Jevon Carter, Elie Okobo, Brandon McCoy and recently converted to the Isaac Bonga camp
My favourite has to be Carter. Plays incredibly hard on the defensive end, and plays the right way offensively. Think he's underrated, and will be like if TJ McConnell had a jumpshot
I’ve read that he’s a little slow - maybe not Greg Monroe level, but likely to have a real problem switching into wings or playing the pick and roll. Also, not much of an outside game. If so, not a great match for the Cs. Do you hear something more promising?
Of course, they said Tatum didn’t have 3-point range and would have a hard time getting his shot off because he lacked athleticism...
I haven't read that, but from watching him (caught around 15 Duke games) I don't really see that all. He is definitely a big body, but his mobility is surprisingly good. Plus, he averaged 2 blocks and nearly a steal per game, so his defence is pretty good.
In regard to his range, he actually hit 19 of 46 three point shots. Obviously not numbers that blow you away, but he clearly doesn't hesitate from range if he shoots over 1 a game. Coupled with his 74% mark from the FT line and I trust that he will be a good shooter.
I believe that if Bagley weren't there there'd be way more hype over Carter Jr.
But yeah, maybe scouts just hate Duke guys that can't throw down windmill dunks
