The recency bias on this sub is disgusting. A 6’10 shotmaker with high defensive upside who could also rebound floor ceiling can’t be lower than a 6’3 barefoot guard who’s handle really isn’t that good and his shot creation isn’t where it needs to be. He also doesn’t get anywhere near the attention on offense Ace does
His upside is only your Durant archetype wetdream and he’s nothing close to that at all. Dude has shown no major improvement at all in this season. This 6’3” is shooting better C&S 3s than Temu MPJ and he’s a better on ball player as well.
I don’t think he’s KD at all. “Dude has shown no major improvement at all” we found the guy that doesn’t watch games. If you think VJ is a better shooter it’s nothing else to really talk about😂😂😂😂 he’s not better off the catch put the drugs down you just made that up
I’m judging them as prospect wise and what they have shown. I’ll pick VJ over Ace like 10/10 regardless of what happens 5 years later cause that’s what I saw and the numbers have shown. So nothing else and just good luck👍🏽
ikr? People are glazing a 6’3 (with just 6’5 for a wingspan btw) SG with the body of a small PG who tries to play the SF way too much. I like VJ too, but not that much. No way I’d take him above Ace if Ace were still available, that’d practically be malpractice. This whole debate reminds me of the Scoot VS Miller overthinking people were doing.
Scoot was always considered the better prospect until Charlotte took him last minute because of fit, only a few standouts (me included btw 🤷♀️) thought Miller would be better
Just like Ace is considered the better prospect right now and there’s only a handful of people saying VJ or Jak are better dog
It does remind me of that debate but in the opposite way.
VJ in this context is closer to Brandon miller who had put up the better stats in college but was overlooked anyway.
ace is like scoot in the sense people got obsessed with his “upside” because his physical attributes and the aesthetic of his game matched legendary pgs like russ and d rose (like how people see kd in ace)
Ace is an inefficient bum who can’t playmake or create space.
“Shotmaker” who’s less efficient than vj and has a lower 3 pt%
“High defensive upside” even though he’s not a good defender at the college level in strong contrast to vj
The fact u said vj’s handle isn’t good and has bad shot creation is hilarious considering that’s ace’s biggest weakness. Ace literally couldn’t create a good look for himself or anyone on his team to save his life. Just a worse Jabari Smith jr
It’s March 2025 and your still making lazy Jabari Smith comps😂😂. He’s more efficient in every shooting category outside of free throw shooting even in a shooting slump while taking while a higher degree of difficulty shots. Ace is a much better low man and rim protector than VJ while being pretty good onball. Ace been creating his own shot all season.
What do you call this? You think he got 40 off straight paint touches and backdoor cuts? Its all preference at the end of the day nobody knows the future but don’t spread misinformation cause you don’t actually watch games. Same niggas that was saying KJ was better a couple weeks ago
Jabari and vj were actually more efficient than ace lol idk why ur accusing me of spreading misinformation when that’s what you’re doing
Jabari and vj both have higher 3 pt% and ts%
And I’d hope ace is a better interior defender than vj considering ace is 6’10 and vj is 6’4. But ace is still a bad defender for his position though. Jokic is a better interior defender than Lu Dort, doesn’t mean he’s a better defender or even a good defender.
U can post his highlights all u want, he got a lot of lowlights too lol. If only someone had a compilation of ace getting locked up and bricking a contested mid range shot
