Not an all-star since he won't be the scorer that is generally required, but an awesome 3-6 rotation player on a good team for 10+ years. Great feel for the game. Makes teammates better. Plays good, switchable defense. Better version of what Lonzo brings to the table.B Sox I know you're high on Haliburton, whats your projection for him as a player?
Won't bust. Other than maybe Okongwu, I'm more sure of him being a good pro than anyone else in the draft.
He's going to have several players drafted ahead of him because of potential, and he'll end up having a better career than the majority of them.

Lonzo just had the intangibles and BBIQ that is so rare. I don't see that with Haliburton.
George Hill perhaps?

Yeah I believe he does have those same intangibles and IQ. I think he’s a better shooter and craftier in the paint now than Lonzo is in year 3.
Similar to Lonzo, he’s going to struggle scoring off the dribble because he lacks sauce and plays upright. Does everything else well though.

He’s the one with the most to gain during this time. If he plays well in these games, I think he could play himself into the top 3-4.

Imo the top 6 is set and he’s def in it

I'd take the chance on him in the top 5 over someone like Obi.

I'll never not think of this when Deni's name comes up now:

Yep - don’t want us taking Obi

Legit one of the funnier things I've read.I'll never not think of this when Deni's name comes up now:

If you can score from anywhere on the court and play make for others at that age, then skys the limit for the kid.

He can’t shoot free throws either.

The type of draft it is
Melo shooting like 24% from 3 (not sure of the distance?)
Edwards shooting 29% from 3
Obi's defense

I'd like to see Deni land on Cleveland. He can be the "connective tissue" to all their guards and bigs.

I’m big on Deni. Would be more hyped to see Charlotte some how get him than most players I’ve seen slated for them.

So doesnt that suppose to tell me he can’t shoot at all?
- Sep 18, 2003

its questions about him being a shooter plus with him shooting 50% from the foul line so yeah concerns are there

Draft express profile on him was that he was a shooter when he was playing in the under 16’s and under 18’s. His shot had a lot more arc then

FWIW, that game today was apparently against the worst team in the league. Word is they have some much tougher competition coming up. Will be interesting to see how he performs.

Good to note. It’s tough to contextualize a lot of this. Sample sizes and everything else
