Sidy right now is a better ballhandler/playmaker, and will soon be a way better defender than Colby Jones - and he's two years younger. Plus there's no reason to be pessimistic that he'll be an average shooter, his form looks smooth. Like you said, by age and competition level, Sidy does a lot of things better than his peers. It's rare to find a 19 year old that can hang physically with Gleaguers - thwarting them on D with his body and motor, too. Plus he's instinctive on that end. He's lowkey a Great defensive prospect.
Most forward prospects today have dreams of being a tertiary playmaker at the next level; Colby again for example.. But Sidy has the tighter handle and creates more advantages with his athleticism. I buy him becoming a solid semi frequent playmaker.. Scottie Barnes-lite playmaking. great defense. and solid jumpshot potential. He is a fringe lotto prospect.
I think a lot of the makes look smooth; I like shots with low dips - I'll take increased rhythm over a quick release - at least they'll make the open shots.
A lot of his misses seem to have a shot line that goes up the left side of his face, which is not normal and suboptimal, although done by some players.
I mentioned Colby just because a lot of big boards have him in the early 20s, and I don't see a great argument for him over Sidy. All wings today want to playmake to some degree; but I actually believe in Sidy's potential there - while I don't for Colby or Murray

I disagree it's as smooth as perceived. I'm not the biggest fan of a release point that is more towards the pointing finger.
I never had Colby Jones ranked anywhere near this high.
