Judah Mintz to test NBA Draft waters

Does the fact he was invited to the G League combine vs the NBA combine say anything about his potential? To me it indicates no better than late second round.
 
This draft just seems really crowded and deep.
I’m not sure he returns, but next year appears better for him, albeit he’d be up against Starling and possibly others.

Now how much of MCW being drafted 11th had to do with his tourney play vs combine? (And others too). Carmelo is the shining example of potential translating into leadership, but he still would have been mid 1st round, worst.
 
bottom line missing the tourney is gonna ding your draft position. nobody moves up sitting home.
 
He was advised by scouts/others during and shortly after the season he’d benefit from another year of college.

However, we all know what we have in Judah and know that he may well end up being a top 5 performer at the combine when he gets cookin.

Im rooting for him to kill the combine. This is the opportunity he wanted. He’s an NBA talent, it’ll come down to what he hears in the next couple weeks and how that readjusts the scales. I think he’s got what it takes and then some.

The why was he “advised by scouts/others during and shortly after the season he’d benefit from another year of college”?

Develop a mid range and perimeter game etc.

Stuff imo he already has but our limited 2022 team didnt put him in great positions to showcase.

Potential there but very good - I don’t think the current evidence supports that.

free throw shooting percentage is a traditional indicator of repeatable and clean mechanics. Judah was 18th in the ACC with 75% and he shot nearly 40% from three from January onward. I think that evidence supports he can be a good enough shooter.

Top 5 performer? He better hope he’s not near Scoot Henderson on the floor at any point.

I'd be surprised if Scoot does much at the Combine anyways, but there will be better athletes than Judah there for sure.

Not sure they can opt out of much anymore there. Believe they have to do everything now.
 
Was this posted? Judah's highlights. Not sure I see him coming back for year 2 after watching it. Not bad for a skinny freshman. We can only hope.

Yeah they need to send Randle for some loose change and maybe see if they can get something for RJ too.

In all seriousness though- while his numbers were better this year over previous- he is better off a 6th man somewhere.

Have to agree. Randall and RJ seem like good roll players, but they didn't have the perimeter talent to compete at the semifinal level. Heat had shooters all over the court. This morning I watched highlights of the last LA v Warriors game ... the offensive firepower is unreal. Even DiVicenzo, Thompson and Curry can't keep up. Can the Knicks get Reaves? Or poach Robinson or Herro from the Heat? Those are the pieces (6-6 to 6-8 3pt aces) they need, not a smallish guard who's not a deadeye shooter.
