5 prospects in the team of the team for NBA Draft

Chicago • The NBA Draft Combine may not have the entire flash of its NFL counter – but it is still a valuable place to get information.

Yes, of course there are measurements, the exercises, the scrimmages, the workouts. There is the NBA Draft Lottery with representatives of all teams in the Back Lottery Room and the TV Studio stage.

From a media perspective, the most interesting part of the combine was perhaps the chance to meet the prospects. Sure, everyone can watch the band, but to have the chance to interact with a young player, you can tell you a lot about how you see yourself and your career. For many, mental make -up is a valuable part of the prospect evaluation, and these interviews can be an indication of this.

Here are some of the most interesting quotes from these media meetings of the five players, who the jazz on June 25th has the highest chance of designing in 5th place.

Ace Bailey, Rutgers

How do you want to develop your game in the NBA?

“In any case, make it stronger. Make my body right for the next level so that I can take it.

Which players do you compare?

“KD (Kevin Durant), Paul George, Jayson Tatum and T-Mac (Tracy Mcgrady). But I can also see some (Carmelo Anthony) in me. I can see a little melo. We all do the same to be real. We create shots. I mean, we can shoot over defenders. We create our own space and things similar.

If a team removes them, what kind of player will they get? What kind of character can you bring to the team?

“I am a very energetic guy, love to be near me. Having fun, uplifting. Very funny. I am also a very competitive person.”

What is an underestimated part of your game?

“My death that I feel is underestimated. I feel a great passer -by. If it is time to get a bucket, it is time to get a bucket, but I feel like a good passer -by. I can dismantle this passport. If you look back, there are some games that I have done twice or three times.

How do you explain the season that Rutgers had with two of the potentially top five picks, but then the victories didn't add up?

“Life. Life. We didn't expect life, we wanted to go on. But I think life went in the other direction. Everything happens for a certain reason.”

VJ Edgecompbe, Baylor

Which team you take, what kind of player do you get?

“You will get a two-way player, man, someone who comes in the first day, ready to play, ready to hoop, which will play with all my heart for this program and the front of this jerseys are proud.”

What does a two-way player do for you in the NBA?

“It will help me a lot. I mean I will be able to play. Just being on the floor means a lot. Only on that

Who is a player whose defense you – maybe not model yourself, but do you appreciate it?

“Jrue Holiday, Lu there. You saw Lu there last night, Jrue Holiday, you have seen him in the past few years and only saw how you have defensive proud man.

What is the most underestimated part of your game?

“My capacity. I have the feeling that everyone looks at me like a defensive person, just someone who is Dunks. But I know that I can certainly offer more than that.”

This capacity that you want to show at the next level, how are you the steps to develop this part of your game further?

“Get better every day. Just work on every aspect of my game. Work on everything, every situation in which I can be, just all of this to get better.”

Tre Johnson, Texas

How do you describe your game for people who are not familiar with their game on the pitch?

“A hit player who will certainly become a two-way player.”

Do you feel more comfortable on or out of the ball as a scorer?

“Besides, it doesn't matter. Just because you really don't have anyone in training when you train alone in the gym.

How did you become a good shooter?

“I think it's more of a mental thing that it really is that it is all. Guys know how to take pictures, but if they can make the same thing again and again to make the shot, I think that this is really all if they can do the same.”

What was the feedback from teams so far?

“In every meeting, I asked in which areas I can look better, and everyone really says that they simply progress in the defensive area and simply get stronger.”

How can you as a defender improve outside the stronger starch?

“I have the feeling that more film can help me become a better defender, just know different tendencies and things like that and also become faster.”

I saw an interview in which they said they somehow didn't have many hobbies outside of the square. Can you expand that?

“This is really what it is. There is not much to explain. Everything I do is related to basketball unless I am a book, so I'm trying to expand a little in reading. But everything is related to basketball, unless I listen to music with friends, sleep and that is probably of it.”

Jeremiah fears, Oklahoma

What is the message in these team interviews you want to convey?

“Really just the Star Power that I could bring to the team, and hopefully they are looking for someone in my position.”

In the past few months, many COMPs have been thrown over them. Who do you think is what is closest or who do you try to model your game?

“I try to model my game to Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry.”

How?

“I model my game to Kyrie Irving, as he is able to get to his places and get up. You can't stop Kyrie from getting to a place. Just as Curry pulls the ball and win. And I would also say, Ant-Man (Anthony Edwards) because of his mentality. He is not afraid of any mentality.

Where do you have the feeling that you have to work the most on your game outside of the shooting consistency?

“Really, only the weight room for real – keep living in a weight room and just build my body.

What are you weighing? What do you want to weigh?

“I weigh 183, now I try to reach 190. I would not be angry with 185, but I try to reach 190.”

What is the most underestimated part of your game?

“My stealing. My anticipation is very, very good.”

Kon Knueppel, Duke

What do you bring to an NBA team about your game when you come to the next stage?

“I think I could do a lot of things on the pitch. Obviously shooting shooting translated.

What would you like to improve your game when you come to the next stage?

“Shoot the dribble and also creativity around the edge. And then there is always room for defense.”

What is an overlooked or an underestimated ability you believe that you have to consider people?

“I think how much I did on the ball screen this year and the ball screen -and -and -roll -Roll -I can be an efficient player there and be a secondary ball handler for a team.”

Who do you compare in the NBA?

“I don't try to compare myself to someone. I take a lot – I look at a lot of NBA games from many players. I know I saw a lot of Jimmy Butler, he ended the trail as he ends two feet, uses his pivots, use shot fakes. I think Klay (Thompson).

What did you take away from the playoffs? It was a really high quality basketball.

“You will choose you if you can't protect yourself. So I am just ready for it. How physically it is: these games are every day and the playoffs every day and daily differences. It was really fun to see them, but then it was pretty cool to see a few games personally and how to influence the game on the field.”
