    At combine he tested as one of the best athletes in the last 10 years, you know he can shoot and is competitive almost to a fault. Wonder why with his athleticism and agility he isn’t a better defender

    I didn't really think this until seeing this last video, but he seems to have a bit of Klay Thompson in him.
    Doesn't have quite the height or standing reach, though, but has the athleticism.

    More to the point, in a motion offense, where he's coming off screens, etc., I could see this guy putting in buckets early.

    I guess EG is a potential comp, since EG is kind of a shorter, bulkier Klay.

    Would be epic if someone would trip him as he is walking onto the stage,

    he clearly has a problem and it's inevitable he's going to get the shhit beat out of him when he pulls this in the pros

    A lot of reasons.

    1. He played like a douche with dirty plays
    2. He looks like a douche
    3. He's a white guy from Duke which by default makes him a douche

    Nasty play is usually acceptable defensively, but I'm not sure Grayson Allen can even compare defensively. It'll be interesting to see but I'm not sure what the Rockets would have to do to get into a spot they can actually draft him.

    Would be the greatest smokescreen if Morey was after someone else.
