Malik Pope...top 5 talent?

[GratefulCs]

Ainge doesn't like raw athletes...he'll take some slow unathletic senior guy with "high bbiq".

The James Young pick disagrees with your statement.

it's a joke guys 

Not a very good one, considering he's taken both the unathletic senior with high bbiq AND raw younger players



...



Easy joke to miss

Pope was again showed flashes of his potential against Duke. I was impressed with his outside shot and especially his length. At one point he was standing next to Amile Jefferson and the height/length different was very noticeable. Jefferson was measured in 2011 and was 6'9 in shoes with 7' wingspan. Not that the visual is always very accurate but my guess is pope is around 6'10 with 7'2/7'3 wingspan.

Early indications are that he is leaning to stay but the article below definitely leaves the window open for a jump to the NBA.

Looks like Malik Pope has been playing well for the last month or so.
