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 aren't freshmen in school until 19.
I can't believe what Kobe was doing as a 17 year old in Summer League.
Ballin at 17
Of course Kobe had the experience of playing against pros before SL because of Mr. Jellybean himself, his dad, Joe.
I suppose that depends on what we mean by miss. In many of those draft cases there turned out to be better players available, though some of that heinsight may actually be a player development issue.
I just hope the people fawning over Wagner aren't the same ones who wanted to get rid of Kuzma. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points."
He reminds me a lot of Dion Waiters. Skillset + body + passing...
pretty much as direct of a comp as there can be imo.
in this vid you'll see: first play Waiters looks to swing and is stuck and he's like "oh that's right I'm a skilled 1v1 guy naturally" and attacks out of triple threat, THT attacks out of triple threat often.
Then you see a nice chubby man crossover; long arm finish.
Getting trapped cuz he's slow but eeking out the right pass over the top with long arms for an assist. Then run a guy over in transition but it's not a charge cuz there was a skill move. Some solid assists.. Inconsistent but really capable defender.
Settles for off the dribble 3s too much.. inconsistent shooter year to year..

Nice comp. Also reminds me of Eric Gordon. _________________ It was reminiscent of one of those Most Interesting Man in the World advertisements: "I don't always shoot 6-for-28 from the field, but when I do, I become the youngest player in league history to score 28,000 career points."
