With everyone becoming so proficient at 3s, the modern game suits him. Double-teams are so hard to do with shooters flaring out. You can't even have defenders "scraping" down to help, with their men behind the arc. There's no more "packing it in" to stop a post player who will find the open man if a double-team forms. If he's also a capable deep shooter, it will give the opposing coach nightmares.
People calling him the next Jokic but while there are similarities he reminds me more of a guy from the past named Bryant "Big Country" Reeves. Great college players but had kind of a journeyman NBA career. However, the 3 point shots wasn't what it is now in this era and if he can be money from the perimeter he might be able to have a better career than Reeves did.
this kid here has much more talent than reeves. reeves was more of a big body bruiser. not alot of skill or finesse with the ball. this kid here is the exact opposite. smooth as butter
Awesome video man! I can’t wait to see him in the tourney, I’ll be devastated if somehow they don’t make it. Oh and btw, my last name is Avila as well and it’s pronounced “ah-vee-la”, sorry not trying to nit pick haha. Just spreading the word lol.
If this guy puts some more muscle and cuts a bit of the body fat (i.e. keeps the weight but changes the composition) - will be a key cog on a winning team for years in the NBA. Bad teams will go for athleticism and flash because that is what they need. This guy will fall to the better teams in the 1st or 2nd round.
These young players looking like 2K custom create-a-players now lol. God's basketball player algorithm is getting bored. Make him...white...give hiiiimmmm glasses.... Just random.
I’m really glad guys like this aren’t being locked away in nursing homes anymore. This one can even play basketball - just don’t give him your car keys or ask him to read the alphabet. God bless him.
Not athletic will be the norm as shooting improves across the league. When the entire team can shoot threes people can’t double team. In a decade every game will look like a three point contest.
