I woke up even more excited about the potential with Maluach.

I also like that his frame compliments his height. He doesn't look like he has to grow into his body if that makes sense.

Also seems that he has a good foundation to work with on expanding his offensive game from the gate.

We may have easily got the gem of the draft.
It’s interesting, in games he looked kinda herky-jerky but in skills drills he looks fluid. That’s likely an outgrowth of his coming to the game somewhat later in life. I believe it means there’s still a lot of potential yet to be unlocked

At the risk of overreacting to a 1 on 0 video, his shot form looks decent. Good shot prep/footwork, load and follow through. Not a shooter yet by any stretch, but this looks light years ahead of Oso and shows potential to at least be a corner 3 threat in the future.

Very fluid movement. I definitely see the potential.

This is icing on the cake.

i get Andrew Bynum vibes, when he was really good for the Lakers two title teams, from him.

The Lakers move up 10 spots in the second round. I wish the Suns could have done that.

They did last year, see no reason they couldn't again this year. I'd be interested in either Flemming or Penda.

I feel the same. Wish the Suns could get back in the second round early.

What kills me about many of these videos is how good these guys can look in workout videos for shooting. Ayton comes to mind. You think..wow this dude is going to light it up. The second real game time happens and guys are running at you...brick city.

His shooting stroke shows potential but you never know.

I'm with you, Gerald. Let's do this. I like these players.

Nembhard is another player I like.

Totally tracks for the Suns to get the other brother. I like the Pacer's Nembhard. They're like a combo guard version of Tyus and Tre Jones from what I've seen.

I will take it in the second round, although I'm still infatuated with adding one of the big men Gerald Bourguet mentioned, like Thiero or Fleming.

I agree with the sentiment (Dunn is another example where his 1 on 0 workouts makes him look MUCH better), but Ayton's shot always looked super flat and was all upper body. His shot mechanics were comparatively poor, even though his mid-range was quite servicable.
