Interesting to hear Chris Babb on the podcast say that Nick is the more athletic of the two.
His release is maybe a tad delayed, but overall he has good form. Monte had a little circular motion to his release, almost a hitch, but it sounds like he's maybe cleaned that up a bit this Summer.
Babb has better rotation on his shot than Morris, from what I've seen. That being said I'm not sure he's a better shooter. I'd probably give that to Monte, right now.
Oh my, the intern's article says Matt shot 71.4% from the field. That seems hard to do with absolutely no one guarding you.
This will sound crazy, but if Nick Babb can become a consistent shooter, he COULD be one of those guys that sneaks into the NBA eventually. He's tall and long enough to play the 2. He has better handles than Nick. It sounds like he can defend.
He would have to show that he can be an aggressive scorer when he has the chance and improve his shot but it's not impossible.

Last year was a big step forward for Burton. Now that he has some experience, it sounds like he's really taking the summer to focus on improving his weaknesses and become a bigger leader.
I agree that this will be a break out year for him. He has the tools to be a HUGE matchup problem for teams. The key will be consistency, and also more effort defensively and on the boards.

(On the play where he has two blocks and one was on Edozie, they actually called a foul on that somehow. It was clean so I included it.)
Monte Morris highlights: https://instagram.com/p/BH2a10kB1qN/
He had 4 steals last night so included them all.

Bowie looks like he has a nose for the ball. Good timing on the blocks although I pictured him as more of an explosive athlete. Monte mentioned him being able to jump out of the gym. He looks more in the Niang mold as far as understanding angles and body position.
I think Bowie is more explosive then it appears. He doesn't really grab the rim on his dunks so it almost makes it it look like he barely got high enough to dunk it. He looks bigger/stronger and more explosive in person, IMO. That being said, I think Holden is the more explosive between the two. He's the one that can jump out of the gym.

Bowie didn't look like he was trying too hard on a few of those that he could have dunked hard if he wanted.
Poor #3 trying to guard Monte.
Not sure how anyone can argue we don't have a top 5 backcourt in the country.

Monte looks smooth. Our guards will have great practices, I think we will have a backcourt on the bench that could start a lot of places.
