Seeing Sabonis, Jaren Jackson Jr., & Brogdon as 3 benchwarmers is so odd

Unc & Neph' putting up almost identical #'s, with Noah having the edge in the assists category.

Jackson is the youngest of the three at 30 years old. Brogdon is over 35, and these are ratings carried over from 2K16 and 2K18. I think Jackson was a CAP and he was only about a 76 at the time. And he's been on the decline for some reason.

Noah is definitely a pass first type of guy. And with Chet finishing those lobs, it's cake.

NBA Draft Watch: One and Dones

Jamal Cross - SG/SF (USC)
HT/WT: 6'6"/234
NBA Comparison: Matisse Thybulle
Draft Projection: Mid First Round

Strengths: A lock down defender who has potential to be utilized in the same role at the next level … Has good size for an NBA wing … Very alert and active on defense … Does a great job disrupting passing lanes … Uses his length and wingspan to his advantage recording both steals and blocks (3.3 steals and 2 blocks per game) … Great reflexes and timing on his reactions, helping with both blocks and steals … Really good feel for the game on defense … He has excellent physical tools … Can put the ball on the floor and attack the rim. Can throw it down with ease … Can be dangerous in the open floor … Capable of making open threes, just needs to get more consistent … Plays with a lot of energy. Has a good motor … Solid overall free throw shooting and three point numbers in junior year lead to optimism about his offensive potential … Considered one of the draft’s top individuals off the court …

Weaknesses: Needs to get more comfortable on offense … Sometimes forces things a bit … Shooting needs to improve. Lacks consistency … Has the ability to make threes, but not yet at a consistent rate … Great defender, but his offense needs to catch up … Ball handling needs to improve; handle is a bit loose …


Dwight O’Bryant – PG (Alabama)
HT/WT: 6'1"/185
NBA Comparison: Javon Carter
Draft Projection: Mid to Late First Round

Strengths: O’Bryant brings incredible toughness and a relentless style of play to the table when looking towards the next level … Despite being undersized for an NBA point guard has an above average athleticism (including a 38.5” max vertical) to the table which paired with his fearless attitude and style of play will make him a plus defender against the majority of NBA point guards … Possesses strong hands and quick reflexes that allow him to strip the ball from opponents at a high rate … He does a great job of penetrating off the dribble and kicking it out to open teammates on the perimeter … Dwight is also a high level outside shooter with NBA 3 point range … A hard working player with a gym rat mentality, and a fearless attitude on the court …

Weaknesses: While Dwight O’Bryant is a fearless player I wouldn’t choose to bet against, length projects to be an issue for him at the next level … Length has bothered him finishing around the rim at the collegiate level … Getting his shot off on the perimeter will be harder too, and he’ll have to be more crafty to create more space between himself and a longer defender


Anthony Howard, Jr. – PG (Oklahoma State)
HT/WT: 6'2"/207
NBA Comparison: Russell Westbrook
Draft Projection: Top 10

Strengths: Athletic and explosive combo guard with the length to make up for his lack of height … Attacks the basket with a lethal first step and crossover ability … Can handle the rock well and gets into the lane effortlessly … Finishes well at the rim and is unafraid to go up in traffic … Huge wingspan allows him to play much bigger than his 6-2 height … Gets good lift on his jumpshot and has a quick release … Solid passer with unselfishness, always looks for the open man … Has an excellent mid-range game … A gym rat, really works hard to improve … Has a great attitude, extremely coach-able … Has the potential to be a bigtime scorer when given the chance … Really excels defensively and has a chance to develop into a great defender … His anticipation for steals and his on ball defensive ability are special … Solid passer who shows the ability to play the point guard position …

Weaknesses: Showing the ability to run the point position as well as play the 2-guard will upgrade his draft potential … Must become better at handling ball pressure at the point guard position … Must continue to improve his body strength … Needs to improve upon his free throw shooting (55%) …

Jaxson Bass – SF (Baylor)
HT/WT: 6'7"/212
NBA Comparison: Kawhi Leonard
Draft Projection: Top 5

Strengths: A hybrid forward with terrific length … He has a high motor and plays the game with a lot of energy … Spends majority of the time on the perimeter, but occasionally shows the ability to play with his back to the basket … Uses an effective turnaround jumper inside when posting up … An agile athlete, his strides are extremely long and he covers a lot of space when running the floor … Operating out of the triple threat, he combines a nice jab with a fairly quick and long first step to create separation … He has a strong preference going to his pull-up jumper, and once he gets into a rhythm he can string a number makes together (his length and high release make it a difficult shot to contest) … He is fairly comfortable handling the ball in the open court and is capable of pushing it out off the rebound when the situation calls for it … Even with the improvements to his offensive game, he still continues to contribute heavily in the rebounding department … Length, energy and great timing, allow him to snatch balls on both ends that are well outside of his rebounding area … Has the instincts and shows potential in becoming a very solid defender … His ability to get out in the passing lanes and also contest shots inside make him a very dangerous weapon on the defensive end …

