Really encouraged by the Thompsons measurements. They are big SF sized. A little bigger than Jaylen Brown in height and wingspan. Mixed on Jarace. Similar measurements to Draymond yes, but Draymond is undersized. Amen is only half an inch shorter than Jarace…

I dont like the fit, but those measurements would make it nice if we drop tomorrow night. Not sure i'd want him over Miller at 3 though.
What scares you about the fit exactly? I'm assuming it can only be the lack of a jumpshot. Other than that he appears to be an ideal PG to pair next to Green and one that can help cover up for his defensive shortcomings.
Jarace is on the shorter side, but the 7'2.5" wingspan is good. That's pretty much center wingspan. Same wingspan as Bam, for example. Explains why he blocked so many shots. 38 inch vert is also pretty crazy for a guy who weighs near 250.
7:30 mark onwards Jesus Christ at those shot attempts and the results…that jumper looks broken as hell
Him and his brother suck.Would just add to the further embarrassment of a franchise to end up with him after 3 seasons of winning less than 60 games
Yea I have no hope for him shooting wise… His playmaking and defense would compliment Green perfectly though.
with a jumper that broken, they’re gonna guard him like Simmons he has no floater, no midrange, definitely no 3 point game that will be the bricklayer backcourt Can his playmaking and defense make up for all that?
"Bang your head on the rim" kind of explosive leaping ability, and it's effortless--can jump high off one foot while contorting his body to avoid defenders. First step is comparable to guys like Green and De'Aaron Fox. 6'7" in shoes with a true 7 foot wingspan. Elite passing/playmaking ability. Can make frozen rope passes straight across court. Feels where defenders and teammates are, great court vision. Loves to get out and run and can outrun anybody down the court. He would immediately fix our stagnant offense and get us out in transition a lot more often. He will need some development time, especially his shooting. But he has insane upside, like if everything actualizes and he learns to shoot even just to an average level, MVP contender type of ceiling.
He isn’t even a dollar store version of westbrick or Simmons 2.0. dude is a Salvation Army Exum 2.0. Poo poo platter prospect
