re: Our realistic draft option: Pro Comparisons and Potential

people say CJ McCollum because he was also a graduating senior. Buddy is bigger, and has a better shot. CJ is a lot scrappier on defense. He had almost twice the steals as Buddy his peak college year.

I like the Bradley Beal/Devin Booker comps... size and shooting skills are comparable

I think it is lost on people how much Buddy carried Oklahoma against a really good schedule with very little help. There was not a high level "5 star" recruit on that team. Even more lost on us is that he was not an AAU life long prospect or even a good high school player, but rather was practicing shooting into a makeshift basket made from a milk crate just a few years ago in the Bahamas.

He is older than other prospects coming out. Older than Beal or Booker were when they left their loaded teams. As far as the progress he has made PER YEAR of high level coaching, no one is keeping up with him.

I want this kid on our team. He has plenty more room to grow as a player.
