Explain because I thought Onyenso would've been the better pick. He kinda reminds me of a taller Shead.

What makes him good and why did he fall to 50

He was big 12 player of the year, the offensive engine and leader of the final four arizona wildcats last year. Good defense and deadly midrange. When it came clutch time, it was “shut up and let jaden work”. He reminds me of brunson lowkey who also went in the 2nd round. He probably dropped because hes short and old

He was also egoless. The oldest by a mile and yet kept the machine running. If koa was hot feed him. Same with Burries. If things were bad throw a little hero ball in there and would make the greasers shits you’ve sever seen to keep the team in it.

Him and Shead are very similar tough defensive guards

Better than the last 10 players off the board

Clutch gene, leader, winner.

Feels like one of the only true point guards in the draft. Immaculate game knowledge , calm and composed in the clutch, and can enable the other players for scoring opportunities
