Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4781008, member: 1674"] I feel kinda the opposite. He’s gonna put up numbers for sure but I think he’s more De’Aaron Fox than the prime Ja/Rose comps he gets all the time. Still a good player but maybe not super impactful. I don’t really dig that one of the things everyone loves the most about him is that he’s this dog that will change the mentality of the team with his competitiveness when in reality, he was coasting and sitting out of games constantly. Seems to love the mid range jumper too much too; didn’t get to the rim as often as you’d expect and flat out didn’t shoot it well from the perimeter. But perhaps NBA coaching and the competitiveness we haven’t really seen will get him to play a more valuable style of basketball in the pros. We’ll see. Turning out to be a Fox level player obviously is still pretty good but I don’t agree with the notion that he’s a #1 overall pick that just happened to be in the same draft as Wemby. [/QUOTE]
