He’s got fantastic size and length for a 2-3 and a pure shot that has true nba 3 point depth. If he can expand to utilize some dribble drive skills he’s going to be a late 1 early 2 in 2 years

Yep played great in front of 20 NBA scouts today. I’m sure they’ll keep an eye on him throughout the season. Might catch a few more looks in Charleston or MSG vs Indiana

That’s up to him. He has the sizebut needs to be more aggressive.

No. He does have some hops actually but probably not enough quickness. That said, he could have a long and very successful career overseas. He’s perfect for the European game.

I think he has Europe written all over him. Give him some spacing and he will be a star.

He’s like Griffey on a bad shooting day, or Daniels if he was less athletic. 0 for 2.

Though I still think Giffey would be a good role player in any team at any level...

We've had a long list of capable NBA players based on potential, size and/or skills who had a chance of NBA, most recently Jalen. Problem is we never regularly get to see the hundreds of other players out there equally as good.

Its the separation (from peers), work ethic/determination and fortunes that dictate the final result with all things being equal (which they usually are).

Polleys foot speed and quickness is more slow 3/4 positionally. His lack of rebounding would prevent him IMO from playing nba. Perfect euro guy though

If you really want to know why he won’t make it, think about Daniel Hamilton. Better ball handler, vastly better passer, better rebounder, better shooter overall if not better from 3, maybe 1-2 inches shorter. Overall, a much, much better basketball player who doesn’t really have a steady NBA job.

A statement that literally can't be unproven. Until rosters are finalized.

Well at least this time he didn't post that UConn is going undefeated the rest of the season on the way to the National Championship.
Wait. What? You mean they're not?
Oh, DARN.

Skill set seems to be there for a 3 and D type player at the next level but the killer instinct doesn't seem to be there. His length would lead you to believe he should rebound better and block a few shots but it doesn't happen enough.
