Yeah, stats seem more like those of a true 2 guard.
In most cases, it is the most accurate method for judgement. Of course, no method is infallible, but offer lists are the most accurate indicator.

Im saying offers don't tell you nothing about a kids work ethic and potentialAnd how common are the guys like Damien Lilliard? Pff, what a ****ty point and you know it. For every Damien there is a Daniel Orton. Most of the time being highly ranked is a sign you're a good player. I wouldn't bank on every guy being like Damien. And you need to stop pretending they all are great.

I'd much rather go by the ranking and videos than a gut feeling. If it's a coach like CDT evaluating then I trust him more to see something an analyst/evaluator sees in a short period of time. But as a fan, one of the better ways is simply by offers/ranking.
This is kinda my view on it
@NatrellCurtis: Just because you have offers and stars that doesn't mean you done nothing yet well at least for me #SomethingToProve
Offers/Ratings mean something. Very rarely are highly ranked guys extremely lazy/non-motivated guys. Yes, are some highly ranked players lazy? Sure. And I agree lower ranked players might be higher motivated and have a chip on the shoulder. That all being said, a high ranked player is ranked high for a reason. That tweet is from a football player, and he is probably saying that because he feels he's underrated or knows someone else he feels is overrated.
I have a tweet from a coach here,which I also like
@Coach_Gattis: The # of offers you have mean nothing You can only choose 1 that's what matters. Offers don't make you better your work ethic does #RealTalk
I agree that Talent + Motivation > Talent
Do you think it's strange teams like UK in basketball and Bama in football pull in the best recruits and are usually the best in the nation? Most of the guys the best teams get are high ranked players. Some of them are guys coaches view as underrated and worth taking onto the team. It's silly to say offers mean nothing. Coaches wouldn't offer the highest ranked players if they thought they had no work ethic and were lazy. But I agree they do see underrated players who work hard and give them a chance when they think it could benefit the team.
