i mean hes a point guard in a centers body , if anything i would think it would help his movement more in not being bulky. you don't need to be a bulky muscle guy in basketball.

don't be KP... he spend most of the time on the bench and he mostly hover just outside the 3 pt line... i like this kid, he has something that i can't see on KP.
@@samuelwhittenburg8742 haha, I’m sure he still has an impact. But do you think high school recruits are thinking “ya I want to go to Gonzaga cause Stockton was there?” Jalen Suggs was the first top tier recruit to choose the zags. It shows the path from high school to being a top nba pick, with the upside of having a good shot at a college title
@@mikeoverend493 No, but he was the first to get the school national recognition, and give it the reputation it currently has. This reputation has carried them in their recruiting, and continues to do so today. Surre, Suggs revitalized this, but why did Suggs go to Gonzaga in the first place? Because of the reputation that Stockton built
Even though we’re losing some Zags , the team is gaining some outstanding players. I think it will be a great fit for the incoming players , I think it’s going to be another exciting season.
If he gets that weight up he a Number #1 pick. If you ask me, he's the 2022 #1 pick. I don't think it's a race but people sleep on Jaden Hardy and Paolo Banchero, they are top 3

@@austinidkneededtomakeanewa6303 he’s also an inch or 2 shorter doesn’t make up for the 50 pounds but he was just as skinny or close to this weight when he was in hs and even when he was playing with texas
@@usa4life71 yup, zags got the 3rd best recruiting class as of rn. The first time in zags history they have had a top 5 recruiting class. In 2018 they had the 130th ranked recruiting class, which tells you how far they have come in just a couple years.
He’s so skilled, but I’m just unsure about his weight, as I’m sure other people are questioning. If he plays against some other 6’10”-7’0” bigger skilled guys, not sure how he’ll hold up right away. He’s an interesting prospect though. Can handle it and can shoot it. Huge wingspan. Good luck to him. We’ll see how he handles bigger dudes.
but in response to your question you're still trying to prove yourself as a player in college. if going to the best coaching staff and roster will allow you to have the best chance at never worrying about money again you do it 10/10 times. once you get to the NBA people used to prioritize loyalty, which usually followed with a large max deal. nowadays people just want to group together, win a ring or two, then leave after they've got what they wanted and steal some insane contract after their prime days are over (LeBron being the only exception in regards to prime. that mf does not age)
Probably because stacked NCAA teams usually still lose in the tournament because it’s a 1 game elimination, but in the NBA the best team always wins because of the 7 game set up
They gonna break through and get that first national title anytime now! The way Few is building this program they could be the next UCLA, Dook, UNC ect.... if they aren't already
Will see. Reminds me of Bo Bol who is still working his way to the starting lineup in the NBA unlike a guy like Zion who is above 200lbs. Physically I do not see him performing in the NBA simply because of how much mass he has to gain. He has a shape similar to KD without the smoothness tough...He will be injury prone probably. But anyway, great talent and skills.
