Tyrese Proctor, who averaged 9/3/3 with 0.6 steals on 38% FG in __30 mpg__ as a freshman. What exactly does he project to be good at in the NBA? Scoring? Not on low volume 50% TS. Passing? Ok.
Defense? Guards with poor college steal rates rarely impact defense at the NBA level, as forcing turnovers at a higher than average rate is essential to actually being a great defensive guard in the NBA.
or..
You take the best 18 year old offensive player in Europe with the clear best stats since Luka Doncic. Someone who appears to have elite elite touch around the rim for a guard. His volume x efficiency on rim attempts as a guard is basically unmatched. Elite passer, 85% FT from the line. He straight up has potential to be a top 10 offensive player in the league. I really don't know how you could count that out at this point. Insane TS% for his age vs the competition he's going against.
Here's the thing with Topic. He's already proven he can score at a prodigious level against pro competition at a standstill in the half court. He's doing things as a young 18 year old that current NBA players who have played in this league at older ages could not do.
To put him this low, you are effectively betting that it won't translate.
Where does Zaccharie Risacher fit in on v2? Seems like he’s on the rise.
When is v2 out? Givony and a bunch of others have already published updated mock drafts.
No judah mintz?
I hate y’all for not showing love for the brazilian boys... Great list! 😂😅
What about Bobi Klintman? I feel he has shown significant improvement in the tape I’ve seen.
That's criminal having my man Nikola Djurisic that low!!
Tyrese Proctor over Nikola Topic...?

What if it does though?
