CJ was much more smooth. Sid is more like Jeremi Grant.
Dave, you're right. Jerami Grant might be perfect comparison. I thing Wilson has a bit more range at this point, but not quite as strong as Grant.
Stop!!!!
You don't like it? I think it's a lot closer than Shumpert.
Jerami Grant is a freak show athletically. He is one of the best athletes in the world and that allows him to play in the NBA with less than average skills. Sid is a shooter and dunker like many kids in this era. Grant could never shoot....he didn't make a single shot his soph season. Wilson will be a kid that takes 5 treys a game or more as a soph. Shumpert was a good athlete with the same size as Sid and could really stroke it. I don't think posters understand how big the three point shot is to Sid's game.
Sid is not a shooter nor is the 3 point shot a part of his game. Over 2 seasons of travel ball (32 games) he's shot 8 of 27 from three which is just over 29%. I compared him more to Jeremi Grant because he relies more on his superior athleticism and quickness in the paint than overall skill at this stage in his development.
It is incorrect to lump his shooting in with other skills. His handle needs a ton of work...his shot is already right there. You'll see his soph season.
I'm a little confused. What are you basing this off of?
Watching him play since his freshman year.
You think a player who attempted 27 3s over 32 games, and hitting under 30% of them, is going to shoot 4+ per game? God, I hope not.
I really appreciate Marillac's passion and conviction but this one is way off. I've seen Sid in person play about 40+ games of travel ball and a handful of high school games and he's never been a deep threat and does most of his work in the paint. I even checked on Synergy today to verify a few things.
13.5% of his scoring attempts were spot up jump shots.
Out of that 13.5%....
42% no dribble
7% dribble
16% runner
30.2% to basket
5% turnover/fouled
The rest of his scoring...
31.7% in transition
16.9% offensive rebounds (put backs)
16% cuts to basket
5% iso
4.4% post up
I rewatched every 3 point attempt he's taken over the past two years and it's really safe to say it's not his game which is fine because he's a very effective scorer going to and around the basket.
