Jefferson Video

Damn Impressive Video. I knew he was the best player in all of Canada, and about a 3.5/3.75/Low Ended 4 star. I knew he had the height, weight, body, frame, NBA Athleticism, at 6ft 3 in, as a cross between a Gary Payton type(6ft 4), Allen Iverson 6-1), I knew he could shoot at a very high percentage, and could handle the ball well, good lateral speed, the ability to Juke, crossover, break ankles, slash, drive, beat defenders off the dribble, attack the basket, score lay ups, dunks, floaters, runners, etc, I knew he was or should be considered a POTENTIAL FUTURE POTENTIAL NBA PROSPECT. I am just not sure whether he would go in the 1st or 2nd round, or as a signed undrafted free agent, or as a NBA G League, or CBA or Overseas, before making it to NBA. Also know there is a chance that he wont pan out as a prospect, as PG's can be, probably are the biggest unknown, Toss up as to who is likely a Prospect, and who is not, usually because size, and there have been high scoring, high assist PG that sure seem like a FOR SURE DEAL to make the NBA and dont. They are kind of like the QB's, because QB's are also hard to tell if they are gona make it to the NFL or not.
This kid, guy, sure looks, seems the part. I knew he was extremely good.
But I didnt know he was, is THIS, THAT GOOD. I disnt know that he had people, probably a combination of players, fans, coaches, scouts, pros, NBA, ahents, etc, telling him he was a 1 and done NBA PROSPECT like OJ Mayo who was also a 6ft 3 combo PG/SG 1 and done.
I also wondered why he was rated lower. And why WSU was able to get him, and why more people, Duke types, werent interested.
Well now I, we all know now. It was of course a near EFE like INJURY.
If it wasnt for the injury, he probably would have been a 1,2,3 and done, 4/4.5/5 star, 1st or 2nd round NBA Draft pick.
Also I dont think Koulibaly is lying, or wrongly thinks more of himself then he really is or was, and I dont think people were lying to him, and I think he is smart enough to aee thru people if they were to try to BS him, and I think the kid had, and still does have good people around him.
Because of the injury to him his Freshman Year, I wasnt sure if that would slow him down or hold him back enough to make the NBA or Not.
But after seeing that, this Video, I rhink Koulibaly is a extremely NBA athleticism, talent, skill, potential, and probably is a NBA Prospect.
There is probably at least 1,2,3, 4 NBA Prospects on this team in, out of either Gueye(Official projected(Not by me Lottery Pick), Noah, Koulibaly, Efe, Dischon. They wont all goto the NBA all in the same year. They will probably continue the recent trend of about 1 WSU NBA Prospect, pro, NBA player per every about every 2,3,4,5 years.
WSU could easily have either a Junior or Senior goto the NBA every about every 1,2,3 years over the next 1,2,3,4 years.
At Ultimate Extreme Minimum, WSU has at least Gueye a Lottery pick Prospect, and 1 of the other 4 above mentioned players as a Prospect.
Thats how loaded WSU is.
And Damn I knew Koulibaly was extremely good, might, maybe even future, potential, future, potential NBA Prospect in the future.
But DAMN I didnt know Koulibaly is as good as the video says, shows, etc.
Wow!
And to make things clear a POTENTIAL FUTURE POTENTIAL FUTURE NBA PROSPECT is a player who is good enough, has a high enough UPSIDE, CEILING, ON PAPER POTENTIAL, NBA ATHLETICISM, Skill, Talent, etc, that they might probably, could, would, should make it to the NBA at some future point, by either NBA Draft, Signed undrafted Free Agent, NBA G League, The CBA, the overseas route to the NBA.
But just because that is the players ON PAPER POTENTIAL, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO REACH THEIR ON PAPER POTENTIAL.
Also already some of the above mentioned Prospects are BETTER then Retired Former NBA Pro Craig Ehlo. Noah, and Koulibaly, if they were to hop into a time machine and either play with or against Craig Ehlo, they would have destroyed Ehlo, and would have started over Ehlo
So thats another reason why they are POTENTIAL FUTURE POTENTIAL FUTURE NBA PROSPECTS.
So good to see Koulibaly ready to go. There were a lot of expectations placed so excited to see what he can do next season. I still wonder what's his primary position? Is he a point guard? More off the ball? The defensive potential with Koulibaly, Williams, and Efe on the court at the same time is intriguing.
