Brooklyn doesnt have any history of success developing stars/being a stable franchise. I do think Chicago would be the ideal location for the league in terms of market, but out of the bottom 5 teams I would say Utah is the most stable and his best chance of reaching his super-star potential. Basically the same reasoning behind the conspiracy theory of the league wanting Wemby in San Antonio.
Him being American changes a lot. He will get a lot more love/hype because of it. If he's really good, he could get anointed early by certain groups that will piss off other certain groups.
Would love to see him slide and snag him with the T-Wolves pick assuming we don’t take Kasparas with our own pick
his defense has gone from an extremely young kid who at least cares defensively to one of the best defensive one and done wings i've seen in the last 10 years. his defense, both on ball and help (not quite as good with help defense as on ball, but still very good) is stellar. and he just plays hard in general. he of course has his warts, but there is something about a kid with those physical and athletic characteristics who plays hard all the time on both ends of the floor, that i'm okay to bet on overcoming those weaknesses.
His shot has betrayed him. Not to add to the form debate but the form does look good and when I have watched they aren't bad misses... usually online but just short or just long. I think its more promising than like Giddy and he seems more athletic. He had a couple great lefty finishes last game. It looks like he will end up end of the lotto maybe now and I'd be happy to make that bet there. Right now if things don't change convincingly I think I am likely writing him off for consideration for our best pick (unless we sink to like 8th).
Its fine to consider, but not more important than other indicators like some portray.
I was thinking the same thing. Form is ok but his misses are bad. They are straight just either short or long. I think adding some muscles to his legs would help him considerably.
