You see: Hustle. Energy. Try hard-ness. And those are the MAIN positives.
When I see that, I see a guy whose upside is Powell. Or another J Green. And that would make sense, because that seems to be their persistent criteria in trying to identify players. But that's not what I want.
I think their criteria is wrong.
My personal sense of things is that they need to be looking for guys with basketball skills, not "effort" (as the primary plus).
I see Omax as a plus level NBA athlete (his measurements and athleticism stood out at the combine) is super long. DJJ same. We also added Lively who is another of those long and Bouncy guys and Green has + NBA athleticism as well. I’m so happy to see them add those types because we have been sorely lacking in athletes for so long.
