Who is more likely to make it in the NBA? Tremont Waters, Naz Reid, or Bigby Williams.

Reid has the best chance, I think, just because of how physically gifted he is.

KBW due to his height.

TW will see more minutes first. KBW could possibly get in the league and give a team back up minutes over time. I actually think Naz has the highest upside and over time will improve his game and become a legit player- not an all-star but a guy who sticks around the league.

Bigby, most NBA teams have enough scorers to go around but highly value a guy who will get dirty on the boards, play D and protect the rim....he cancarve outhis own niche

I think Tremont will be the best in the NBA. He has "it". He has the vision, the handle, the shooting, and the athleticism to make it. His biggest drawback is his height, obviously.

I think the thing that will surprise the most people out there is his defense. In the right situation, he is going to be great at the double down, as his instincts as a ball hawk are superior. He will be taken advantage of by taller guards, at time, but he will also be a pest out on the perimeter.

Naz Reid,

Once he learns to play with his back to the basket and gets his lower body stronger, he will be a tough dude to handle. People, especially some on here, don't understand how a athlete gets better athletically from the age of 18 to 24. Naz is still a teenager. In 3 years, in a good weight training program, he will be a fricking beast under the goal. Will be quicker, better balanced, jump higher, run faster. He just needs his body to catch u with his skill. I think Tre will do good, just won't have as much of an impact as Naz. KBW is nearly reached his athletic ceiling. Maybe if he gets a little stronger he will make it. But he needs to develop an outside shot.

Williams, because he plays with heart and effort. Reid looked like and played like a girl...just sad effort and development imo. Waters is just too small.

Naz has the least chance of the three. No natural skill that stands out. Bigby has length, shot blocking skills, Waters is quick as a cat, can create fit self and others, Reid can shoot a set shot from three point range, that is it. No power game facing or back to the basket.
Enjoy playing overseas Naz!

Easy... ... Waters. his defence and 3pt shooting with give him a great chance to stick with the Celtics. Also the Celtics need shooters and guards.They may not pick up Terry Rozier contract.

I’ve always felt like Tremont was undervalued and underrated. I can see him having a strong NBA career.

That's sad. Waters will be severely abused on defense. He doesn't have the size or strength to endure the NBA. The league may be softer now, but it still takes an incredible toll on bodies. Waters may play a few games or weeks but he absolutely will not make it long. He's a very undersized scorer. Would be better for him if he were a specialist at something.

10-15 years ago Reid and Williams. In today's game, Tremont.

Funny that this thread started post draft. Let’s see... guy w best chance ... umm.. oh I know, the guy that was drafted! He has most natural skill, quickness, handles, shot, and vision. The down: tiny gambling defensive liability. He’ll have a chance to show he can contribute and in my estimation he will.

Worst chance: hmm, guy who is lazy, low hoops IQ, lowest vert at the combine, highest body fat at combine. The one who didn’t show up at all in tourney??!!
People think he will “learn” back to the basket game”? Develop a motor past 18? Decide to take it seriously, oh, “after I get paid” f
Sorry, Naz’s opportunity has passed.
.
Bigby: Guys who can’t shoot are not “highly valued” in the league. Can he be Tyson Chandler?… Maybe even like the guy Pels drafted at 8? ...athlete who can’t shoot? . I don’t think he has near their athleticism .. .. Sure he’s tall with a motor and can run the floor, maybe be a pick and roll guy who can dunk but I don’t think his hands are that great. Today’s NBA bigs better be able to pick and pop or there is hardly a place for them.

I do get a kick out of people still pimping Naz as something he’s not…

Reid has the size and talent to be good in the NBA. He needs to get into nba shape and keep improving

Kbw has the size and athleticism to make a roster if he improves. He can play d and rebound......get putbacks that sort of thing.

Tremont probably is the most skilled of the 3. Its just his size is going to be so hard to overcome. He needs to become an assasin from 3 imo. Make his value so high offensivly that you can live with the other teams trying to get tremont isolated on defense against Ben Simmons posted up and the like.
