Judah's a good athlete. Definitely not elite. He does have a knack for getting into the lane a ton, but I think it's mostly due to good athleticism and good salesmanship with his moves. He's very smart about how to manipulate his defender to get a step on them.I actually didn’t think my take on him not being an elite athlete was controversial. If he was an elite athlete, he’d be in the NBA.
He’s not. And not only that, his other attributes like dribbling and vision aren’t elite either.
He’s a very talented college player. No doubt. And he should be rewarded with an all conference nod. But we’re not talking a guy that’s putting us as a lock for a top four NCAAT seed.
Again, I said he should have tried to model his game after Jeff Teague. That was supposed to be a compliment. But Judah isn’t close to Jeff Teague. Jeff Teague made a jump between frosh and soon year and then had an heckuva nba career.
Givony had Judah as the 18th best PG prospect. He has him last pick of the 2025 draft now and that is tenuous at best.
Judah would 100% be gone to the nba if he was an elite athlete.
I think it's understandable for some to think he's an elite athlete after some of the guards that we've watched play for us in recent years.
