This is the kind of guy you want to have with a chip on his shoulder. He's going to kill it.

If the Blazers can swing a deal for another pick in the top half of the second round, they can get someone else who's going to be a contributor within three years. Lot of talent still out there.
 
hahaha what a steal Neil, now get us more 2nd rounder
 
I LOVE this pick and to say he can shoot it better then Turner -- is not a high bar to beat -- hell i bet half the people in this forum can shoot better then Turner - LOL
 
Oh boy, another SF who can't shoot! He's a physical specimen, which is nice, but I guess I'm just going to have to hope he's the rare bird who develops a shot after hitting the league.

STOMP
 
They are all saying he's the steal of the draft. And wearing red. I like that he has a chip. Wants to prove 24 teams wrong. I remember how Cliffy fell all the way to the second round and used it as motivation. Put him under Dame's wing, he'll be fine.

STANDING REACH8'8.5''
Explosive, highly regarded 3-and-D recruit who hasn’t shown much in college, but was a late bloomer in high school and history could repeat itself.

SHADES OF: Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, Stanley Johnson
PLUSES
  • Ideal body for positionless basketball with a thick, muscular frame, long arms, and explosive athleticism.
  • Switchable defender who can potentially lock down multiple positions due to his strength and raw quickness—but only if his fundamentals dramatically improve.
  • Stout defender against bigs and larger forwards due to length and strength; he’s hard to move with his strong base.
  • Good rebounder at the wing thanks to his athleticism.
  • Lob threat off cuts. He could also be used as a roller in the pick-and-roll due to his explosiveness and ability to absorb and finish through contact.
  • Comfortable attacking closeouts to get to the rim.
  • Shows flashes pulling up from short midrange. He’s also a good free throw shooter, which suggests he has long-term 3-point upside.
MINUSES
  • Flaky off-ball defender who loses track of his man due to ball-watching, fails to help, and has trouble navigating screens.
  • Gets caught out of position too often defending quicker players, which leads to blow-bys. He’s too much of a turnstile for a player with his physical profile and effort level.
  • Adding weight in college has allowed him to be a big for UNC, but it’s sapped him of the lateral quickness that made him an elite high school defender.
  • Looks puzzled on offense. He record-scratches the offense, pauses, settles for contested pull-ups, and dribbles into traffic instead of locating open teammates.
  • Lacks fluidity driving the ball. He has some crossovers and in-out dribble moves, but he’s stiff.
  • Struggles spot-up shooting. He has some bad misses, including air balls.
 
Dame is going to be in is ear - reminding him how nobody believed in him and now he gets to prove they are all wrong.
