He’s definitely been eating, lifting and putting in the work. Great to see it. He’s gonna be a monster.

Expecting him to have a really good second what as his second half of rookie year was much better - not sure I like him at SG though - think he will be better at SF if he can gain more weight

if his 3 hold up he’s going to be a good nba player - how good we may know next year

Dylan will be an all star and TBD if he can be a super star - need more time to determine it he’s at least going to be an all star

I think Ace has a higher ceiling (no pun intended) with just natural gifts and the raw talent to be an all timer (if the shot holds and the mental side of the game comes together).

Agree on Dylan - I think his floor is bigger, stronger Jalen Brunson (despite all he’s accomplished, I still struggle to think of JB as a superstar), but better than SGA is also a realistic outcome for him as well.

I think JB has to be considered a super star as he was the best player in the finals including Wemby

I’m not a big SGA fan - guy gets so many calls like harden padding stats

What’s better? Basically anything is better than a visit from a guy who didn’t listen to coaching, played iso ball and didn’t care about winning here and just played a season because the NBA made him.

A visit from a Rutgers legend would be better. Like Ron or Geo.

How exactly do you know if he was not listening to coaching and didn't care about winning? You in his head or talk to him on the daily? Or perhaps you're just a bitter j-off who likes to assassinate people's character for the fun of it all to ruin it for others in what is just supposed to be a feel good thread?

Total BS. Pikiell and his staff had no idea how to use him. They had a guard hand him the ball 28 feet from the basket and expect him to create a shot on his own. Utah demonstrated how he should be used last year, coming off screens for quick shots or drives to the basket. I know first hand Ainge and the coaching staff in Utah absolutely love him, and Ace eagerly did everything they asked of him.

Not sure I’ve seen many guys who just love basketball (or Rutgers) as much as him.

NBA offense is exponentially more sophisticated than what RU was doing. He probably learned more about offense in in a month with Utah than he did in a whole season here. Same with Dylan in San Antonio.
