Iggy is unpolished because he hasn't been playing basketball that long, he was primarily a track & field athlete in high school. That's why most experts predict a huge upside for him, especially his offense. He's a shaky jump shooter but shot an amazing clip from the free throw line, clear indications he can shoot but hasn't practiced hardcore enough years. It took LeBron & Kobe a hardcore summer or two to get their jumpers down as well, the jumper is the least difficult of things to teach.
As for the natural instinct to be a NBA steal leader and eyes to notch a triple double...those are far more rare than a good jump shot. Which is why i think Iggy has more potential, although in reality all 3 are going to be very good if not stars.
