Gotta be chaz or maxime.
Itāll be Chaz. Weāve done a ton of work on him.
Good playerā¦I donāt see him sticking at the NBA level.

Chaz it is.
Dang, Iām used to the NFL draft going to commercial when Detroit picks and now the NBA does the sameā¦
Not shocked literally at all
Listening to Bilas talk about him curious why you donāt think he will stick in the NBA? @HSVLion
Make baskets is good. I donāt think he is a bad fit. Gives us someone to keep the D honest. Probably thatās it until we see otherwise.
Because second rounders usually donāt stick around for more than 3 or 4 years, and itās even more rare that they actually contribute for their 3 or 4 years within an organization.
Itās like the 7th round of the NFL draft.
If he can shoot consistently from 3 then heāll get a spot on the roster this fall.
Ok.
I thought you had more reasoning beyond ā2nd round players are long shotsā.
Shooting consistently seems to be his main skill
Thereās just tons of players with his profile that never end up doing anything of note in the NBA.
Also, I know this is going to sound stupid, but the NBA really is a different game than college basketball is, especially in the regular season. Thereās plenty of great college players that donāt really fit into the NBA game well, which is often why they donāt stick around.
Broome is a prime example of that. Luka Garza was like that too.
But then, of course, thereās players like Jalen Brunson, who everyone projects to be a āgood college player ā bad NBA playerā that actually become a really good NBA player.

Taking a guy with a consistent shot like Chaz is the right pick in the 2nd round most of the time. Guys with higher floors.

Yea, NBA hasnāt changed that much in the regard you speak of.
I stopped following early 2000ās and Iām not counting on much with this kid.
Really depends on his shooting ability, from Bilas commentary sounds like he moves well without the ball as well. But, not much said on his defense.
Oh wellā¦on to a boring British tv show.
Well, no one foresaw the value of the flopping skill Brunson has, elite level.

When in doubt, take the shooter

I forgot Alijah Martin was still on the board. I like him.
Chaz is great though.
Ironically three of the second round successes over the last decade in Middleton, Dinwiddie and Bruce Brown were all dumped by the Pistons.

Yeah I know right. LOL.
Although Bruce Brown was really only āgoodā for a season or two.
