Are there any future NBA draft picks on our team including incoming Frosh?
Guerrier, Goodine and Carey have upside imo.
Not ready to write off Carey, especially after the Oregon and Uconn showings. Not everyone’s a one and done.Carey - No shot.
Goodine - Need to see him in games before I judge.
Guerrier - Most likely of the 3, but not a lottery pick I don’t think.
Talent has dropped way off over past 5-7 years. NBA teams agree.

Carey could 100% play himself into a draft pick, but needs a jump shot
Needs to really work on his handle and ability to create. I have my doubts, but he will get the opportunity to step up to the plate this yearNobody thinks Hughes has a shot? Or, fairly, do we need to see him in more of an Alpha role to decide?

I think getting on a roster in the NBA at small forward is really tough. You need to be an exceptional player to even get a look.Nobody thinks Hughes has a shot? Or, fairly, do we need to see him in more of an Alpha role to decide?
Nice analysis. I hope he shows more this year. Like pretty much everybody on the team last year, he showed flashes (and exceptional range, cough-Duke-cough!), but would disappear for stretches both in a game and for several games in a row. I hope he thrives rather than wilts under the increased light and scrutiny of being our de facto leader. I guess we shall see.I think getting on a roster in the NBA at small forward is really tough.

I like Elijah and think he is a fine college player. But I don't see elite athletic ability when I watch him play. There are a lot of holes in his game. He isn't a great leaper, he isn't physical, he can't drive well, he has a really slow release on his jumper, can't rebound at all, hasn't shown great judgement with his shot selection, etc. He isn't even in great shape.
IMHO, there is no way he can cover small forwards in the NBA. Too weak and soft.
IMHO, there is no way he can cover shooting guards in the NBA. Too slow and sluggish.
Again, I am not saying he is a bad athlete. He is a very good athlete. But when compared to NBA players, that is a really high bar. One I don't think he meets. At least not so far.
Right now, I don't see any sure fire NBA players on the roster. I agree that Guerrier is probably the most likely one to get there. Some others have the raw athletic ability to make it but a lot of development is needed.
Guerrier and Hughes.
Longshot Buddy.
Carey - No shot.
Goodine - Need to see him in games before I judge.

Buddy lol. We got some real gems on this board.
Jumpshots don’t fall from trees. Look at Ben Simmons.
Carey has athleticism but his decision making and feel for the game are sub par. That also doesn’t change much usually.
Or JJ Reddick.
Shooting gets drafted. Look at Kyle Guy.
