He's gone a lot of potential, for sure. Not sure how much PT he gets this season but he'll get some and will be a different player toward the end of the season...but he'll still be skinny. Lol! He sure struck a pose after the long 3 from top of the key area. I just hope he doesn't do that in a real game. Go block out, kid...or be ready to grab a board. I'm sure it felt good when it left his hand but still..

Otherwise, I think he did great and has a very high ceiling. He has a bright future ahead, imo. He'll have his chances this season and we'll see how he does.

Didn't he re-classify...so very young?

Tayshaun was ranked the 12th best national player in high school by rivals, Hawthorne was a 4 star, so he would have to pull an SGA to get up there with Tayshaun. But I see the comparison.

Let's just hope that at the end of the season, we are still comparing him to the smooth Tashaun Prince.

Long way from that. Good to know the fanbase still killing it with hyperbole though lol
So it’s hyperbole coming from an NBA scout working UK’s Pro Day?:

“ When I say he reminds me of Tayshaun Prince, I mean he really reminds me of Tayshaun Prince — and I saw Tayshaun Prince at the same stage. He’s a kid that may not get on the floor as much as he could if you’re trying to win games now, but he’ll be high on my radar for next year.”
