New Orleans Pelicans Draft Yves Missi
Since for some reason a thread about our pick Yves Missi turned into a comparison of Nikola Jokic with Kyle freaking Filipowski...
That's a very interesting graph. In every category except rebounds, prospect Missi is better than prospect Allen was.
Graham said, [2;36 into the video I posted] "he picks things up really, really quickly and so with his intelligence and just raw natural ability ... we're happy that he fell to 21".
Griff said, [3:01 on the same video] "the speed at which he picks things up are incredible and when you look at an athlete with his size and the way he tested for us are very rare ... whats exciting about Yves is we feel like the likelihood that he reaches his ceiling is better than alot of those people [drafted on tools] because of what he's shown already for his propensity to get better quickly".
He goes on to talk about how impressed they were with his workout and more.
Bottom line being, if the Pels assessment of Yves is accutate, this guy may have a higher ceiling higher than Allen's. Of course, that all has to be proven.
