– Explosive athlete with a 7-foot-3 wingspan, a relentless approach, and good instincts. He comes up with 50-50 balls by diving on the floor. He takes charges. He flies around and makes second and third efforts on single possessions. Heās everywhere.
– Versatile defender with the size, strength, and length to defend across perimeter positions. He possesses excellent fundamentals fighting through screens for a player his age, though his best value will come in a switching scheme. He doesnāt back down from a battle against a big, either.
– Menace in transition. He sprints the floor hard and always makes himself available for lobs. His handle is strong enough that he can steal the ball or rip down defensive boards and then bring it up himself.
– Heās enough of a shooter to warrant attention from the defense, and if they close out against him heās comfortable dribbling into a jumper or straight-line driving to the rim.
– When he attacks off the bounce, he gets low and displays good instincts for delivering lobs and kickout passes. He has feel for making the right play.
#Weaknesses
– His make-or-break skill is his shooting. He has good form, but has a below-average percentage from the line and from behind the arc going back to high school. Unless he starts hitting shots with greater regularity heāll cap out as a solid contributor but not much more.
– Gets out of control at times on drives to the basket, leading to avoidable turnovers, and on defense sometimes heāll get too antsy, leading to silly fouls.

Now Brad has turned to drafting 2k generic players. Great. Just great.

You know when you play a classic domination game in 2k and they don’t have rights to enough guys so there’s just some generic dudes on the bench?

Joe better work his shooting

This guy can jump out of the gym and looks like a menace on D. Love it.
GhostOfJiriWelsch
He plays hard and heāll play his role if it becomes available. Iām cool with it.
Plenty of guys I wanted before him but every year we fall in love with some late round guy and get mad that heās not drafted and they donāt become anything in the league. I remember Tyrell Terry being a point of contention on this sub š

That Derrick White pic has some serious competition next year

Is this a photo shoot from The Hills Have Eyes?

Love the pick a steal for the talent this late in draft. If you saw Arkansas tourney run could see the guys defense will translate immediately to nba he was locking people down. Was a highly ranked high school prospect too a lot of upside little raw on offense but long athletic and shown decent stroke.

As a hogs fan/student Iām so hyped for this

Looks like he’s a real Draymond prototype. Long arms, good on defense on and off ball, high motor, cannot shoot. How effective he is on offense kinda makes or breaks him.

Nobody let KG anywhere near this guy LOL

Dude was a huge reason the Hogs went deep into the tourney. He’s an elite defender.
His shooting left a lot to be desired, but he did improve at the season went on. I remember reading he shot 34.5% from 3 in the last 19 games of the season, compared to his 27.8% for the season. Think he could develop into an average shooter with some proper coaching.

His shooting form is decent.

This is his mug shot.
I love this pick, I was cool with us taking him or Jackson at 25 so getting 4 more picks and still getting him rocks
Dude has Alopecia. I’ve had it for 20 years myself. This is just how we look.
He looks like electro from Spider-Man 2
NoHo Hank is not to be messed with.
WPS fan here, heās solid. You guys got a good one!
I’m not sure why so many people have to make jokes on his appearance.. does it make you feel better about your own or something?
Worry about the beauty of someone’s heart & soul, not genetic factors of appearance that they have nothing to do with.
Guy just got drafted to our franchise and we welcome him with jokes on how he looks? Stay classy C’s fans.
Wtf. He shows up to media day with a pimple and what looks to be a post burn injury hairline
