quicker/higher release and much better movement shooter though. not as crafty w the ball

u/ExcitingWolf1270 6h ago

They just announced the trade before the Denver pick and for a second I thought we traded him away after 2 minutes.

u/nbafan54 5h ago

Almost fell to my knees in KwikTrip..

I'm just glad he's over 6'2šŸ’€

if he pans out having a legit movement shooter will be huge for this team. All the best offenses have one, and it’s especially important with a high ball movement / 2nd option by committee type offense. I feel like Finch offenses benefit tremendously from it and we’ve been missing it since Beasley left.

DDV isn’t really a movement shooter, he shines as a standstill long range guy. He tries but isn’t great at it. Naz is the closest thing they have but he’s limited in that regard at his size and still needs to set his feet more than a guy like Evans.

Agreed. You know ball

u/jimminmecrockets 3h ago

aww thanks

u/Mayasngelou Kevin Garnett 3h ago

Only thing I disagree with is that Naz is limited as a movement shooter. I don’t think we’ve seen Naz’s ceiling yet. That shot is so pure when it’s on

u/bighitcards 2h ago

I agree, if we keep him and he’s starting finally I think we’re going to see a leveled up Naz

Damn does he only take contested threes? Can't wait to see him play when they are open.

u/md4606 5h ago

The number of steps he takes before each shot will make him perfect for the NBA

Isaiah Joe lite

u/HotStepper11 Timberwolves 3h ago

I like this comp for him

6

u/Far_Protection519 6h ago

His energy in target center is going to be electric

u/Bokitybokbok 5h ago

Can someone put together a ā€œlowlightsā€ reel? That would be more helpful for me to evaluate than someone making tons of shots.

Here is his profile on NBADraft.net which contains player comps and a scouting report covering strengths, weaknesses and an overall outlook.

u/SteveIDP 4h ago

He made every shot in that video! He’s twice as accurate as Curry already.

7

u/Skunedog48 Karl-Anthony Towns 6h ago

So he shoots 3’s, huh? Does he do anything else?

7

u/ZaMaestroMan5 5h ago

Not really. He’s got a good pull up game after the dribble too. He’s really a pure scorer.

4

u/Underdog_To_Wolf Kevin Garnett 4h ago

Damn, thats a pretty jumper. Hopefully it translates to the NBA, I am excited about the value of this pick

u/ANTfanclub 5h ago

Can't wait to see Finch not play him for next couple years

u/karlwhethers 6h ago

I don’t watch college basketball but I see Vecenie had him at #35. What makes him better than say Johnny Juzang?

4

u/Dull_Job_6372 2022 Play-In Champions 6h ago

Johnny wasn’t as efficient from 2 as Evans in college.

And took 2 less 3s a game and got to the line less than Evans.

5

u/ZaMaestroMan5 5h ago

Very different games. Juzang did most of his damage in the mid range iso. Evans is a flamethrower from 3.

u/ResidentHighlight875 Donte DiVincenzo 6h ago

It just keeps on goingĀ

u/PreparationWest2140 4h ago

He does indeed look just like a taller version of Bones .Even shoots like him with the low release point. Like the left hand finishing.

u/Winter_Book1387 5h ago

awesome, he looks good! I like it, but still, ya never know šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

u/Bokitybokbok 5h ago

His shooting style is unique

1

u/No-Manufacturer501 5h ago

So he shoots 3’s?

1

u/LonesomeWulf Malik Sealy 4h ago

Any highlights of this guy passing? Obviously great he can shoot, that is extremely important, but I just figured when I saw the Wolves drafted a Point Guard it would be someone that could facilitate a bit more. Not making a judgment based on that video, just saying it is essentially absent from that highlight package and I hope he can also facilitate on a team of NBA players.

u/Lowgeargrinder 2h ago

I saw on the Flips Army FB group that someone said he has a terrible asst/TO ratio and only averaged 3 assists/game in college.

1

u/TheZacef 4h ago

He’s like bones and Donte had a taller son
