I don’t follow college basketball, but from what I’ve seen based on scouting videos, he’s the best available in our range. I think the thing that really stands out is his ‘smoothness’, the same thing that I thought Donovan Mitchell had coming out of college.
Maintains touch and scores through contact, very impressive indeed. Can make a great shot despite being well defended. That's what you look for in a star player. Can make something not only when he is open, but also when well defended. I think thats the most important skill to look for when scouting.
Rebounds well, is not a bad passer at all. He would be great next to Luka. Can shoot the 3 really well from what I see, what are his stats there? Seems also very athletic, and thats promising for the defense.

He even mentions the fit next to Doncic.Yeah was my pick at #18, too. Not much vertically imho, but very crafty and fast. I think how the vertical effects his game in the NBA will determine, whether he´ll be special or shitty. But he seems to have a good floater, which somewhat negates the potential rim finishing problem.

Im just watching his highlights etc. Seems very shy of contact, thats a bad sign perhaps. Always choses the floater instead of going for the rim. Very athletic, great floater. When he is open he is impressive, its just that in NBA only few plays he will be that wide open in the paint. Has a good 3 pt shot it seems. Can go either way, star or a bench role.
Cole seems much safer pick IMO, he finishes through contact almost as well as when he is wide open. He will be a solid stater as a minimum, potentially a star, IMO.
