Our #2s Vs Late Rounders

projections are usually about physical maturation, imo. how much more physical growth/strength do ingram and ball have in them? some, maybe. i actually think kuz might have one more gear, but hart's optimal now in that regard. but age doesn't enhance eye-hand coordination, which is why ingram can't shoot the long ball. and ball's mental blocks are still a bit troubling (he looks less than confident at the rim, from deep, and at the ft line).

if pressed, i'd take the late picks. could be a recency effect given that neither ball nor ingram have shown me anything new this year (yes, limited sample).

in terms of who are the best players overall right now:

ball
hart
kuz
ingram

 

This is tough. Right now if you want offense Hart and Kuz are better, but defensively it’s Ingram and and Ball. I think Ingram and Ball have a better chance of getting better offensively than the other two would on the defensive side. I could be wrong but based on that I go with Ball and Ingram. Plus those two have displayed better playmaking skills overall.
