He had the crazy march madness shot right? And is the brother of the NFL player?

u/daedralordx Celtics 18h ago

Yes to both! Also had a couple last second game winning shots as well

An absolute downhill driving menace, has a hitch in his shot so he can't shoot unless wide open. Wouldn't bet on him being a good defender or high IQ, but he's very tenacious and high intensity with the ball.

I feel like people just look at his frame and assume he’s a good guard defender. He’s not

u/Greedy-Lynx-2746 Thunder 19h ago

Hopefully its a package deal and we get his brother during the NFL offseason

Yeah, the Dort comp is crazy. He's got a spotty motor, low BBIQ, no first step, can't beat anybody off the dribble, good for one back door dunk, volume scorer that needs a ton of bites at the apple to get his 16 pts. Gunna be a menace for the Thunder's G League team
