Nice exaggeration. TJD is a solid free throw shooter. We’ve been told he is working extremely hard on expanding his range. It probably won’t happen a ton, because there really is no point since he was already a very good scorer as a freshman. It’s not at all unrealistic to think he will be come at the very least capable from mid range and using his right hand.
Wheeler becoming Kyrie, James Harden, Rudy Gobert, or even good college player is far less likely.
I think Aaron Wheeler has the potential to become a good college player. I don't think that's less likely. I think he has confidence issues, similar to Basil Smotherman. That man could dribble recent, play D, had good athleticism, could shoot the ball... He just didn't live for basketball and IMO, the pressure got to him. IF Wheeler can overcome the same traits, IMO, that held Basil back, he could be an All-Conference type of player. He has all the skills, just needs to believe in himself.
I think Wheeler is as likely to become a double digit scorer as TJD is to hit a consistent 15 footer. Maybe that's more optimistic bias being a Boiler, but that's what I see on the court.
