nice, but the g-league is barely a step above the summer league. Best to temper expectations.
Neither of them were 18!!!
THT is 18!!! Still!
Even though I graduated high school at 17, now a days, blue chippers graduate aren't freshmen in school until 19.

I can't believe what Kobe was doing as a 17 year old in Summer League.

Caruso dominated last year? He was averaging 14 points per game on 26 percent shooting on 3 pointers at 25 yrs of age.
THT is averaging 18 ppg at 40 percent shooting at 18 yrs old. Big difference.

lol first thing I thought. Caruso was solid in G league but nowhere near dominate

He looks to be an amazing playmaker and scorer. If he becomes a good defender as well we have a future star
His defense is a bit like his offense - he makes an impact through his length/strength and innate instincts, but he can do too much as his decisionmaking remains underdeveloped. So he has a great foundation to improve upon as he gains experience.
The two-way initiator upside at his age with the freaky length/strength combo is why I thought he should've been a surefire first round pick. Thankfully other NBA teams were confused by his body type and still developing jumpshot. _________________ Under New Management
