    Projected as a late 1st rounder for now. The Rockets don't have a 1st round pick, but a trade can always be arranged and this team likes shooters. Will he translate to the NBA?

    I'd rather have Grayson Allen.

    I think he can be deceptively good and that might translate to the nba. Good shooter. Size to be a SG. Deceptively athletic.

    Will he be able to defend early on? That's the question.

    Did you just type something like 'Sarnunsas Marchlolionysu' to get a correct spelling and then copy/pasted it into this thread? :rolleyes:

    Good eye! Yep, copy-and-pasted, because I have no idea how to type all those funky glyphs.

    He cannot defend. Amazing offensive player, no defensive skills. He will be a specialist.

    He me of Bobby Sura. He will surprise because of his attitude of not getting rattle & better playing as a role player than the star of the team.

    Luke Kennard may struggle with NBA athleticism & length.

    Not getting rattled??????? Grayson Allen?

    You must be being sarcastic. That's his weak spot dude. Before this season I was intrigued by Grayson. After this season I'm wondering how a kicking contest would go between him and Draymond.

    Very disappointed in his development this year. (But still considerate of his pro prospects and waiting to see how he looks in camp.)
