He really knows how to score. Not sure what else he can do, as I've not watched him, but his numbers are great.

Few Marquette guys are doing well in the NBA, so maybe he's got what it takes
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

This guy looks really smooth. I'm not sure if he's a target for the Celtics, but some team should probably take a chance on him.

Good stuff.

Another midget that will go in the second round is Carsen Edwards and he can fill it up as well. Not as strong as IT but he is stocky and strong. Can take the hit and 1 it.

Looks alright. One thing I notice right away from the highlights is his inability to turn the corner and beat his defender. That is a huge difference between Thomas and him, and probably what made Thomas so special in the first place.

Love Howard's game... Literally his ability to hit tough shots, and nail 3's is pretty impressive.

Was going to say this. He doesn't have the super agility/body control that Thomas possessed, along with his ability to turn the corner by angling his body differently or changing speeds/direction. Howard has near to perfect offensive game, and his floater has become almost impossible to block/deadly. But with a small frame/stature, Isaiah Thomas was able to break records on records, but with his hip injury, he's no longer receiving contracts anywhere near the money he was looking for.
