    His shot release isn't low...it just starts low. It looks odd because of his wingspan,but i think that's the key to him being a good shooter. It allows him to get a good arc and roll off his finger tips.

    I don't think he has a low bball IQ. It seems like he did what he needed to do on that team. Passes well on the PNR.

    Obviously the prospect of a elite level shooter is always appealing, but RJ is a few years from being a solid NBA player...It has to start defensively.

    There is zero question that the dude has the tools to be an elite level shooter, and his does have HIGH bball IQ...but still think the dude has to prove him self defensively.

    I personally think the Rockets really want to move up in this draft, but if RJ is there at 18...would not be surprised if Morey takes a gamble...

    He looked very, very good last night. Kyle Korver-esque good. He distorted the whole defense because they were having to face-guard him continuously. And he still got off his shots and knocked them down. Going to be a solid contributor.

    His release is so quick...eerily similar to Curry. Lot of teams are gonna regret passing him up. Good for the Celtics.

    Day-um, that boy can shoot. Looks like a more athletic Novak. I know it's a small sample size, but... Maury, git'r done!

    He was one of the handful of guys I wanted for the Rockets; wish they could have traded up back in the first to get him but really happy with Dekker and Harrell.

    Even he will be just like Kmart, that still will be a very good player for 5-6 years.

    KMart is 10 times the athlete Hunter is.
