Sometimes talent isn’t needed to get drafted.
Talen Horton Tucker seemed to have been drafted because he has wide shoulders and long arms. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because of:
40% FG%
30% 3pt%
62% FT%
11.8 pts per game
4.9 rebs per game
2.3 assists per game.
And often being benched at end of close games due to loose handles and poor shooting.
It’s all about the combine. Great basketball skills AND good athleticism is obviously the key to and NBA career, but if having to choose between basketball skills OR athleticism the athleticism wins every time in the NBA. Probably why I greatly prefer the college game. CJF has great basketball skill and will probably never sniff the NBA.
Sorry got a little rambly.
