RavensTillIDie Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 17 minutes ago, 11sanchez11 said: from a person who has watched every second of collegiate action he has played against another team (including scrimmages and exhibition games) it's impressive how often he makes the right play on offense. When teams double him before he dribbles he always makes the right pass, he has made 3-4 passes on post entries with one hand where he jumps up to catch the ball and before he lands he hits a shooter right in the shooting pocket because the defender is coming to double or hedges too much, he made a couple of nice high low passes to our other 7-footer, he works well in the elbow against a zone defense. He is only averaging 1.7 TOs per game and it's not like he's catching a lot of lobs and getting wide open dunks. He works a lot from high and low post and makes things happen ala Aldridge. He's not some incredible passer but he does make the right play a high percentage of the time. Said it better than I ever could. Yeah, it's nothing fancy or eye-popping, but he just (seemingly) always makes the right play in the flow of the offense. Yeah, his defense certainly could use some work, but from what I've seen it looks to be more an issue of effort compared to any physical limitations. That you can coach that up, but the way he sees the court and plays on the offensive end, that simply can't be taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 for example, and none of those are the 4-5 plays I had in my mind when thinking of his passing abilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubs10 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The only thing I'd like to see more of from Ayton, is attacking close outs with a straight line dribble. Overall I'm obviously impressed but it seems like he always takes the jump shot or passes when he gets the ball at the elbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The top ~12 picks this year will definitely be better than last years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Trae Young is def ahead of Bamba and Sexton for me. Might get ahead of MPJ too, which would put him at #4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My top 10 is a little different than some of y'alls: Luka Doncic DeAndre Ayton Marvin Bagley III Michael Porter Jr. Jaren Jackson Jr. Kevin Knox Mohammad Bamba Trae Young Dzanan Musa Mikal Bridges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really wanted to see him in Carolina blue. It's so early though. Sometimes people have unrealistic expectations for incoming freshman.

Young is nice but I don't think he's athletic enough to thrive in the NBA as a lead guard. I know people will undoubtedly bring up Steph but he's not Steph. Don't think either are anything special tho. Great college players but I'm unsure about their NBA ceilings. EDIT - Actually, I lied. I'll go with Young simply because he's a better facilitator. Neither are all that athletic tbh and Sexton seems more like an undersized 2 than a 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
