I think hes a very risky pick, but one of the few guys in the class who can become an all star
We don't need another 6th man like Luke kennard. And look at donovan mitchell now. We do this every year
I think that’s the best way to describe him. If his jumpshot is actually as bad as the stats suggest it would be tough for him to be a good player in the league but his form looks functional
@@calebgothro247 if it gives you any more confidence about him, He did shoot 45% from 3 in high school.
@@Htiy That makes things worse imo. His shooting dropped significantly when his level of competition increased. I think that's a really bad sign. The level of competition will increase quite a bit more from G-League to NBA too. I don't think that's a positive at all.
or be the biggest bust in nba history
Great video, have you ever thought of making a video about the best fits, for the teams that are in the lottery
The one game I saw him in was a tight one in which he got to the rebounds and loose balls quickly, to me a very important quality. I sense he will go surprisingly high.
Love the take. His athleticism, fluidity, and touch on his shot definitely pass the eye test imo. He’s not the same, but I don’t think he’s miles away from Cooper Flagg, either. Lots of potential as a 19 year old kid.
He'll be a good perimeter defender. Dude is not mainly looking to score, but he can do that easily. He said he looks up to McDaniels, and that says a lot about him. I really hope he ends up in a good system, because only then will we see his true value in the long term. If he goes to a team looking for an instant superstar, they will burn this talent. As a basketball country known for its fundamentals, I think Lithuania can vouch for him being really talented.

Thanks so much! Glad to have you 👊
1 minute into the video and already earned sub. Great content/structure.
Hes a Blazer. I definitely didn't sneak into a Washington Wizards game in September 2018
I think he is going to be kinda like Andrei Kirilenko
Look forward to see how he grows with an nba strength training program and some high level coaches to dial in his skills. Think at very least will be a solid role player.
#4 to San Antonio Spurs
Keldon Johnson's replacement for my Spurs for sure.
Cause where will he ho
No
I think he goes to Detroit at #5
Spurs at 4.
Star ⭐️
Could he go to Houston at 3 or is that to high?
Possible. But I have to question if they'd pass on Risacher in favor of Buzelis. It's very possible, but Risacher is typically rated higher.
Derek, a question I always pose; Where would Ousmane go if he were in this draft? This something that will influence OKC.
Since I feel Risacher will be gone by #3, Im seeing Buzelis fit pretty well with this rockets core. Amen, Green, Buzelis, smith Jr., and Sengun, Tari, and whitmore to work along our Veterans. LFG
Reminds me of franz
matas...YOU ARE a detroit piston
The problem with Matas is he doesnt know what he wants to be in offense. In life if you are not really good, you have to have an ELITE skill to be a good foundation for a succesful career. Same goes for Matas in basketball.
He's 19
Do Risacher
He’s giving a taller young Paul George
I could see someone trading up to get him I think sarr or this guy could go # 1
I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I don't buy into his upsides. And right now his efficiency is abysmal. There are many lottery prospects who need to improve 1-2 areas of their game to become positive contributors in the NBA. I feel Buzelis needs to improve almost in all areas. And even if he does, I feel there are higher upside players in this class. He is a solid lottery pick but he would be at the bottom of the lottery for me (9-14th pick).
Spurs at 4 if Castle is off the board
Poor man's Scottie Barnes
