I was just talking about physical profile and play style. They're so similar in how they aren't rushed, they're able to create space off the dribble and they're very confident in their shot. And they both defend similarly too with strong on-ball defense. I think Bub is actually a better team defender and playmaker whereas SGA is a craftier scorer. Reaching those levels depends on where he goes, coaching, surrounding cast, etc. That's too difficult to predict. I'm just interested in whether he has starting lead guard ability and I think he does. I'll have him higher on my Big Board than I have him mocked for sure because I don't think with how long scouts and talking heads took to accept him as high level prospect, that teams will view him as such, so he'll go lower.

dude would work wonders in Orlando IMO. He doesn't need the ball in his hand, can run an offense, solid spot up shooter defensively solid.
A scoring guard.. never heard of one. :roll:

I don't think Bub can generate any real space off the dribble, he has no athleticism at all.

D'lo is his max ceiling, but JHS is more likely.

A guy this slow and ground bound should not uhh, not be compared to Maxey...

Just broke down film with Bub. One of my favorite prospects in the class and my favorite swing. Great convo with a bright, charismatic, high bball IQ kid.
