Bell,yes --- because you can't teach height. Hargrove is listed at 6'4" which screams two-guard to me. He's going to need more development in terms of ball-handling and shooting. had a dream about Hargrove the other night.... i think his stock SOARS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a lot of this is fun hypotheticals, but I consider Jimerson one of the best NBA prospects on our team. I don’t think Goodwin or French will ever play in the NBA, although I hope they prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 One thing I think going for Goodwin is his wingspan, which I believe I saw listed at 6’10”. It wouldn’t shock me if scouts saw him as having a pretty high defensive ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compton Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Fred VanVleet was a better shooter (3pt and FT) than JG is today, but he's a good example of a somewhat unconventional player (not fitting an NBA mold in terms of height, vertical, length, stats, etc...) that has found NBA success. Takes a lot of work - like FVV put in - but guys like JG can make a place for themselves. billiken_roy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I don't think Hargrove, Jimerson, Bell,or Jacobs are NBA prospects unless you are playing a big "what if" game. Perkins, JGood, and Has imo are very borderline but all could be real prospects with improvement in just 1 or 2 skill sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Actually, if Jimmy Bell really puts in the work and becomes more aggressive, he might have a decent shot at the NBA. He's got pretty good footwork already. And his shooting form looks good. I like his commitment to doing what it took to overcome the weight thing. Shows he's not afraid of what it takes to reach his goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To Jacobs’ credit, he has shown that time of work ethic in order to drastically improve from year one to year two. If he can continue that trajectory, and translate the work ethic to assertiveness on the court, I totally agree he’d have the makeup of a pro-level guard. Like you, I also think there’s a long way to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little work on your jumper to get your 3 % up to high 30's plus your 1st step defensively is a bit slow. I noticed you're opening up too much and really just sliding. You really need to drive hard on that 1st step to stay in front of your man. Work on these two things and we'll get you back up to a 3* which makes you potentially and NBA player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
