I believe in his shot, even if the percentage isn’t there now.
The play making really surprised me. He has a really great feel for the game and angles.
He has some “freak” potential in him and I would take that gamble.

He moves and reacts exceptionally well on defense. He has some plays that look like Kirilenko, where he comes out of nowhere and intercepts a pass with perfect timing.

I like him, but I think I like Carter Bryant and Rasheer Fleming more. He’s up there with my top hopeful targets with the 2nd pick.
He’s a young AF 18 too, just behind Flagg as the youngest in the class right?
Fitting as he will be the 2nd best player behind Flagg….
I think Essengue will go in the lottery.

I don’t necessarily disagree. I just wouldn’t use a top 5 pick on him, and I think it’s more reasonable for the Jazz to move up slightly for a guy like Bryant or Fleming (or Demin.)
I watched some Cashiggy videos on Essengue. My first reaction is….dunks. Wow so many dunks. I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating by saying like 75% or more of his baskets in those games are dunks. Dunks and free throws galore. That is both good and bad. Shot looked fine, but the percentages are what they are.
As an athlete, looks pretty good. Wouldn’t say he’s guard like, but he’s quicker and more explosive than your normal big or larger wing. And he needs that because he is really skinny.
Will definitely need to add some weight. Doesn’t have a great frame to add weight imo, but he is the second youngest player in the draft. My first impression is that he’s kind of like a very skinny, less athletic Aaron Gordon coming out of Arizona. You like the physical tools, seems to have some skill + IQ, can’t shoot right now.

I don’t know if it’s just the twitter algorithm or what, but I’ve seeing so much awful “stats analysis” going on. I’m a numbers guy, but I think Barttovik and other sites have somehow lowered the quality of discussion and analysis. With great power comes great responsibility.
Or maybe that’s just a self report that I’m dumb and the algorithm feeds me other dumb people lol.
