Fears & the NBA Draft Projections

[hoopsaustin]

Btw -- Jalon Moore with a 39" max vert and one of the fastest 3/4 court sprint times ... but slow agility drills and mediocre shooting. He'll make the G League. Will be interesting to see if he can defend or handle well enough to make a roster.

Looks like g league pays better than it used to but I still think he does better overseas. I don't see the nba for Moore at all.

Who would you guys have picked between Doolittle or Moore for 1 season at ou? I'd pick doolittle (so long as hes going to study hall)

Doo by a huge margin. Moore is more athletic, Doo was a much better player.

Moore was much better player. Anyone who knows much about hoops can see that. Boomer

Based on.. eyeball test?

I never felt like Moore was under control or confident that he could get what he wanted. A little uncoordinated.

I’d choose doo

Their senior seasons: Doo 15.8 pts, 9 boards, 37.5 percent from 3, 22.6 PER.

Moore: 16.1, 6.8 boards, 38.8 from 3,18.6 PER.

Doo also with a massive advantage in both offense and defense win shares, and in assists.

Doolittle was the better overall player. He could handle, get his own shot, great rebounder, and defender the 3-5. He had some weaknesses but overall a more impactful player than Moore. Not as good an NBA prospect...

Los is coming back to Houston. They were going to be a top 5 team regardless but likely preseason number 1 with this decision.

This is SUPER random, and I don’t want to start a new thread so I’ll throw it in here. This hair stylist did a video with Bijan Cortes, who says he’s going to LA to workout for the clippers. I guess he’s going to try to carve out a pro career. I’m not sure what league he’s good enough to play in, don’t think he could even make the euro league/ NBL, but maybe somewhere in China?

There has been lots of talk here about pro players people think Fears reminds them of. This is an article that makes comps for all the top draft prospects.

Wow, read that entire article and not sure I agree or see the high end or low end comparisons on any of the picks. It’s like the author tried to take the lost obscure name, on most of them, he could pick to compare with each pick.

I mean he compared Dylan Harper to Jaylen Brunson. Cooper Flagg to Andre Iguodala?? Murray-Boyles to Al Holford?? Cmon man.

I appreciate him not going full hyperbole and comparing any of the picks to GOATs, but outside of that, not sure about that article at all.
