Joel Ayayi

[SirHypeAlot]

I am definitely on board for this guy

 

[upstater]

If you pronounce his name the way I do in my head, he would be a fun addition to broadcasts.

But, to pronounce it that way, he'd have to miss a lot of crazy shots.

Kid has unbelievable jets and a pretty heavy crossover. Like him a lot , just like everyone else ITT.

 

[CTBasketball]

I read somewhere he shies away from contact, has a weak handle, and isn't tough.

Also went to the line 0 times in 73 minutes at some tournament.

Just curious what y'all are thinking:

Would you prefer Blake Harris or Joel ayayi if you could have your ideal?

I still don't see anywhere other than follow by Chillious that were even recruiting this kid. Wondering if the hype here is overblown

Probably Harris. Although I don't necessarily think it's one or the other. Ayayi just turned 17. Could very easily wait a year to go to college if he ever goes

Probably ayayi. He is taller and seems to have more upside than Harris.

I see you are enjoying your newfound role of Mr. Negative.

Not sure the kid can jump over a deck of cards, but I agree he looks smooth. He reminded me distinctly of somebody as I was watching but I can't think of who. Almost seems like there's a little Justin Jackson in his game but Jackson is 6'8.

I had a bunch of immediate comparisons in my head when I saw the video too, but like you I couldn't place who, or what combination of players... But his game is familiar for sure.

Blake Harris without a doubt. I don't like Ayayi at all, he would be a bust.

As long as he doesn't have a helicopter parent those aren't necessarily bad things. Too much too soon?

Aye Yai Yai Yai. Reminds me of a guy named John Valby and Toad's Place back in the early 80s

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Looks like Zags will be after this kid also after they win the title. Just read the mention is an article. He is very Zaggy.

 

[navery12]

Wouldn't be shocked if he came over to play in college next year. Didn't Svi Mychailuk (sp?) come over at 17 too?

Yes he did, but I think Svi was MUCH further ahead of this kid

 

[Huskyforlife]

He was and still couldn't contribute in a limited role until this year. This kid might contribute when he's an upperclassman, but hopefully we have higher priorities.

My point was more I wouldn't mind him redshirting as the 13th scholarship next year if we can get 2 other solid guys who can contribute next year

I call it how I see it!

I'll lighten up once Gonzaga wins.

I'm pretty sure Tony Parker was barely 17 when he came to the NBA from France. Full 5 o'clock shadow though.

Took a trip to Gonzaga and will visit Georgia Tech.

These are the type of guys Few loves. I just read a good article on his recruiting philosophy the other day. It was a quick good read. It dealt with the whole self entitlement concept with today's players etc ...what he likes about euros.
