Unlike Burries, he has that one sure NBA skill that will always give him a place in the league. But, he also has holes in his game. He can't take anyone off the dribble. Drive against close-outs - check. Get downhill with use of a screen - check. Take any NBA defender off the dribble. Nope.
It doesn't mean he lacks value. I've always wondered though why it is top 5/6 value. I can absolutely see him falling.
Positional size, elite shooter, high BBIQ, late bloomer. His biggest weakness is strength and athleticism, but he does not shy away from contact. But I agree, I never thought there was much separation among the 5 guards with the possible exception of Acuff.
