We want to watch Zion Williamson at Duke and say, that's the guy we got to have.
You look at the handles of a player.
That's what made Kyrie Irving special.
Kyrie Irving is the best ball handler I've ever seen.
He is great with the basketball.
Allen Iverson, speed, electricity, did a lot of things special.
Jalen Brunson, coming out of college, did not do a lot of things special.
What he does special is he's got great feet.
And watch some of these games.
Watch game two tonight.
Watch how he gets the basket.
Watch how he changes direction.
Watch how he gets his shot up.
How does this guy, who is 6'2", get his shot over guys that are 6'6", 6'7", sometimes shooting over bigger guys?
His ability to do that comes down to footwork, and he's excellent, excellent at that, and that's what makes him special.
Yeah, Dylan.
Yeah, I think the kind of like initial critiques of small guards is similar to quarterbacks in the NFL where there's sort of like these unwritten rules that you can be below a certain height, but then there's like the Drew Breeses and the Russell Wilsons, to use the Brunson thing, that come along and kind of
disprove that.
I mean, even Steph, I think at first people were like, he's a little small.
Two point guards were drafted over Steph Curry.
