Yes, you're right; not the same.
seems sketchy

ok, I was/am pretty smitten with Alston, but if Holst (the Dane) wants in, he's an automatic take. kid is a flippin' unicorn
How about the Finn? Is he chopped liver?
Competition looks pretty bad from the highlights but you don't see a ton of fluid 7 footers like that. Guy looks like a one and done lottery pick to me just based on how the NBA is trending.

he's absolutely a take too, IMO. On very limited clips, I prefer the Dane, but both of them should make The League

His response to what schools would stand out if they offer seems quite strange, but I'll take it. Possible Denzel?

Seems like lots of prospects from Kankakee lately on both the football and basketball side. Interesting since it was mostly dormant for a long time. Cool to see since me and most of my family were all born there.

Good to see. And commute for the family to C-U for games couldn't get much easier...

the flushes aren't surprising, but his shot/range are clearly improving:
you definitely take both. add in Magnus Moller and that's a killer intro to a great joke - "Two Danes and a Finn walk into Kam's...."
wow, put him on the court with a Morez and/or Amani and teams have some difficult choices to make
Morez is under-ranked and is a clear NBA prospect already. Rare combination of size, strength, athleticism and versatile BB skills.
Could Morez and Amani play together?
1.) Smooth…. A+
2.)Shot Pocket/Release Point…A
3.) Clip is retro & grainy and it looks like it could have come from 1978….A++

I’m betting they do. Both seem more like fours but unless we bring in a transfer big they fit the five out system. Just not sure about our defensive system because we are going to sacrifice size in playing DGL and still have a problem with a big center.

What about his explosiveness rating?

Theoretically, but not in the way we play now.
Hawkins and Guerrier being good shooters makes Rodgers' weakness there much less of a problem. Rodgers and Hawkins are interesting, between them they have all the traits of a playmaking and floor-stretching PG and a true rebounding and rim protecting C, just mixed up between the two of them.
