Moderators Gerry Hamilton Posted May 7 Moderators Posted May 7 This was when Johnson and Khamenia were seniors, and Sterling a junior... Isaiah Johnson easily the best player on the floor. Like not even close Johnson was a 3* and Nik Khamenia the 5* and McDonald's AA ... I'll say it again, Johnson is going to be a first round pick in 2027 or 2028 IMO Joe Sterling has some Fletcher Loyer in him, if his foot quickness is close enough to Loyer to be able to hold his own defensively. Can flat out shoot it, more comfortable with ball than given credit for. 6 Quote

Joe can go... he just needs to get stronger. 2 Quote
harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 A lot of mechanical work to do on his jumper. Shoots from his right ear. 1 Quote

harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 It's coaching malpractice. Without being some kind of freak athlete, you can't expect to overcome funky mechanics. Quote
harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) We'll see how well he shoots with that low release point when he has some long athletes defending him. Edited May 8 by harveycmd Quote
harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Remember last year at this time they were talking about Declan Duru's leaping ability and shooting. Said he couldn't move laterally and had zero elevation on his jumper. Quote
harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Why claim fundamentals don't matter when you can double down with speech? Quote
harveycmd Posted May 8 Posted May 8 (edited) 56 minutes ago, Tres Comas said: Why make one dumb post when you can make 3 🤷♂️ Sterling literally releases the ball from about two inches above his ear. He's losing at least ten to twelve inches on his release point if he shot properly. That's not good form no matter how you define it. Doesn't matter what his percentage is in high school.
