As a lebron fan this would be a dream come true … no way he lets yall lose game 1 against the Knicks . I watched him win a series with Marcus smart as his second option, he’d be so deadly with the cavs .
I get that his combine numbers weren’t great, but Philon’s game isn’t built around elite athleticism anyway. He beats defenders with craft, pacing, and change of speed, kind of like Shai. Because of that, the testing numbers don’t really concern me that much.
The one concern I do understand is his weight/frame, but that’s something that can improve once he gets into an NBA strength program.
I think he’s extremely underrated. I don’t really understand why people don’t put him in the same tier as guys like Mikel , Acuff, Flemings, or Wagler.
Do yall think there will only be guards taken in the 5–8 range?
Am I crazy to think Philon can be it? He was a good defender his freshman year and has the handle, craft , and intermediate game that Ajay also has. Reminds me so much of Ajay since they are both non freshman prospects.
