Yall know how I feel about centers

You have to be damn near an elite offensive player to justify not being a solid-good rim protector and still starting

I really like Queens game but I don't think he's that kind of an offensive player

Don't see him playing the 4 in most lineups either

Idk

Yeah my whole thing is I don’t see him getting the ball to be effective like he is now at the next level

He’s not going to go anywhere and be a good enough to justify him handling the ball especially at the C position

I see him having to defend opposing 4s too

He might be in the same position as beef stew as far as being a C/PF

I agree with the white euro thing as far as his stock being higher

He would be getting top 5 consideration lol

I need to take a closer look at Maulach but Jak is not a top 10 pick.

He's this year's Reed Sheppard.

The way he moves for a 7'3 center is impressive. He plays his size and has only been playing a few years so there's hella room to grow. A few years behind jakob poetl will serve him well.

And yeah Reed Sheppard is a bum. Jakucionus has been pretty unremarkable as of late. His 3 hasn't been connecting like it was to start the season and his assists have dropped as well.

Jase>>>>>

Right now, I would take every player Beta listed over Jase. His skill set would be more valuable if he was 6’5 -6’6. Dude is most likely 6’1 - 6’2.

Maybe Izzo is holding him back and there is more playmaking in his bag, idk. Just think the NBA is moving on from the Gary Harris types.

How do you feel about Jared McCain?

I was probably more positive about McCain bcos of how weak his draft class was. In this class, he would be outside the lottery for me even knowing how well he played in his limited time as a rookie.

I think he is a better prospect than Jase bcos he has a more diverse way of getting his shot off.

Even though I am skeptical Jase will be this efficient at the rim in the NBA bcos of his size, dude does have amazing touch and could easily prove me wrong.

Plus the Izzo factor. Dude has really held the kid back by limiting his mins and usage. He might flourish with more responsibility, idk.

I am not anti Jase like I was with some prospects in the past like Keyonte. I would love to have him on my team. Just like or willing to gamble on more players in this draft class than him.

I hope I am making sense, lol

Nah I feel you...I typically stay away from small guards, it would be great if he was an inch or two taller but like his pace and feel for the game.

Izzos system and the type of team MSU has this season in general which is a very bad shooting outside of Jase do limit what he can really be imo

Like I said I agree with you and @Al G. Rhythm about the height being a concern but a lot of these guys in the mid to late lottery and beyond are bad to questionable shooters at best so if you want someone who might have some real gravity and upside offensively he would be my pick when looking at other guys who might be around that range

So u are saying Jase >>>> Saraf? Yea, i agree with u.
 
Alex Sarr has a field goal percentage of 39%, lmao. That's a center, lol.


With that been said, maybe i was wrong about Sarr. Watched him against the Bucks yesterday and i was extremely impressed. Loved how confident he was shooting that 3 point shot and how good the shot looked. On a better team construct, maybe the shot selection gets better and he becomes more efficient. Middleton will be great for him.