Flowers is going to be the starting PRIMARY DISTRIBUTOR. He is such a GOOD PG, and at 6' 1, he really doesnt have the Height to play SG.
Koulibaly can, would, should, be able to do both of being TIED with Tyrell Roberts(5ft 11 in PG), for the #1 Back Up PG, AND do both of either Platooning, Situational, Rotational, Limited Starting at the 2 Spot, making Noah start at the 3 spot like the 6ft 4 Capers did, and being the #1 Back Up. I am pretty sure this will not be a problem for either Tyrell Roberts or Koulibaly, because next year they know or should know that Flowers is GONE after this coming season, and that Smith is unlikely to go out and get another JC, Grad Transfer PG like a Flowers. They should know that the reason why Smith got Flowers, Tyrell Roberts was because of the unknown uncertainty of Koulibaly coming off injury, as he probably assumed that Koulibaly wasnt ready yet. Now he knows Koulibaly is ready. So if Koulibaly stays healthy, and develops, progresses like he should, thete should be no need for another Flowers next year. Also since Flowers had a Medical Redshirt, he still has his FULL ELIGIBILITY. I think Koulibaly is willing to wait 1 year to be the MAN at either the PG spot or SG Spot the next season after this coming season. And he Koulibaly will get PLENTY OF MINUTES.
Noah will probably bounce back and forth between starting at the 2 and 3 spots, BOTH, depending on the situation. But Noah will ALWAYS be a STARTER. A lot also depends on what happens at the 3 spot. There could be EXTREMELY FIERCE competition at the 3 spot between Gueye, AJ, Rodman, Kim, that could push Noah back to starting at the 2 spot, and cutting into Koulibaly's minutes. But even if that happens Koulibaly still gets a LOT of Minutes as a back up.
The 4 spot will likely start EFE, either Gueye or AJ behind EFE, unless Gueye plays the 3 or ends up behind Dischon at the 5 spot.
I think I now understand how Jrue Holiday was drafted from UCLA, despite only scoring about 7/7.5/8/8.5 ppg as a PG, as he was probably on a team as STACKED as WSU is now.
Expect a 8/9/8.5/9.5/10/10.5 man rotation depending on the teams, match ups situation. Which is the Deepest WSU Rotation in at least a very long time or maybe in all of WSU history.
This team will DEFINITLY have FRESH legs, players.
Again ypu EXXAGGERATE What I said like you ALWAYS do. I did mention a LOT of other things. You did catch the part where Koulibaly said in the interview that he was CONSTANTLY told OVER AND OVER that BEFORE BEFORE his EFE EFE like Injury, that he was a 1 and DONE Prospect. Now he didnt say who it was. But I dont think he is lying, wrong. I dont think he is in error and wrongly thinks he is better then he really is. I dont think he has been deceived, BS ed, I do think he is smart enough to see throught, and I do think he has good people around him that would help him see thru that kind of BS. I think its likely that a COMBINATION of Coaches, Agents, PROs, NBA Scouts, NBA Coaches, Media, Fans, etc, called him a 1 and done because he probably was on the 1 and done path to the NBA at 1 point. I think he was a 1 and done on path to NBA, and Probably was or would have bern a 4/4.5/5 star, and then all of a sudden he got injured extremely badly, and all of a sudden the Duke types lost interest, and he ended up getting rated about a 3.75 star player, that despite the injury was STILL considered the BEST PLAYER IN ALL OF CANADA, and kind of FELL into WSU's, SMITH's Laps. I think the only question is how good he recovers from that injury. If he recovers well from that injury, I think he can return to his pre injury position of being a NBA prospect.
Him canning 3 after 3, 3,4,5 times in a row, and looking at his Height, weight, body frame, speed, quickness, Ball handling, dribbling, NBA ATHLETICISM, LATERAL Quickness.form, technique, crossover, is like a cross between Gary Payton, Tim Hardaway, Iverson. He looks like he should be able to break plenty of Defender's ankles that try to guard him simlar to how iverson nearly broke Jordan's ankles in the playoffs when Jordan tried to guard Iverson.
