Larrier was the better prospect (going by mock drafts) when he was a high flying slasher who could shoot it a bit. The ACL tear has derailed his leaping ability (hopefully that’s temporary), so it’s hard to really judge it now.
Small sample size, but Larrier looked a lot better last year and then lost a year of development. His handle is bad, but he wouldn’t be the only SF prospect with that trait. Right now, yes it’s a simple choice, Adams all day.
No.
Yes, I said it. Away from the Boneyard, most scouts would say the same thing. Hate to be brutally honest with you, but Jalen is not a NBA prospect. Has no shot at getting drafted this year, and maybe, but still highly unlikely, he would go mid to late second next year.
Prove it.
Absolutely agree, yet with the possible except of last night's game, have we seen 38 minutes of dominant play? That's what I was trying to say.
See, that's the thing, anyone can be on the court for 38 minutes. And any decent athlete can play full out for 19 and 75% for 19. He has NEVER been in good enough shape to play full out for 38 minutes. People mock the husky run results but our best conditioned competitors would never have allowed themselves to do that poorly. Pride, competitiveness, strength and conditioning!
I meant meaningless in the sense of having zero predictive value. If you were handicapping the odds of him being here next season, I don't think what he said last night would move the needle at all in either direction.
Unless a possible transfer rule change on the table goes in effect in off-season that allows a transfer without sitting a year if coach leaves or fired.
pls make him leave
His shooting will improve if he gets the ball in better position and takes better shots. Right now he has the ball in his hands most of the time. I agree if he improves his shooting he has an NBA career. Returning next year was the correct choice.
