Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
[quote=Yung D-Will]when he got the ball inside it looked like it was lights out for the other team lol[/quote]
?
When?
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
Checked out that video
First impression - wheres the crowd?
then he bricked a FT, got dominated in the post, set an illegal screen,
Based on this video he really is too skinny to play PF in the NBA
And those attitude comments in the draft review make me question him
I'll have to have a better look to form a solid opinion though
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
He kinda looks like Russell Crowe on that pic, no ? :lol

[QUOTE=G-train]?
When?[/QUOTE]
4:00-4:04
4:36-4:42 take it in strong and gets to the line
4:52-4:56 He slashes to the rim and finishes
5:53-5:56 Inside
1:16-1:22 great pass
6:03- 6:06 tip in
5:08-5:12 Knocks down mid range jumper
yEA YOU go search from 2-4 I'm to lazy for that
But he got to the freethrow line at will

He hits like 10 straight freethrows after that. And that was number 15 that set the screen wasn't it? He needs to bulk up i agree
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
Maybe number 15 set the screen, I dont know
It kind of makes me wonder who would take a risk on anoter tall, skinny Euro perimeter player after recent times
Its hard for a rookie to adjust, let alone a guy from another country who isnt physically ready to contribute
And I really cant overestimate how much I dont like those attitude comments, I'd like to know the basis for them
Wall seems legit, he is going to be good as a rookie, and eventually turn into a star
This guy seems a bit questionable, and he would need time to develop

It depends I don't know how much his time playing against team Usa will help him for his Nba play

Better quality[/QUOTE]
Ok, solid vid.
A couple of things...
*Guy is a legit 7'0 with length to match
*Has good hands. Easily finishes with either hand
*Has a pure stroke. Dude stroked a 3 like was nothing
*Seemed pretty auyomatic from the free throw line
*Certainly is a NBA threat right now in the post and off the catch and shoot
*Displayed passing skills from the post when he found the cutter baseline
*Has a dribble game off the bounce. Impressive
Now the few things I didn't really like...
*While skilled, he didnt always seem like the best player on the court. #15 was all over the court. Who is this guy?
*He has to finish stronger. Has good touch around the rim but I wanna see him punch half those layups
*Like his ability to dribble off the bounce, but where's the explosive firs step?
*Yung said he's a good man defender, but I didnt see it. In fact his help D was equally as bad
I watched on my cellphone, so I may have missed a few things. If I were a GM I'd really work this guy out multiple times against a variety of personnel. The skill is there but you have to wonder will his frame hold up at the NBA level. He's skinny as hell, but is he wire strong? Can he hold his position defending the post? These would have to answered pre-draft cause the guy is a 4 all the way. Not center (unless he bulls tremendously). Not a small forward. He's gotta be a power forward in this league.

Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
And PB don't forget his motivational and attitude problems.
And the dude just doesn't carry himself well. He looks slouched and weak.

I don't see the slouched part but he looks week because he is weak lol.
That's his main problem he needs to hit the gym
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
Too bad ISHers don't watch college ball so they could drool over Wesley Johnson. Not enough youtube vids out there for them to scout. You will be amazed.
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
Actually his game is tailor made for NBA ball...he likes having ball in his hands and is very comfortable playing 1 on 1, he should be doing well in US. The only thing he needs to omprove is his conditioning and bulk, but he's a hard worker and is doing fine now in italian club Treviso:rockon:
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
There's plenty more vids I just try to figure out what they're saying so it annoys me
Re: The International Prospect predicted to go number 4 in the draft
he definitely has the skill, but the mental aspect might not be there... also look at the guys he is playing against (eventho some might be bigger than college players, euro league competition isnt the same)
i say which ever team gets him will get a really good player, but they might have to wait for him to develop his game to the nba
