Fears & the NBA Draft Projections

Who do you guys see going first: Fears or trae johnson. I think both will be nba stars
I don’t know if Fears will be a star in the NBA. He has too many holes in his game right now. He doesn’t shoot it well enough and he can’t play a lick of defense. BUT he’s very young and NBA teams love that.

All depends on the ping pong balls and how the picks slice out. If it is team that needs a PG, I could see Jerimiah getting picked ahead on a team that doesn't need a wing. With that said, if it is best player available, it would make sense to pick Johnson first.

NBA teams project 3pt shooting based on FT% and he’s elite in that category. I think getting to work with NBA shooting coaches will be amazing for him.
 
just for some perspective on how hard it is to get drafted ..

Caleb Love (who I don't love as a player) ..

just finished his career with these to stat line games

against oregon 29 9 and 4 on 10-18 5-7 and 4-4 played 37 min

and against duke 35 4 and 1 on 11-21 5-11 and 8-9 played 40 min

he is not in the ESPN top 100 prospects ..

because he will be 24 before the NBA season starts .. and he is not a great shooter

You may be right, Boulder, but I can't help thinking age is not the biggest reason Love is not a top-100 prospect. Buddy Hield turned 24 shortly after his NBA career started, and he was selected #6 overall. Austin Reaves was probably not much younger, and he's developed far better than anyone could have reasonably predicted.

The not a good shooter part is there also.
