Bond’s offensive game can be “like” Gardner’s I think. Get him the ball at the FT line and let him find some space. He has nice touch and he can follow misses.

I’ve tried therapy to remove those memories but now I’m gonna have to retraumatize myself to check this intriguing comp
In terms of body type I think he’s closer to Adam Hall…I don’t fully remember Adam Halls game except for exciting dunks. Maybe Dunn is more Adam Hall except taller? With that said I consider Dunn as being more Akil Michell in size, length and game at this moment.

I’d say Dunn is more Key and Akil Mitchell in both size, athleticism and *unfortunately shooting touch. Key I believe was bigger/heavier though, but they both dribble pretty well.

Well if the staff decides to be cautious with iMac’s ankle tomorrow, we should finally get to see more time with Bond at the 3. I don’t think he starts, we probably see Harris get the start if iMac can’t go, and Texas Southern’s starting backcourt is 5’10" and 6’1" respectively, so it’s a fine matchup for Reece and Dante together. But still, if Tony is cautious with McKneely, lots of PT there for Bond to pick up and continue to build confidence ahead of Ft Myers.

I’m going to nominate a slightly smaller and more finesse-y Travis Watson. But I like the other comparisons and that he’s kind of tough to pin down. Fun to have a new player type we haven’t really seen before.

From Jeff White’s latest…
For the season, Bond is shooting 72.2 percent from the floor and 66.7 percent from the line. He has yet to attempt a 3-pointer, but that’s coming, he said.
“I feel very comfortable shooting 3s,” Bond said, “and I want to shoot 3s.”

I know it doesn’t always translate but he may have the prettiest jumper on the team. His mid range is pure butter - wouldn’t surprise me at all if he develops into a good 3 point shooter

Hold up. Who has the prettiest J on the team?

Gotta be Groves with iMac and Rohde not far behind. Groves just looks effortless.

Probably Groves. iMac and Bond for me are right there. Bond may be skewing the results based on cool factor though with his fadeaway haha

Send it in Jerome!
I feel like it’s weird to separate it by where the shot is on the court, but in this case I’d have Groves as having the best looking perimeter jumper on the team and Bond as having the best looking mid range jumper on the team.
Special consideration to Dunn who has the best looking flying from the FT line jumper.

Bond’s shooting stroke is very nice and he looks to be $ from 15’ in. I think it’s expandable to the 3-point line. He may not be a 37.5% shooter from there, but he can become creditable and give us a lot of flexibility next year.
The point 5. Thats where they get ya!
Groves shot is just very slow. But he is 6-8 or whatever so makes sense I guess

It is a bit slow to load, but I think that an outside/in with Bond may be a great way to get the ball into the blocks.

I thought he’d picked up his dribble too soon. Nope!