Weaknesses: Does not have one aspect offensively that stands out or which allows him to consistently score the ball … With his size and frame, will almost certainly be a perimeter player at the next level, but he lacks the polish and skill necessary to consistently operate on the wing … He does not have break down ability off the dribble and he is especially shaky handling the ball with his left hand … His jumpshot is still very inconsistent … The release comes high off his head and it is somewhat of a sling motion, which results in a fairly flat shot that goes all over the place … At this level, he has a size advantage on almost a nightly basis, but he still chooses to take the majority of his shots from the outside … Takes a high number of off balance shots, but does not show the ability to convert them at a good percentage … He does not have a great touch around the basket, and unless he can get inside position on the defense, he struggles finishing when contested … Not very disciplined defensively, he gambles far too often and leaves his team susceptible to giving up easy baskets …

Ethan Turner – C (Alabama)
HT/WT: 6'11"/233
NBA Comparison: Bam Adebayo
Draft Projection: Top 10

Strengths: Phenomenal physique for a 19-year-old … Elite athlete for a player of his build … At his best in the open court … Can turn the burners on and beat opposing bigs down the floor easily … Active on both ends of the floor … Finds himself often within the vicinity of the ball on every play … Willing to battle on the interior … Great as the roll man in the pick-and-roll … Dives hard to the rim … Effective setting screens … Really lets the guard come to him instead of attacking the defender he’s supposed to screen … Plays above the rim … Will finish any lob thrown within his catch radius … Keeps possessions alive offensively on the glass … Scores well at the rim … Finishes through contact … A lot to handle in the post for defenses … Seals off his man well in the post … Keeps his defender on his back on the low block … Comfortable shooting between 10-16 feet with the possibility to extend his range further out … Versatile defender … Can hold his own when switched onto guards … Has the lateral agility and quick feet to keep smaller players in front of him … Has the beef to stonewall opponents in the post … Strength shows when defending down low one-on-one … Excellent rim-protector … Times his jumps well on blocks … Confident enough to jump with any player attacking the basket … Defends fairly well without fouling … Enjoys the limelight. Confident and outgoing personality …

Weaknesses: Despite decent form was not a great free throw shooter (65.3 percent as a freshman) … For all his muscle, was not able to reel in many defensive rebounds … Basketball IQ is lacking, as he doesn’t always respond well to double teams … Finds himself in the wrong place or misses a rotation far too much … Has not developed much of a back to the basket game … Does not have a go-to move on the low block … Poor assist to turnover ratio (0.8 APG/ 1.7 TOPG) … Is not strong with the ball … Leaves the ball low where smaller players can smack it away … Body has likely reached its peak physically … More of an athletic specimen playing basketball than a basketball player with athletic components … 1.5 shot blocks per game could have been higher for an athlete of his caliber …


Oscar Johnson - PF/C (Syracuse)
HT/WT: 6'9"/225
NBA Comparison: Bobby Portis
Draft Projection: Lottery

Strengths: Great size and length. Great face up player and is incredibly tough to guard when he gets a head of steam going towards the basket … He’s got a great mid-range game and is expanding his range to include the three ball … Defensively he is active which leads to his fair share of deflections and steals … He moves his feet well and is a versatile defender due to his ability to stay in front of his man on the perimeter … Active rebounder as well, particularly on the offensive glass … Always seems to be in the right place at the right time and battles for position … He’s a strong player that can finish through contact and is effective with both hands … Really likes to get out on the fast break and can even run the break at times due to his ability to handle the rock for a four man … He may not be done growing as he’s over an inch taller now than he was when he arrived on campus two years ago … Great size for a PF at the next level …

Weaknesses: Good, but not great athlete … Fundamentally sound player at this stage but lacks explosiveness … Still doesn’t have great post moves and needs to work on his footwork around the basket … He projects as a PF at the next level but will need to develop more of a post game and not rely so much on his jump shot … While he’s a great defender in space and out on the perimeter for a big man, he isn’t the greatest post defender and isn’t really a shot blocker … Still a raw player on both sides of the floor but is developing …
