7/33 to start summer league [dang] that's rough. Even Trae Young didn't start this bad

He's a ball chucker ball hog wing who can't shoot and has  tunnel vision

100% never liked him, I think people got sucked in because he did well for Canada in 1 youth tournament and Nash talked him up (his godfather). He's like a Harden/Westbrook combination of awfulness.

I really don't see how he was a better prospect then Romeo Langford. Seems to have all of the same weakness Romeo was said to have.

I think he definitely benefited from playing alongside other elite prospects at Duke (where conversely it really hurt Reddish). His weaknesses were somewhat hidden because of how much attention Zion was able to draw.

I've always been dubious on how high his potential actually is. Always saw him as a clear step down from Morant and Zion

Not yet

But perhaps overhyped

Same goes for Zion and Deandre Hunter

I think Morant is going to be the real deal
