I really like Deanondraft but disagree with him 100% on this. The entire message behind everything in this article was, "NCST sucked, therefore, it proves that DSJ will suck in the NBA"
Are we going to start holding Washington losing on Fultz now? We all knew how talented NCST this year, but we really can't sit here and tell me his teammates didn't underachieve, and sucked. Omer Yurtseven was a highly touted player who was being mocked in 1st rounds before the season started. He ended up averaging a whooping 6pts/4.4rebs on 45.7% FG. Complete disappointment..the guy looked lost 90% of the time.Their 2nd best player was Malik Abu who's an undersized C with limited offense aside from power post ups. He offers very little on D. No respectable shotblockers on their team. They had BJ Anya, but that guy regressed and just kinda fell out of the rotation. 3rd best player was Maverick Roman who's your typical college 3pt shooter that offers absolutely nothing else to the table(he's going pro in Europe now after only his So. year). Almost nobody on that NCST team could create their own shot. Their entire offense lived and died with DSJ.
Theoretically that outcome is within grasp, but I would bet heavily against it. While he has talent to fill the box score, he has shown poor intuition for making a positive impact on his team.
This is really funny. When was the last time that scoring 18pts made for a negative impact? Or what about his 6.2asts? Ball hogs and blackholes don't average 6asts/game. I never knew assists were negatives.
DSJ shined in-spite of his teammates. In regards to his lack of elite skillset, DSJ got to the line better than any other PG
