Been watching him for some time. He is simply nails down the stretch. Doesn't shoot the 3 all game today. Waits until it's dagger time. Then blasts it. Blocks the shot at the buzzer (did the same thing in another game). One of the most efficient offensive players ever in the NCAA. He's got that great nack for knowing how to size up the D in the triple threat position and make the right play for his team. This guy could walk into TC tomorrow, start and be one of our big three. And I don't care where you start him, PF or SF. He'll produce big time.
Well, my bracket still looks good. Thanks to this dude. He's coming through just like I thought he would. Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that this guy shouldn't go top 3 in the draft?
he is definitely looking the goods....maybe the closest (along with kyrie) to a sure thing in this draft.
Looks like DraftExpress and nbadraft.net finally got the top of their draft boards right. If Derrick doesn't go one or two, somebody is going to regret it big time. I would give my right arm to get this kid in a Rockets uni.
I'm still not convinced he can play SF at the NBA level. He's proven to be a damn good college post player though. Whether that translates to being a star at the next level, I'm not sure -- I still worry about his height.
