Ajax is gonna be someone that’s severely underrated because he barely puts up any stats. His defense and BBIQ look great for a rookie and him already getting a start as a 2nd Round rookie is promising.
Black looked timid on offence tonight. I was hoping that the extra minutes he’s been getting might have given him a bit more confidence, but it looks as though he might take a while to adapt to the NBA.
Lively in 5 years from now he will be luka’s age (24)… already a game altering defender around the rim, good big defending in space, rebounder and excellent passer out of the short roll. Great lob threat as well. I wonder how good this kid can be in 5 years when he is bigger, more explosive, and with a more developed offensive game.
Lively is Tyson chandler reincarnated and he’s only 19, league should be pissing themselves rn
