[QUOTE="gt24, post: 780366, member: 538"] was about to hit "like" or "love" but that doesnt seem strong enough. this post hits the nail directly on the ****ing head. with emphasis on this part: The "issue" is there are a ton of guys both in college and stocked in the G League who have similar skills/athleticism. only thing i would add is that he is a "tweener" - he is 100% definitely not a 3/wing based on skills. so he has to be a stretch 4 as you mentioned. but he is small for an NBA stretch 4, even with his outstanding athleticism. 5-10 years ago i would say no chance. but so much "small ball" or "positionless" being played nowadays in the NBA that a second unit small ball 4-man he might be able to do. but only if his 3pt shooting solidifies. not hard to imagine him spending a couple years in the G-league trying to develop his game to become an NBA player in that role. the million dollar question (pun intended) in my mind is this: is he better off trying to develop those aspects of his game at GT or in the G-league??? at GT he is a focal point on a strong team in the ACC. in the G-league he is a young role player who risks getting limited minutes and being forced to play a career overseas. not the worst thing in the world, but maybe an additional year as an alpha-dog in the ACC is better for his development and increases his long-term odds of making it in the NBA as a second unit 4-man?
