    Is this our Pascal Siakam?
    I see more double team on Dame forcing Little to shoot.
    Team should hire the best shooting coach they can find. 1000 shots per day for 6 months should get him right.
    Can we draft a Euro shooter next?

    Does that mean he'll be put into the corner on offense to shoot threes?

    The good,
    Little already has elete D and rim area skills.

    The not so good.
    Shooting, which can be improved with coaching.
    Reports of a low BBIQ "may" be missleading. He did not start at UNC due to seniors that knew the game, thus Little came off of the bench. Little appears to be coachable, and has a lot to learn about the game. I'm not sold on the low BBIQ reports.

    He is a project, with a high ceiling, and tons of potential. A reasonable low risk vs high reward gamble @ 25.

    My god, I want him so badly to be acceptable on offense and truly be that lock down wing 3 we've needed for so long.

    I can’t believe anyone on this board would be upset about Little at 25! He has top 10 potential out of anyone in this draft.

    I honestly believe that very soon...

    Little/Collins > Hark/Chief (and it’s not close)

    And anyone who wanted Bol Bol over Little I’ll take any bet that Bol is hurt at some point this season and will barely sniff the court when healthy. He’s a MASSIVE project. Little has tools that translate today.

    I remember before the season I was like man I kinda wish we’d suck enough to land one of this years wings and Little was near the top because I love guys that play with swagger. He’s not a finished product but I wouldn’t be surprised if he challenged for playing time early. He’s so talented.

    Little’s ceiling is Kawhi/PG/Butler and his floor is Crowder/Carroll/Crash... if we split the difference he could be the next Iggy

    I’m really happy... I didn’t think him falling was a real possibility (it’s why I put him 5th on my slippers big board). Other than Hunter he was my favorite wing prospect.

    At the :59 mark on that video, the announcer says Portland Trailblazers out of nowhere. That was weird.

    Mike Schmitz from ESPN has a Jaylen Brown body comparison.
