Pretty cool that Aaron Scott is being thought of as a draftable player.
Someone laughed at me for saying he might be able to stick it the NBA in the Fordham game thread.
Think Aaron Nesmith from Pacers if he can hit the three consistently.
Vaccine from The Athletic already mentioned him as a prospect. It's definitely a thing. Trevor Ariza is an interesting comp
He won't stick in the NBA. I think he will have a good international career.
To be fair, I always said he'd be a better pro because he won't have the ability to cripple an offense by hogging the ball. I just would NEVER want him on a high major college team again. He is the opposite of Kadary Richmond when it comes to his teammates. I think he would ruin this year's team too if you swapped him with Kadary.
He's big, he can play vertical, he defends multiple spots, he is very sturdy for a kid his weight, and he can shoot. Outside of needing guys to pass him the ball for his jumpers, his game is almost completely independent of his teammates. He doesn't the ball in his hands at all to be effective. You have to love players like that.
Definitely. And if he plays with a high motor, high IQ and can take on the toughest defensive assignment, it's a worthy flier for a team in the second round. He fits the profile of guys in the NBA that last 10+ years.
Obviously too early to tell if any of this will/can/should happen, but I do think being with Kadary, Pitino and Pitino's system will be very helpful for him.
I’m busting balls but I’m pretty sure you laughed or said no chance in hell when someone suggested he make an nba team.
That was for him getting drafted. I said he couldn't get drafted if he lived in North Korea
With the expanded rosters, tanking, and G league dozens of guys who wouldn't have sniffed the NBA could have a cup of coffee in the NBA these days. The 76ers were playing Sampson at PG to tank during their "trust the process" years. Olivari is on the Lakers right now, which is insane.
I like all 3 on the court together better than keeping both Scott and Luis on the floor together approach. Plenty of minutes for both lineups, though.

That was me
He lost me at box out. We did none of that. We also really didn't press...token pressure. The switching was nice and I thought Zuby looked terrific on the perimeter defensively...he struggled gaining control when he recovered recklessly. That is a much easier fix.
