11sanchez11 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 jabari shot 43% on twos this year. nobody drafted in the top 5 in the last ten years has shot under 45% on twos. (i think this only includes players who went to college) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 AJ Griffin will be the best player from this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should go to the G-League next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, he’s talented but he seems to be a good at a lot, great at nothing type player. He’s pigeonholed to the 4 spot, spotty shooter, decent playmaking and handles but nothing great, not overly athletic, not great on defense. Just trying to imagine what his eventually role in the league will be. I should add that he certainly can develop on all his weaknesses as we’ve seen with many players once they go to the league. A month later, and I see it with Paolo. I still have concerns but I severely underrated his passing/playmaking ability. He’s not just decent like I previously said, he’s actually pretty great. Especially for a four. Since the above post, he’s averaging 4.6 APG. A young guy with his scoring prowess, who’s a good and willing playmaker is a good base point to enter the league with. That’s what’s going to separate him from Bagley or Jabari Parker imo. Edited March 23, 2022 by TitanSlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 If I'm a team like the Pistons I want either Jaden Ivey or AJ Griffin to pair with Cade going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to have a super weird conditioning issue. I think Paolo's ceiling is a better, bigger Julius Randle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to 2000 there hasn't been a single player age 22+ that was selected in the lottery and went on to become an All-Star. And IIRC, Buddy Held is the only player to average 20+ in a single season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't true lol Kenyon Martin Yao Ming Caron Butler Dwyane Wade Brandon Roy Joakim Noah Damian Lillard All 22 years old their rookie seasons, all all-stars in their careers.

Typed in age 22 at time of draft on RealGM, my bad. So the only one drafted relatively recently is Dame, not a great sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray won't even be 22 at the time of the draft so I'm not sure why you typed that in. He doesn't turn 22 until August. It's not like he's played 3+ years of college and then had one explosive season. He's in year 2 and, for whatever reason, McCaffrey wouldn't play him alongside Luka Garza last year. Murray's brother will explode next year as well for the same reason. Fran McCaffrey is just a terrible coach. I'm not remotely worried about Murray as a pro. He's an elite athlete, he's got tools to be a defender with upside and he can flat out score. Edited March 23, 2022 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
