Sorry for spamming vids. I just really enjoy watching Kon Here’s vision on a blind kick-out. Notice in one motion he sees ORL scrambling to cover the corner, so just knows that means to top of key is open.
Kon is elite at playing off 2 feet because of his IQ and frame. His jump stops and pivot game are fundamentals 101.
Of course! After all, who would pass on a LeBron/Giannis/God clone like Amen?!?!?! You really went from being a Jalen extremist to being an Amen extremist.
As of right now Kon is the better player, partly because he’s been given free reign. Also because Kon being a bigger player can muscle himself into the lane. But Reed went from looking like a total bust in his initial stints when he stated his career. To a non efficient 3 point shooting specialist who’s supposed to shoot 3’s. Literally he looked ultra slow and awkward handling the ball last season. So much that on many redrafts, people would not put him in the first round, period! The one good thing is what he did in his brief stint in the G-a league, he literally toyed with the competition. If not for the super positive description by Stone during the offseason, I was thinking this dude’s a total bust myself. And this year Reed hit the gate looking so much more dominating. He’s had his ups and downs, but he’s proven to be highly effective all season long. His WS for his class has I’m at #4 overall, which has been catapulted with mostly his terrific play this year. We’ve all been dismayed that Ime either has little trust in Reed early on, or was coddling him in the 4th quarter. So although I voted for Kon, I think Reed has the potential to be a superstar in the likes of Steph Curry. Kon has more going for him in his size, but Reed seems to have the intangibles that might propel him to a much higher ceiling than can be projected. But both players figure to be superstars. Both fellas look to be very humble and coachable. Kon never seemed annoyed that Cooper got all the accolades at Duke. Reed never criticized his Rockets coaches for managing his minutes.
