Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I would LOVE to see the footage of the Lawson vert attempts...


You're telling me after multiple attempts his highest was 26"? just sounds too ridiculous....


11% bodyfat too... With a vertical like that you'd almost expect this to be 14-17%

I have no idea why someone who liked Royce O'Neale would be a fan of Keldon Johnson.

Because Keldon Johnson does the things Royce does, but better. He's more athletic, shoots better, has a floater game, and plays hard-nosed defense like Royce. So if you like Royce, you should love Keldon.

Nah, he is not near that hard-nosed a defender. The rest is maybe he has a small advantage if anything, but honestly some of it probably goes Royce's way (Keldon's shooting is way oversold, man was a 70% FT shooter).

His role will be very similar as a 3D wing. He can play at the 2 or the 3. He can guard 2 - 4. He can slash and score at the rim. He can knock down open shots. He can move the ball. He's a better athlete. You're drafting him to play that role as a better version of Royce.

You know this based on Keldon playing in the NBA or are you just talking out of your *** again?

Royce is a better athlete. Keldon is too below the rim for my liking. Especially in traffic. He also isn't very quick laterally. He plays with effort though.
 
Keldon reminds me of someone and I can't quite put my finger on who. It's definitely not Royce though.
 
Guys, I like Royce as much as the next guy, but the dude averaged 5 ppg during the regular season, just like the year prior. And while he shot 39% on 3s this year, it was based on cherry picking 2 attempts per game. He averaged 10 ppg against Houston in the playoffs and stood out because the Jazz only have 2 or 3 players who can go to the rim and make an open look. Also, Houston didn't give a **** about guarding him. Lets not act like guys who are more talented aren't better prospects or won't be more successful in the league. As it stands, it took Royce 3 years just to become the rotation player he is.

This was Royce's 2nd season...
 
And as it stands, it was a dumb comp because they play nothing alike.

Kelton isn't that talented. He just a regular prospect. He has a lot to prove on the defensive end to be mentioned in the same sentence as Royce.

KCP. He isnt the defensive workhorse that Royce is.

I don't feel like that is the right comp either. Keldon is a more physical player, gives more effort on defense and in general, and he takes better shots. KCP is a better pure shooter but chucks too much for his own good. His defense and effort have always been suspect.

Well i mean to sit here and compare 19 year old Keldon Johnson to soon to be 26 year old Royce O'Neale, and for no one to bring up age or experience.....

I'd have to say this seems to be a exercise in talking out of your ***, from all parties involved..
