Coby White to the Draft

Exactly. And he was a freaking PG at UNC.
Looking at the NBA assist leaders this year, 13 of the top 15 average at least 15ppg and 10 of the top 15 average at least 20ppg.
All of these PGs score now and are usually score first. That is the point guard position now. The word "combo guard" is basically describing every player under 6'6''.
Oh really? Here's you, less than 8 months ago:

You wanna take back that statement?
Yup. You think the Lakers regret trading DeAngelo Russell, a scoring PG and drafting true PG Lonzo Ball? I think they do. I would.
Pretty ironic too that they could have had Tatum, who in all likelihood will be the centerpiece of the AD trade, instead of picking Ball.
And they were idiots for making it known to the world that they wanted Ball cuz Boston knew it could trade back to 3 to get Tatum and not worry about LA.
Your trolling works, just as it has all season. Here goes this thread down the shitter. . You kids are really getting old!.
Coby's strength coming in was his finishing/scoring ability, and it is still his top attribute. His motor, speed, and attack mode ability was his calling card. Elite level !!!! With his wingspan and size there were and are questions on how that will translate in the league. Bigger, longer bodies to finish over. Hence high 4 star/ low 5 star ratings.
His ability to run point coupled with his shoting ability at range has made him very attractive. If he is a 6'5 short armed attack the rim guy playing the 2 his strength of attacking the bucket is a question on translating to the League.
The fact that he has shown the other parts is what makes his ability to finish as a plus. Lillard and McCollum who were referenced shoot LIGHTS OUT, and can finish.
The take of questioning his finishing ability compared to them or others is the point. If that was all that his game was perceived as still, the league would be tepid. With the other elements he showed, finishing is a major plus to a NBA type all around game for his size and length, which gives him the look of a a top 10 pick type area.

Quality player and even more so, quality young man. Go live out your dreams big man! Also, the #FMF says so much about Coby!
One thing I think we can ALL agree on..........................................
Coby should have had a ton more "and 1" than he got! His strength cost him a lot of calls he should have got at the rim.
Now let's all talk about Coby and drop the gary crap. We all expressed our concerns during the season about gary dissin Coby and he never apologized, to late now so lets move on.

Dang Mike, you conveyed in one sentence exactly what I've been trying to spit out with my weak writing skills. Bingo, I too think it was because of his strength and lack of flopping that cost him some foul calls. Thanks
I don’t think flopping works unless you’re a dookie. Joel got knocked down for real a lot and rarely got a call.
I somewhat agree, but JB also imo used his body to fall away from contact, as most smaller players seem to do. Not a knock, just a diff style.
First mock with him going to Chicago with the #4 pick. Some whispers about my Bulls maybe being interested in giving Coby and Garland hard looks at guard, along with the top wings Hunter, Culver, and Reddish, if they stay at the projected #4 overall
