Same as a lefty swing in baseball... This kid seemed smooth with his shooting for sure.

There's something about a left handed jump shot that fascinates me.

We're talking about Walters, correct? I actually never paid attention, but that is unique. He's got a pretty versatile skillset that I think will be great under Oats and Pannone. I worry about how he matches up defensively and how he can close driving lanes.

Kris Parker is intriguing because his recruitment ranking fluctuated. But his tape shows you that while he's raw, he's got great potential. Good length that can be a solid on-ball defender and another body to dominate the boards. His scouting report said he's comfortable going left and right when attacking the basket. That was my biggest critique of Bradley's game last season that he became really pedestrian when driving left and automatically looking for a kick out. Guessing Parker's jump shot isn't great and might be prone to turnovers.

We'll see. There will definitely be freshman moments, but these two excite me the most. I'm hopeful Mouhamed Dioubate can be a Juwan Gary.
