Just a fair warning for you guys. Copeland is very good and most likely coming here. I will say this though, he will have FAR MORE good plays than bad. But he’s one of those players where he will have a play and you are asking yourself “what the hell is he doing out there?” Then the very next play he’ll do something and you’ll be asking yourself “how the hell did he just do that?” That is Quadir Copeland to a tee. That being said he will flourish here and fits our system almost to a tee
 
the year at prep school will be good for Copeland but I think fans expectations of him are exaggerated for what he can do his freshman year. He is not a 5* player and I think he has been reported to be a 3* by some services, but I may be wrong on that.

This kid is has a better chance to make the NBA than JJ. His upside is huge.

I mean lots of stuff gets said on here but this one was funny. How could anyone at this stage possibly make this claim?

It's hard to make the league as a smaller guard. JJ is highly skilled but I also think he is close to his ceiling. I think that Copeland is just getting started, has more room to and will improve his game. Plus he is physically superior.

This is the 2021 NBA we are talking about. There's tons of guards that play like JJ in the association.

You think so??

I see JJ as a prototype NBA 2g, he's got that size/game already. In the league, scoring will be what he needs to do along with being a good, not great defender at the 2.

I think Quadir has a lot of potential to get there, but I haven't really seen his D and at 6'6 he'll have a tougher time guarding the small PGs but if his D is solid and he can guard the SG, that would help. Also, he looks like he'll need to work on his shooting. In the NBA it will boil down to defense and shooting for Quadir, the best PG and SG in the league are scorers and passers with a few being good defenders as well.

Agree with this. I think we can sign both. I also think Justin Taylor is a small forward based on the games I have watched him play.

OK, but - we might still have Benny.
And we’ll have Kamari.
And JT.
And maybe somebody else (Bunch?)

There are only so many minutes to go around.

I know y’all are trying to talk yourselves into a scenario where we get BOTH of Quadir & JJ, but also given that JGIII will also (most likely) still be here too -
I’m just not seeing how.

I am not counting on Benny being here 2 years. I’ve seen that movie before.

Based on Lands ability to rebound I think he’s a 3 or 4, Taylor a 2 or 3, JJ a 2, and Copeland a 1.
