I would say this perspective is fairly accurate. He has room to improve. -
If he is expected to get drafted I think he would have to go really. It is certainly more desirable to be injured on NBA time than Wichita State time. (not to say it is EVER desirable to be injured.)Comment

you can get drafted in the 2nd round, get injured and make nothing. Getting drafted isn't always as good as it sounds.Originally posted by Windiwu View PostComment

If he is our PG next year, he will be gone. Because he will be a stud PG. And NBA teams will point to FVV and want that.
Altough, I don't think his handles are at FVVs level yet. Even when Fred was at WSU. But his penetration and bball IQ is up there."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

This is the 2020-21 salary scale for 1st Rounders. The bottom of the first round is guaranteed for two years, and the second round isn't guaranteed, so if you get hurt or if they find someone else that they are surprised by, the 2nd rounders just go down to the G League and make very little.Originally posted by Windiwu View Post
The money for bottom 1st rounders is guaranteed but not momentous money. Ron Baker had to show up well for himself for a year or two before he made his nice money (9 Million/2 years iirc). Rookie money, even guaranteed doesn't approach that type of life changing money, although 3.2 Million/2 years or1.6 Million per year isn't shabby. The teams probably have one spot at the end of the bench for a G League or 2nd Rounder. Most likely a G League player.

What I’m about to say is not a slight on TE.Originally posted by ShockerPrez View Post

I don't disagree. Fred had a better team around him. It will be fun to see what TE does when he has more pieces to call upon.Originally posted by shock View Post
Both are extreme competetors. I just want to see what these guys do when 10k fans erupt in approval at high level play."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!Comment

On a slight tangent, do you think we will get to a point in basketball where, like baseball, you can be drafted, not like your status/offer, and return to college ball?Comment

I don't follow this stuff, but I know you are knowledgeable on it so I have a question for you. Is there a Covid-19 effect this year where the draft is particularly deep? By that I mean are there really sort of two classes (i.e. two years worth) of seniors and foreigners hitting the boards in a single year causing it to be more talented overall than in recent years? Or is this pretty much same ol' same in terms of quality of overall talent?Originally posted by The Mad Hatter View PostKung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

I hesitate to compare anyone with Fred. Tyson will be a better shooter than Fred imo although Fred can shoot it really well. Fred has nifty handles, but the thing that has separated and always will separate Fred from most is his spatial, and court awareness. He sees players while running the break, or in the half court. It’s like he has eyes in the back of his head and he never forgets where they are in relationship to him, thus his passing skills are practically para-normal. Fred’s passing skills are what separates him from most players.Originally posted by ShockerPrez View PostComment

There are not two year's worth of people hitting the draft because the NBA still had a draft in 2020, however many people consider the 2021 draft class to be a strong one (on paper certainly stronger than the 2020 draft class) just in terms of the talent of the one-and-done freshman group and international players compared to last year.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
The interesting thing about this year's draft class is that, for the first time, college seniors can do the early entry process since the extra NCAA eligibility means that seniors could theoretically withdraw from the draft unlike most years (and including seniors bumps the early entry category from 136 to 296 making it artificially look larger than most years despite actually being a bit smaller than recent years in terms of non-senior early entrants). I don't know exactly how the eligibility shifts will play out over the next several years, but the NBA draft is rarely dominated by college seniors anyway, so I wouldn't expect a huge impact."Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

Fred's passes also got to shooters where the shooter wanted to catch it. A shooter could get into his shot the moment he caught the ball. If a shooter has to reach for the ball it can throw the timing off and sometimes blow up the play. The last couple of years I've seen a lot of guys who were open, but they had to take a step and reach for the ball in order to catch the pass. That can turn an open look into a contested shot or no shot at all.Originally posted by Shockm View PostComment

There is no doubt from me that Fred was coaching the players during the summer (without coaches) regarding how to move and get open, and that he was aware of where they were on the court. Fred’s passing ability and his regard for taking care of the ball (low turnovers), is unrivaled.Originally posted by WuTheOne View PostComment
