    I just saw Traoré in person yesterday in a preseason game and I was sitting behind him he’s defo somewhere around 6’3 and the man just looks so poised he’s calm collected and has a one of a kind burst. The man js truly special

    He s number 2 on my board as well. Edgecombe at 3, Ace Bailey at 4. So much talent all could be switched around come draft time for sure..I'm not as high on Dylan Harper but I ve seen the least on him of the 5.

    Traore reminds me of Lonzo Ball, doesn’t have much of an in between game but a competent shooter. His strengths are his speed, passing ability and IQ.

    The Jordan classic in Brooklyn I believe Dylan Harper was the MVP. What are you talking about dude if you don’t have a clue when it comes to identifying talent just shut it down shut it down.

  • @WillHarp-q3v
    @WillHarp-q3v 3 місяці тому

    If dude is number two that means he’s better than Dylan Harper and ace Bailey, which which means both of those two guys is better than Cooper flag which equals dues should be number one if you feel that way if he’s better than Dylan Harper and his baby, he’s also better than your choice Cooper flag.

    If you have Traore at #2, where are you drafting Ace and Dylan?

    • @StarTraffic-z1o

      Ace Bailey shot selection is not good. Dylan Harper struggles to get separation when he dribbles in the paint. He is not very quick or athletic.

      Every rookie will have an area for improvement. They are young players after all.
      Im not particularly high on Ace but shot selections can be worked/coached on. I'd still take Ace at 2 because athletically he is a freak.
      Dylan Harper on the other hand, he is a strong kid. Separation as you said can be an issue with him but I have him marginally ahead of Noah, but wouldn't be surprised if Noah leapfrogs him in the coming months.
      Im not saying Traore is not close to these guys but I would have Noah at 4 just ahead of VJ
