NYRaider Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 I love @CWood21's Darius Garland / D'Angelo Russell comparison. Russell's a huge PG with great vision and playmaking skills, he's like 6'5" 200 and a 6'10" WS. Garland's an undersized two guard that struggled as a playmaker against some of the worst competition in college basketball and is like 6'2" 175 with a 6'5" WS.

I'm usually harder on Tar Heels but Coby White is my favorite Tar Heel since Ed Cota. Kid will be good. No doubt in my mind. I worry about his handle and his willingness to pass.

He averaged nearly 6 assists per 40 minutes and he's still adjusting to the position. He was more of a scoring/combo guard before he came to UNC. Roy gave him the keys to the offense as a true freshman PG, he never does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's not flawless, for sure, but you're going to take some of that negative in a trade off for his ability to score at all levels and in any way. I think he'll pass enough. 4.1 assists and a 24.4% ast%. Not really ballhoggish to me. That's going from less than 2 assists per game in high school to 4 at a higher level of competition.

As I said, I didn't like the comparison. I honestly don't think there's a good comp there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Also I think Garland moves really well off the ball. Which is one area guys like Lillard, CJ, etc aren't that good at. And part of what makes Curry and Klay so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Is Nassir Little worthy of a top 5 pick? He seems like a stud defender and somebody that has a Kawhi Leonard type of upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not reach his ceiling but you'll never convince me he won't have, at the very least, a top bench scorer type role while playing legit defense. His floor is solid.

Well, if he's a ball-stopper that floor lowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
