What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

I like Kuzma but the hype is becoming a little too much. He had one good shooting game at the combine. He's still only #44 on DX top-100 players.

I see exactly what Cy is seeing with Kuzma. The problem is that the idea of him right now is much better than the reality of him. He does some things that players in the top 10 can't do. His movement is incredibly smooth for his size. His shot is quick and comes out of his hand seamlessly... it looks like it should be going in. He seems to have good feel and good passing and can even playmake a bit.

The problem is... we've seen this before, haven't we? Smooth, but not explosive athlete, whose shot looks good but doesn't fall, and is bad on D? I'm not sure how much I believe in the good-looking shot to become a good shot. Just like with Lyles, his whole game depends on it. If he can't hit it, he's out of the rotation very quickly.
