Like we’ve all been saying for months.
I don’t know anything but this guy is the goat we better draft him
For those in the know, please tell me about this guy!
He looks like mikey williams
6’2.5 guard, 22 years old, who is a very good defender at college level. Can’t really shoot. Mocked as undrafted by tankathon
The second coming of Malachi
From Kevin O’connor:
**Low-usage playmaker** who can also lock down opponents’ best guards.
SHADES OFJose Alvarado
* Floor General
* On-Ball Defense
* Off-Ball Defense
* Hustle
PLUSES
* Excellent defender who won ACC Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight year as a senior despite an increased offensive workload. He mirrors opponents’ movements on-ball as if he knows the play they’re running. With his long wingspan, he’s able to bother the ball handler even if they have a slight edge.
* He makes smart rotations, stays active, and shows great fundamentals chasing players through screens as an off-ball defender. And in the passing lanes, he’s a total menace. He is the type of rookie even a veteran head coach will trust early on.
* Patient ball handler in the pick-and-roll. He knows how to navigate screens and use angles to slither his way into the paint. Though he isn’t the speediest player, he knows how to alternate pace to generate space.
* Minimizes mistakes as a ball handler. He can help in running the offense in a pinch, even if he’s not a primary option.
* Solid finisher in the paint who started draining floaters as a senior.
MINUSES
* Ineffective shooter with a hitch and a low release, as he holds the ball far in front of his face. If his dribble jumper doesn’t improve, defenders will go under screens, capping his ceiling as a playmaker.
And with the Top 6 pick, in the 2024 NBA Draft…the Toronto Raptors select…
Defensive 6’2 PG projected as either a late SRP or UDFA. Don’t feel much about him, but eh.
another short guard who cant shoot?
So he’s a shorter Michael Kidd Gilchrist? Pass.
Most likely going to be a SRP or an undrafted FA. It’s always worth working these guys out because you never know if somebody ends up taking a leap after the College season.
Not gonna be mad if we get a Davion Mitchell type player with a SRP.
Cool
Undrafted target it looks like
3 players have won dpoy award back to back before; Beekman is the 4th. Beekman plays with Ryan Dunn one of the worst shooters meaning it’s 4 on 5 when playing offence yet he has one of the best assist to turnover ratios in college basketball for the last 3 years. So he is consistent in defence and taking care of the ball. His shooting 31%-35% 2-3 attempts last 3 years and ft% is 75-79% for the last 3 years. You need to pick up a senior guard with the Detroit pick you choose him. Than Shead or Kolek they are all old senior guards who are consistent and probably won’t get a chance to play anyway so it doesn’t really matter.
