He plays too timid.

Re: NBA Draft 2019

I would go Zion Morant and Barrett as my top 3 in this draft.

I don't know what you all are looking at regarding Coby White, but look at the difference with him on the court vs Woods. Without Coby there is no National Title hope! Coby has virtually every skill set to be an efficient scorer/play-maker. People are talking about shot selection for a Freshman in which he is also hitting at a decent rate.
Is he the best passer? No
Is he a lock down defender?
Is he a difference maker on the court? Yes

NBA is all about the scoring guards now. The only thing that matters is impact on the court and he has a major one for Carolina and every other team he has played for.

Granted teams and scouts get things wrong every year, I think he'd be a unanimous Top 5 pick if he was as good as you're making him out to be. I've seen nothing that makes me think he can be an above average scoring guard in the NBA. He's fast in the open floor but he's not a spectacular all-around athlete. His shot and shot selection needs work. His instincts don't stand out.

I've said I haven't seen enough of him yet but he's been underwhelming when I do watch. His three games against Duke he shot a combined 32% from the field with 10 assists and nine turnovers. Small sample size but against an athletic, good defensive team.

I always try to project which role a player will have at the next level and I'm just not sure what White is. Does he end up on the Westbrook path and turn into your primary playmaker? I'm not sold on that. If he does then he'll probably be a steal for wherever he gets drafted. Is he going be a combo guard who leans more to the scoring end of the spectrum? If that's the case then he's likely a guy coming off your bench.

In this draft I wouldn't blame a team for taking a risk. If you get to 11 or 12 and you're not thrilled with what's left on the board, I can see White being taken.

I wouldn't draft him top 5, but I would certainly draft him at the bottom of the lottery. He really had one bad game against Duke so going off of stats doesn't equate. He's already a playmaker not sure what games you have watched, but his growth is the reason for Carolina's success. His growth made Carolina a number 1 seed on how he has ran the team and controlled games. Didn't say he was great but he has every tool to be a problem at the next level and has showed tremendous growth this season. Why do you think scouts have moved him to the top 10?

Re: NBA Draft 2019

I asked this before

Ty Jerome or Coby White?

Jarrett Culver just locked himself into a top 8 player. Probably more like top 5.

Ty Jerome and Coby White two different levels

Re: NBA Draft 2019

Is Jerome even supposed to be a first rounder?

I doubt it, only comparison him and Coby has is size. Unless Ty Jerome gets a post game guards in the NBA will abuse him with speed.

Another night of Zion toying with children. For the first time in my life I'm rooting for Duke to win so we can watch more of this kid.

Re: NBA Draft 2019

But also... RJ has definitely tied himself with Ja Morant in my mind. Both are the second best players. The fact that RJ didn't force himself into bad situations like he did earlier on the season. He 7 assist in the first half. They were overloaded to his side. But they changed it up in the second half. And man he got it going to the rim. He usually gets one charge a game lower his shoulder (I think all 3 guys get one a game on that bs lol).

Re: NBA Draft 2019

Also Culver has definitely worked his way into a top 4 player in my opinion. This was one of the moves he made in his last game.

Jonathan Givony on Instagram: "Just 7 points on 3/10 shooting in the first half for #texastech sophomore shooting guard prospect Jarrett Culver, who came out extremely aggressively at both ends (3 steals) in the first half but the #redraiders trail #gonzaga 37-35 at the break - Above is a look at a pro move pullback three-pointer from the top of the arc by the 6-6 and 20 year old - Beat: @producerfentonjoseph"
