He has to stay in the gym but has what it takes to be real successful in the league

The 42 inch vertical isn’t showing up functionally in game. I’m not saying Reed is unathletic. His hand-eye coordination is incredible, so is his timing. But he undoubtedly has limitations in traffic or against length handling and finishing at times, for example

@FloorandCeiling Did you watch his blocks when he played for Kentucky?

Yeah, he played well but he shot 35.7% from the field as a big (no problem in Summer League). The most noteworthy aspect of Clingan's SL experience imo is that he took 3.2 threes a game and made 3/13. If you've followed FLOOR and CEILING for a while, you'll know just how high I've been on Clingan ever since he got to college.

Good positional size for sure. Should shoot the ball well both off the catch and off the bounce. I actually wanna see him shoot spot-ups at a higher clip.

They objectively exist.

I think he deserves a bigger chance in the NBA.

Liked him as a late second round or UDFA out of Miami last draft. Not really sure where he fits with the Clippers despite being very productive. Same question I have about someone like Jalen Wilson, who was also really good in SL. Role is everything.

Thanks as always!

He played incredibly well, but only 3 games so that's what kinda tilted it towards some of these other guys. Pound for pound, Da Silva was better than Furphy or Buzelis. He'll be good for Orlando.

Appreciate it as per usual! On Castle, I thought he looked relatively solid in the California Classic. Only played a game in Vegas before his wrist injury unfortunately. It was cool to see the Spurs let him play with the ball in his hands, which didn't happen as much as UConn. I wanna keep seeing more.

He'll be featured in my next video.

Part 2?

23 years old. like tristan too. u expect that outcome from them against 19-21y guys.

I thought Knecht ended up having a decent Summer League, but I didn't really come away super impressed while I was watching the Lakers. As you said, it was a rougher context. No real point guard and sort of an unbalanced roster. Lots of guys were forcing the issue, so it kinda stood out when Knecht, Bronny, or Colin Castleton played in the flow of the offense (something I wish Maxwell Lewis had ended up doing more of). But even then, Knecht shot 34.2% from three and 36.7% from the field (6 games). It's a tiny sample size, so I'm not reading too much into it and I remain high on him (especially for the Lakers) but I expected a bit more.

Memphis in general had a handful of guys who played really well. With Jaylen Wells, I think one of the main concerns was probably how much improvement he has left (started off at Sonoma State in D-2) but he shot the lights out at Washington State. In my final big board, I had him as in the "idealistic but actually shaky potential" range, which was in the mid-to-late second next to guys like Nikola Durisic or Ulrich Chomche.

Appreciate you!

Been playing well in Summer League so far.

He's a number one option type guy.

I think so yeah. Check out the full video clipped to the short and I get into his full game a bit more!

@@FloorandCeiling Thanks.

I believe that he's the best prospect in American basketball right now.

Philly has the chance to get really high value from Edwards. Had top 5 buzz, including from myself, before his freshman season. There's talent there. Needs to find his NBA role.

It's a shame that we won't see him in Summer League as he recovers from a shoulder injury.

Year 1 should be about learning and G League minutes. Then hopefully by the end of his second season, Bona can start getting some NBA minutes.

Appreciate you man!

Signed Daniel Theis today, as well.

Let's see how he plays.

Buzelis is the G League Ignite prospect who plays more like Odom imo

Handle and self-creation as a whole is the biggest improvement point.

Great value for the Knicks late in the second. Thanks for watching!

Definitely. One recent example is Peyton Watson.

Hometown kid too

Shot around 39% from three in his last year of high school, when he was a top 20 prospect by ESPN, also mocked in the top 10 by ESPN, a McDonald’s All American, a Nike Hoop Summit selection, elevated to a five star status by some reputable outlets, and already being monitored by NBA teams.

@@FloorandCeiling you have a link to these statistics, because I've looked and haven't been able to find anything

I’m with you

High value pick for the Suns. I highlighted them as one of the biggest winners of the draft in my latest video!

I've been a fan of Reeves since last season. I highlighted him before the start of this draft cycle in my best returning juniors and seniors video. Glad he got a second round look. Fits really well next to Zion potentially.

Totally agreed. Thought they deserved a mention. Thanks for watching.

Considering the picks they had (28 and 40) and the team's roster, I think they could not have done better.

I’m high on their draft for sure. Like I said, I think all of those guys have a legitimate chance of contributing as rookies.

​@@alvaromartinez-cachero1231They really made the most with what they had. They actually only started with having pick 22 and traded down grabbing a few picks out of it.
