Although if you look at the second tier guard prospects he has been outplayed by all of them. He also missed games to a back injury. I saw him one game and it was rough.
He looks like a guy with a pretty wide variance of pick range and player outcome.
Brown Jr might just be a lot more flashy than actually productive. I really struggle with him. He is very athletic, has great size for a lead guard as well as a great looking handle and shot but he’s just neither efficient shooting the ball nor is he good at running an offense. Brown Jr is giving me serious DSjr flashbacks who I was extremely high on back in the day despite comparable struggles at NC State. I am still not sure if I would put either one of Acuff / Philon ahead of Brown Jr but that is more bc I am lower on these two in general.
Ament‘s rise back to top 5/7 status is a great thing to watch. Outside of the Top 5 I think him & Wagler have gained a lead on the rest of the guys for now. So I am rooting for us to land in the top 7. I think both would be great fits here next to Flagg given their perimeter heavy games and there is clearly a ton of upside there Imo so Id happily draft either one if thats where we pick.
