    We can call this a huge whiff. Could have had Tyrese. Amazing how many whiffs there are in the NBA draft.

      The level between college and the pros (in pretty much every sport) is massive. Being able to succeed with limited body construction against other people with similar limitations is a good sign, but professional sports are grown ass men, many of whom spend 5, 6 figures on assistance optimizing their bodies, and playing a much more advanced game with much less room for error.

      Draft picks inherently have to be projections of a pretty serious amount of future development just to be playable at all. You basically need a guy to double his capability or whatever to be relevant.

    French point guards are often struggling in the nba. I think it’s because they aren’t scorers, but they could be really good in Europe.
