It's impossible to have reasonable conversations with you. There is no balance. If you don't like him as a prospect, that's fine. But don't twist the significant strengths and evidence that he shows potential. He might bust. There is evidence to support that. He might also be a star, there is evidence to support that.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore about obvious evidence that supports that he will be a successful NBA player.
I'd contend there's no evidence that he might be a star. Not being disingenuous. I literally don't see any evidence that he could be an NBA star.
I watched the highlights from
every Israeli league game this year. You can find them under the Maccabi channel on Youtube in chronological order. Watched every highlight/scouting video available. Even watched some full games.
Of course, he's absent from many of the highlight videos, but the more telling clips are the ones where he isn't featured. He is REALLY a project. Displays almost zero situational awareness. He's constantly playing with his back to the ball or running way under the hoop for rebounds, or even out of bounds sometimes. He cuts without looking for the ball. He whiffs on every screen he sets. He is never in position to rebound. He overhelps sometimes, then fails to help when he should. He overcommits and can't change direction quickly. He has no tools for creating space down low. He is neutralized by anyone with an iota of strength. He has a weak, narrow base which is unlikely to change. He's not a quick 2nd leaper. Falls asleep on both ends of the floor. Makes decisions 1-2 seconds late. No post game to speak of. No elbow/ mid range game. He does not have a good first step, contrary to some of these scouting reports.
He has a nice stroke and there's some 3 and D potential, but there is zero chance of this kid being a star.
