NBA Potential
Lawal is the first player with actual NBA chances. If he continues to display a defensive presence and hit shots at a solid clip, he will no doubt find himself making draft projects. Way way too much potential and signs of drastic improvement for teams to not pick him. Very very excited to watch him play! Shocked how we got him honestly, thank you J.D Byers. ** Edited by SC_Hokie at 11/5/2024, 4:36:08 PM

Let the overreactions to one game against scrubs begin
I’m gonna be interested to see how he does against Cooper Flagg.

You will all find out this is NOT an over reaction.
Lawal is going to be on national radar in no time. Mike Young DEVELOPS 2* into all acc players. Give him a world class athlete and find out what’s gunna happen. Keve didn’t start playing ball until he was in high school too. We all know how this is gunna go. Not to mention the kid plays with a clear passion on his face, you can tell he’s a hard worker. But yes the matchup vs cooper Flagg will hopefully put him in the spotlight. I probably am crazy, but the fact he slipped under the radar is beyond me and not being talked about enough. He is quite literally a Bugatti sitting next to a double wide. Full credit and praise to JD Byers.

As my VCU hoops son says, he’ll show some highlight baskets, you just don’t
know which basket he’s gonna shoot at. Unpolished, with a bit to go.

He has hops. What other parts of his game is NBA ready?
D-League or Europe is his best bet after 2-3 more years of college ball.

His defense lmao??
He can stretch the floor as well. He will at least make a 2-way. C’mon now.

Whoooooooah Nellie!!! I would call him a pleasant surprise and to be seen
about any NBA potential. Let's say with his short stint playing basketball, he does have a tremendous upside.

Only if his dad plays for the lakers at this point.
Long way to go.

Not for a while. He really doesn't know the game. He's super athletic,
but that isn't the only requirement for the NBA. His game smarts need alot of help.

There are a lot of NBA players that check that box.

I am sorry, but NBA is just a different animal.

You should be sorry.
NBA is truly based on potential. A late 2nd round pick is practically worthless. Lawal is arguably the best athlete in CBB right now. He hasn’t developed a shot. He can learn the game later. If he shows IMPROVEMENT over the season in that regard I guarantee he will be on draft boards.
