I know he is a future NBA too draft pick to many people and his offense is solid.

However, is anyone else noticing that his body language and his lack of running is becoming worse? I mean the kid barely runs up the court ever! And it’s a strange kind of loopy jog. It’s bizarre. There was a offensive set in the first half where he went to set a screen and I thought he was going to tip over. Looked drunk or high almost with his staggered movement

If he declares this season, he’ll probably be a late first.

If he decides to come back, develops a better 3pt shot and ball handling skills, he would be a lotto pick

Played against NBA sized guys last night. Didn’t do much. Looked overwhelmed at times. Nowhere ready for the NBA !!

The kid has way too many holes in his game at this point. If he declares, he is a G league kid. He is a turnover or bad shot machine, but he does have spurts where he looks unstoppable. The problem is he always thinks he is unstoppable and sometimes plays way out of control. Defense is average, he gets away with poor fundamentals because of his size

Watford is the guy Wade was talking about when he said "the same guy is making the same mistake over and over." He's really come along offensively, but he's a really bad defender.

No way - there are a 100 Watfords playing in college right now with twice the maturity.

That was for his shitty defense and letting sestina knock down 2-3's in a row with no defense.

The guy is a great talent but he really needs work on these two things. Maybe it happens after being drafted, I don't know but the ball handling issue is so obvious. My 14 year old starts say no, no, no when he's dribbling up the court against pressure or on a fast break. He has so many positives but needs some development for sure.

He is a good player. Not great yet.. He is a freshman. He plays way to many minutes. He plays or is required to play out of position as we have no Primary Big. Btw he did not sit for 6 minutes.

I think there is too much growing that needs to happen on his part. Ball handling, long range shots, less turnovers are things we can see need improving. If we see this as we watch all the players on court, imagine what scouts are seeing as they only focus on him.

He is a great talent and is a smooth mover with nice moves. I enjoy watching him, I sure hope he stays and improves his craft.
