Marquette NBA Thread

That is why Sam never made it on an NBA roster.

But just in case your eyes are bothering you today, I specifically said 'combo guard'.

Jeez, this is worse than comparing him to Bradley Beal and Victor Oladipo.

Sam Hauser is 6'8" and shot .439 from 3 in college. That's why he's in the NBA.

Kam Jones is 6'4" and shot .366. (It only goes up to .382 if you exclude the last year playing point.) Unless he becomes a knock-down shooter, his future in the NBA as a PG.

Again read my post. I literally said, and I quote "But in the end, his future in the league will depend on making shots".

If he can't play point he won't be in the NBA long. He isn't athletic enough to be off the ball.

So you think he isn't athletic enough to play against '2' guards. But he is to play against the likes of Curry, Brunson, Harden, Trae Young, Lemelo, SGA, D'Aaron Fox, Luka, etc.?

He will be a combo guard who plays at both spots if, as I said, he shoots it well enough (36% - 40%). And the jury is still out on that.

You're the one who brought up Sam Hauser, who is a very different player. Don't get mad that I pointed out how bad that comparison was.

No. I actually don't think he's an NBA player.

Right. Kam will get a cup of coffee too.

Lawyered.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I think he will be a combo guard - mostly off the ball. He is exactly the same height as guys like Bradley Beal, Jordan Clarkson, and Victor Oladipo who mostly played the '2'. An inch taller than Marcus Smart. I also think Kam's strength is underrated and he will be physical enough to play with NBA '2' guards.

But in the end, his future in the league will depend on making shots and he has clearly shown he is a better shooter playing off the ball - much better at catch-and-shoot than shooting off the dribble.

Your NBA takes are...something

I think Kam will have a NBA career. More than a cup of coffee - which is how I'd describe Jerel McNeal's "career" - but probably mostly an end-of-bench guy, like Diener mostly was.

I'll sure be rooting for him.
