I also have my personal under the radar picks.
Precious Achiuwa. I guess most of you aren´t interested in another undersized big.
Kai Jones. Advanced stat darling in limited minutes. Def on/off -4.3, DFG% in the paint -17.8%. Looking at EPM he barely misses the cut. 79th percentile on defense. 65th percentile in DREB%. 92th percentile in BLK%.
That's an interesting point. As fans, should we have an experience/accomplishment expectation? Is up and coming just another word for cheap or is it an actual strategy to get someone before they prove themselves to be good.
Another thought, do they need to be a 3 point shooter? A strong roll-man in the PNR? You certainly aren't getting both along with D, boards and blocks for what we have to offer.