Also Smith has REPEATEDLY SAID that Koulibaly is the BEST LATERAL LOCKDOWN DEFENDER on the team Ala Gary Payton like. The only questions I would have about his game if I was scouting him as a NBA Scout: Is can he hit a midrange jumper. He averaged about 29 to 33 point per game, about 4,5,6,7 Assist per game, about 2,3,4 steals per game, about 4.5 to 5 to 5.5 rebounds per game. Good, Great 3 point shooter(backed up by his video of hitting 3,4,5 3's in a row)He definitly was the ultimate STAT machine. The only thing I'm not sure on sure about is how he shot midrange, and freethrow%. All around he is a great ALL Around COMBO PG/SG HYBRID, that can shoot, drive, score, pass, defend, athleticism, fill a stat sheet in bunches with the seemingly the best of them(He did extremely well versus some extremely good HS competition, and some semi top AAU like competition, and played in a lot of tournaments and did well in those tournament. There is a reason they used to call him 1 and done NBA before he got injured, and why he was the BEST PLAYER IN ALL OF CANADA
He Koulibaly definitly has the POTENTIAL, UPSIDE, CEILING,ON PAPER POTENTIAL to IN THE FUTURE to be a NBA Prospect, make it to the NBA by either draft, signed undrafted free agent, NBA G League, CBA, Overseas, or even Walking On and trying out for and making a NBA Roster.
But that said PG like QB is so hard to tell who really is NFL, or NBA Ready. But I think its reasonable to consider him. Koulibaly as at LEAST A POTENTIAL FUTURE POTENTIAL FUTURE NBA PROSPECT ON PAPER.

IN TERMS OF SERIOUSNESS.
Efe's Injury happened to either his foot, ankle, leg, knee, and it required surgery, and it took him 2+ years to recover when many thought that he might not, and thought that even if he recovered enough, he would not be anywhere close to his Pre Injury Level.
Despite what you think, Efe, ever since he made that JORDAN DUNK from the Freethrow line at the Age of 15, and then put Video of that on the NBA.com FRONT Page as the FUTURE of the NBA, he was being FASTRACKED by the NBA GLOBAL ACADEMY SYSTEM to either goto to a Duke Type as a 1 and done, or like Jalen Green that skipped college, played for NBA G League Ignite,have EFE G Leagued. Efe's Coach at the NBA Global Academy was a Ex ALL STAR NBA Pro, and had been NBA Global Academy coach for years, knows NBA Talent when he sees it has PRODUCED NBA TALENT, SAID THAT EFE was going to make the NBA. And then the INJURY HAPPENED. Despite the INJURY he still thinks Efe will make the NBA.
Well Koulibaly's situation is, was kind of like that. He was probably going to be like OJ Mayo(6ft 3 1 and done), probably going to be about a 4 star/4.5 star/5 star, had all the big time programs saying they were gona offer him, had coaches, scouts, media calling him 1 and done, and then all of a sudden BAM, like Efe's injury in SERIOUSNESS, he badly injured his arm/shoulder. He wondered, and top program coaches, College and NBA Scouts wondered if he could, would ever be able to play again at all, let alone at his preinjury level. All of a sudden, everything evaporated, lower interest. Then he recovered, but he was rated a about a 3.75 star, Despite being the best player in all of Canada. He would have been a 4/4.5/5 star if not for his injury, the same as Efe would have been a 4/4.5/5 star instead of 3.75 star, if it hadnt been for Efe's injury. In that way they are similar, kind of like each other in situation, severity of injury, etc.

Just watch the WHOLE Video, some might just skim, not watch the whole thing, and only watch the highlights. The Video INTERVIEWS Koulibaly. And its there that he Koulibaly talks about his injury, him being considered a 1 and done, etc. Not making this stuff up. Its IN THE VIDEO. i have said based on reading between the lines have made a educated logical, reasonable guess, estimation, projection that it was PROBABLY Coaches, MEDIA, SCOUTS, AGENTS, NBA, ETC, That probably called Koulibaly a 1 and done NBA Prospect. I say probably, because Koulibaly ONLY OFFICIALLY SAID that he was CONSTANTLY called a 1 and done NBA Prospect. He Koulibaly never said WHO Specifically, etc, called him that.
Its also there in the Video Interview that he Koulibaly explains about his Injury.
So WATCH the WHOLE VIDEO

You do realize his injury didn’t hurt his recruiting? He was already signed committed and practicing at WSU when it occurred. Efe according to you was out 2 years I’m not sure one way or the other but according to Jefferson he was in the gym working on his game within a couple of weeks. Your reading comprehension / basic understanding of what is said in the world around you is disturbingly faulty.
oh yea that NBA all star coach Efe had play 93 games in 3 years with averages of 1.4 pts per game and 2.1 rebounds
