6-9 shooter, freshmen, love how he shoots and the movement skills, Self just declared him as a starter essentially moving forward, reminds me of Trey Murphy. not sure a one and done but has the makings of someone we need to keep our eye on.

Yeah, he looks like a guy that could explode in year 2.

I think he comes out if he continues his production on increased minutes.

Top-10 talent in this draft. Looks a legit 6'8 and w/ the movement skills to play SF - those ideal sized SF are in such high demand.

Great shot form (Consistency will come), never stopping motor, enough atleticism.

Really like this kid. Would take him w/ GSW FRP as a PDX fan.

Yep, savvy teams will be trying to entice him to enter this year.
He can play

Kyshawn George is the freshman that probably could use a bigger role that intrigues me. Will have to try to catch a good Furphy game.

Lottery pick. Kid knows how to play and that shot is money.

He is definitely intriguing and will be an NBA player. Easy to plug and play. Top 10 prospect? I don't know about that yet but I wouldn't rule it out either.

His hustle is next level and that shot is legit. Add to this size with sufficient athleticism and you already have yourself an NBA player. Question marks for me are if he can do something on the ball (but we should not expect too much at this point) and how his defense turns out. He has the energy, quickness and length to compete on that end but cannot do much against stronger players and I'm not sure how much of that is just due to age and how much of it will continue even as he matures.

6’9 Caruso

Gordon Hayward 2.0. I love how every year in college some guys come out of nowhere to become top prospects. I know I had never heard of him or considered him before he got the starting nod. Makes the already GOAT international class that much better. The fact that he was sitting for so long is crazy.

He's very good clay, but he hasn't had a self-creation rep all season.

Haha yup, 90% assisted rate at the rim and 96% assisted rate from 3. Im with most on here who is really liking what they see from Furphy, but Hayward was a shot creator in college, Furphy has yet to show that. Not saying he cant get there, just that he has shown 0 of that so far.

He’s not like Hayward at all.

He’s Caruso on Defense.

Offense he’s mainly transition, 3s, cuts to the hoop and putbacks.

If he gets a handle he’s top 3.

I don't know who he reminds me of but I like watching him play. Have a feeling my thinking about blowing up Year 2 might be gone.
