Johnny Furphy 2023-24 Kansas Jayhawks Highlights



Thoughts on drafting Johnny Furphy? I think his skill set could fit nicely.

    I like him in the 2nd round. A little too raw as the 16th pick.

    I’d rather they look to take an older college guy with that 16th pick. It’d be helpful to have an older rookie that can eat up minutes in the regular season and somewhat contribute.

    I don’t know jack shit about college ball or prospects though, so I am just parroting things I’ve heard on various talk radio shows. It does make sense that the Sixers don’t really have room for project players like what Zaire, Springer, Joe, and Bassey were at the time of their drafting.

    Like him as a project. He has good size at 6’9 and a really promising shooting stroke. Showed some toughness and a nose for the ball with rebounds and hustle plays too.

    But he’s raw as hell and kind of a zero defensively. Lacks elite top end athleticism. Doesn’t have much of an off the bounce game currently. You worry that he can be someone you just run off the 3pt line and essentially play him out of the game because he just becomes a target on defense.

    Likely pass from us just because it’s probably going to be years before you see his impact, but he’s an intriguing prospect in the mid first still.

    We haven’t had the best luck with Australians lmao
