Orlando Magic 2019 NBA Draft Preview: Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a high-IQ player with physical limitations

Scouting philosophies are different throughout the NBA, just like they are in the online draft community.

Many people would love to take the guy with the highest potential. If a player can become 100 percent of what their ability allows for them to become, that player will become a superstar. Players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and DeAndre Jordan, a couple of All-Stars who were extremely raw but projectable make the people who carry this philosophy look like geniuses.

Of course, on the other end, you have plenty of guys like Jan Vesely and Joe Alexander who flunk out of the NBA.
