Exactly. You have no clue.

Ace just dropped 37 with an 82% TS without Harper.

RJ Barrett

Ace shoots 3s 10% better than RJ did in college.
[QUOTE=90sgoat;14973463]RJ Barrett[/QUOTE]
No. RJ took his fair share of 3s in college but he was best as a slasher/finisher.
Still looks a lot like RJ Barrett.
I watched that clip and it's obvious he is a black hole, iso specialist.
If you want to be kind, you can compare to Melo.
Actually that is a good comparison except he is skinnier, but all these zoomers are lanky and weak.

Try actually watching a game. Then you won't sound so ridiculous.

You don't see the Melo, iso, stop play, jab step, shoot?
[QUOTE=90sgoat;14973547]You don't see the Melo, iso, stop play, jab step, shoot?[/QUOTE]
No. Melo was known for his strength and a quick first step. Ace is known for neither. Melo used to bully guys all the time.
Ace is known for for shooting all kinds of jumpers, including movement 3s off the catch ala Klay. Melo not so much.
Ace is also a good shot blocker and lob threat. Moves well off the ball.

Be honest. How many games have you watched of Ace Bailey? You talk like someone who is going off solely on stats and the highlight you saw? You are looking for any thing that supports what conclusion you drew up in your head from the stats you read online. It’s ok to say I haven’t watched this kid play a full game. And proceed to ask questions what you don’t know or are curious about to people who have. What’s hard about that? Lose the pride. You don’t know everything about everyone. No one does.
Just got done watching the game. The first half was the show. After 5:30 of play Rutgers had only 4 pts and Ace hadn't taken a shot. Then he just went off.
He scored 24 in the half and didn't even play the last 2 minutes so he scored 24 in about 12 minutes of game time.
He hit a couple of nice jump hooks. Haven't seen that much from him this season, if at all.
Nice to see him hitting his foul shots. He had the yips at the line earlier in the season. He's made 23 of his last 25 at the line.

Bruh, I don't try to be right at all, I'm trying to make wild conclusions from very little because it's fun if I get it right.
Ace is playing like the demon version of Dirk right now. These are big man shooter faceup buckets. The shot release point is almost unblockable, the release is pure, and the footwork into jumpers is elite.
People want to throw out Durant comps, but he had more guard in his game.
I remember when unc vs Duke were fun rivalries to watch. And then we get this…
