True, but he does if he wants to be a 1 which is his direct route and highest ceiling to the nba. If he can show he can shoot and play the 1, that’s first round pick with potential for lottery. NBA scouts are going to see him at the 3 and compare him to Colby.. 2nd round pick with upside. Which is fine if that’s the route he wants to go, but I don’t fault him if he wants to show what he can do at the 1 and get all the money he possibly can.
Deaaron fox didn’t show he could shoot in college at all, but he had point guard skills and got drafted fifth. He’s 3 inches shorter than des.Last edited by Xville; 04-13-2024 at 01:10 PM.

Perhaps we could amplify your point by looking at what might be kind of a flipside to all of this: existing players wanting talent to be infused in order to have a better shot at the F4 and a NC. So, we end up with a legitimate five who we are able to pay a sufficiently handsome number. Perhaps both Fremantle and HUNTER see that as a path beyond the S16.

We are all entitled to our opinions, so here comes mine with respect to Dez: I will be gobsmacked if he leaves Xavier.

I’m not totally sure I agree on the 2nd point, I think there’s loads of talent in Europe that, if placed on the right team, would be very good in the NBA too. If you don’t get drafted, it’s a hard road to get back to the NBA.
Still, we kinda agree on his path. I don’t see loads of athleticism from des (speed, spurtability) to be an NBA PG. I don’t see great ball handling skills, excellent vision, or passing ability that screams nba PG. And maybe he has it and wants to find somewhere to show it off. His size and strength would work if he became a great shooter, though.
And for the record, I want him back because it he does add the outside shot to go with his great mismatch his strength and size presents- he will be a great player. If his shot only got slightly better, he’s a talented player that we can replace in the portal just fine.
