Yep. Bilal is a bit bigger and markedly longer. I think there are shades of Exum and shades of a young Wiggins. Bilal plays above the rim more than Exum.

I think three boner pills might send me to the hostipal.

Bilal is uninjured and not at all timid, things that were big issues for Exum. Also doesn't look like he is dying after 5 minutes of physical exertion.
That is a great combination of athleticism, defense and potential
And he’s actually explosive. Exum was shockingly poor at getting up.
I wouldn't hate it.
Been saying this for a month…
Wonder if Cissoko would end up playing the point in this universe.

This. Exum could get anywhere he wanted on the court, but had no vertical explosion. It was something I noticed from his pre NBA tape and one of the reasons I didn't want him on the Jazz. I'm pretty sure it's the main reason he seemed timid is because he didn't have an off the bounce jumper and couldn't do anything at the rim once he got there, so what was he supposed to do but pass the ball or catch and shoot.
I wonder though whether his timidness is just his personality?

Sir Cy is an honorable colleague. I tip my hat to him for his indelible contributions.
Bilal/Wallace/Whitehead would be a pretty good draft. 3 guys in my top 20, but no one in my top 10.
JHS to Toronto at 13 is getting pretty popular among mock drafts.
Wonder if he is there top target, or if they would go Bilal if he gets to them.
Seems like JHS's floor might be the Lakers at 17, his ceiling might be just ahead of Toronto if a team wants to trade up to get him. I dont think he is going to be a choice for Utah at 9, just my gut feeling but I think they are valuing the longer/bigger forwards like Hendricks/Walker/Bilal more. I would like to say his floor would be Utah at 16 though, as I do think they would jump on him and the Keyonte/NSJ stuff is fake.

The Journey of Jalen Hood-Schifino
Jalen Hood-Schifino had his draft stock swing wildly up and down throughout his strange journey of a season, but his Green Room invite indicates that NBA teams are interested in his two-way skill set.

JHS is going to be the dream playoff point guard. Switchable, intense defender who can guard 1-3 and probably play up to 4's and not get dump trucked on like Aaron Gordon was doing to certain Miami guards.
He struggles badly with Jarace Walker too.If we draft Bilal, Locke will have an aneurysm trying to pronounce his name the first few weeks. He's been the one he struggles with the most this year
