Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think either guy is sure thing or even close to that. But of all the skills each guy possesses, the only one we know of nba level is Romeos defense. And I’ll be honest, I think nesmiths defense is atrocious. His lateral quickness is enes kanter level. It may make him unplayable. Summer league guys were going at him.
In terms of offense, nesmith obviously has more potential. But I’m not sure actually a good offensive player in the nba. He needs to be a 40% shooter to have a chance, and I’m concerned about him missing wide open shots, and in that last game, he had some god awful misses. Misses you don’t see in a pure shooter. Not counting him out but not a sure thing. And I don’t see anything else he can contribute on offense.
Oddly, Romeo like a week younger too.
