Just curious, if anyone has been watching NCAA. He's been seeing very low minutes, doesn't start at times, and just looks lost... I would be absolutely happy if he fell down to the late lottery or even past it... He's a player that has huge amount of unlocked potential...

It's a veteran team with some good ones. Add Coby White and they are getting the minutes and touches. Little has shown flashes but still not consistent enough. I think he should stay another year and work on his jumper but he has the highest potential of anyone on that team.

Looks interesting. Sort of a blend of Jaylen Brown + Pascal Siakam.

I think he should too, but honestly, I think he would be the perfect player to bring in if he fell down past the lottery pick. (Can't see that happening, but crazier things have happened.

Meh.

I could see that. Although, Siakam has explosive athleticism.

EDIT:

Maybe a hot take. But if Nasir Little Jr., can ever reach his potential, I think out of everyone in his draft class, he could end up becoming the best player. He just needs to remain healthy, and improve his overall feel for the game. His shooting will come, but man oh man, if he can just get everything together when he gets drafted by the Celtics, that would just be perfect.  :angel: :P ::)

I seem to recall him eating Zion's lunch during the McDonald's game.  I know it is just an all star game, but the intensity level he showed really stuck out.

True. I didn't know the name until that game. After that, he was mocked as the 2nd overall pick, behind RJ Barrett. How times change and notice to all to not take too much stock into 2020 and 2021 mocks just yet, though there are soooo many talented kids coming soon.

North Carolina happened. Still pretty confident that Roy Williams doesn't develop upper-tier talent well. Every top recruit that goes there sits on the bench the first year, or their game is overall developed even if they do start.

That was the same game where I felt like Nasir would've been able to dominate and defend NBA caliber players.

At the time, Zion was top 7th pick projected, but his body was already NBA ready. Nasir is still rail thin, but he possesses otherworldly defensive instincts that I haven't seen in a college prospect in a while. His wingspan certainly helps, of course.

What a shame. I heard Williams has a penchant for not playing rookies. Little actually came out and said that he knew Williams was going to grind him hard, and he didn't expect it like this. But when media, and reporters alongside his father felt compelled to question William's decision. Little quickly defended him saying that it is on him to perform and exceed expectations, and pointed Coby Williams seeing minutes over him as proof that he needs to work harder.

Would love if we can snag him or Hachimura, or even Doumbouya. Regardless if we move them for AD or not
