By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthis draft is going to be really interestingOnly one certainty, the Orlando Magic will tank
its one of those drafts when you really have to make some big time decisions rather just follow the chalk

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postthis draft is going to be really interestingI think this draft lowkey sucks...based off of what little look ins on the prospects I've done.

Ayton should be good but idk if he's tank for great, y'know? He looks the part and can do all the things you want your bigs to do nowadays but he's just kinda vanilla at the same time. Perhaps Towns, Embiid, Porzingis has me spoiled tho.
But after him its a real toss up. Does Doncic translate? The euro phenom guard/wing guys have quietly become the new "next Dirk" archetype in terms of flame out rate (Mario might be turning it around tho). Bagley seems like a solid starter; garbage man type....which is meh (dude is super young tho). Bamba is super Nerlins Noel. Trey Young has been exposed by college defenses. Porter's back is a massive red flag (future Sixer because of this tho)...and then everyone else I think maxes out as role players at best.. and wooo boy the guard crop is baaaad.
I am just meh on it overall. So yeah GMs are going to need to put in work...this is the draft in which you reach for potential and hope you can meld a player into something.
I think this is a good looking draft...Ayton is pretty damn good... there are quite a few will end up to be starters in this draft as I see it
By knux-future Go To PostI think this draft lowkey sucks…based off of what little look ins on the prospects I've done.I tihnk it goes Ayton then Doncic... purely on safety. After that it's bit of a toss up. I like Trae. Bamba i'm hugely cautious about.

By dIEHARD Go To PostBamba is Gobert with a 3Then why do the few places i've looked rate his jumpshot as poor?
By dIEHARD Go To PostBamba is Gobert with a 3Nothing screams I got a 3 like 27%
It's also hard to tell for some bigs how their game will truly translate.
Ayton regularly looks like the only man on a court with boys.
Bamba looks like he has 2 - 3 inches in height and maybe more in wingspan on everyone.
So many of their points come on "being tall near the rim". ... That said Ayton does have a lot of faith in his jumper and it looks good and seem to hit it regularly. Even out of the post.
Bamba seems to be more of a spot up guy.

By dIEHARD Go To Postwhy are you all questioning what ive readIts that or think about trades for Suns players.
suck might have been too strong of a word....my bad.
however, I do think the mighty tank off that is going on now is a bit misguided .

By blackace Go To PostAyton can change a franchise…I could see it. Its hard to tell because of how the college game hurts bigmen and him probably not going full tilt to protect himself. He's not the guy I am worried about tho.
By knux-future Go To PostI could see it. Its hard to tell because of how the college game hurts bigmen and him probably not going full tilt to protect himself. He's not the guy I am worried about tho.Any draft is hard to tell...but this draft looks fairly deep...
By blackace Go To PostAny draft is hard to tell…but this draft looks fairly deep…oh no doubt. I am just saying i'd be shook because like Faze said, your GM has to really know his shit and going BPA is going to lead to a lot of dude losing their jobs. Like a guy drafted at say 18 could be massively better than a guy your get at 4 or some shit...which can of course always happen but I damn near feel like it will guaranteed happen this year lol.
If your GM is drafting off of wingspan and upside this is a lose your job year...kinda reminds me of Curry's draft class
By knux-future Go To Postoh no doubt. I am just saying i'd be shook because like Faze said, your GM has to really know his shit and going BPA is going to lead to a lot of dude losing their jobs. Like a guy drafted at say 18 could be massively better than a guy your get at 4 or some shit…which can of course always happen but I damn near feel like it will guaranteed happen this year lol.I think it's harder to tell this year because the guys at the top of the board are in spots where it's hard to tell if they're really that good, or the opposition is that bad.
I think Ayton is really good. But if Doncic is for real and those skills translate ... he could be amazing. Huge if though.
By knux-future Go To Postwhodafuk is Traveon Graham?oh look who is all high and mighty with his team not full of gleague players now
By knux-future Go To PostI could see it. Its hard to tell because of how the college game hurts bigmen and him probably not going full tilt to protect himself. He's not the guy I am worried about tho.Ayton don't give no fucks about college ball
By dIEHARD Go To Postoh look who is all high and mighty with his team not full of gleague players nowI miss humble knux
By dIEHARD Go To Postoh look who is all high and mighty with his team not full of gleague players nowlol. But still you'd think I'd know all the whodafuks...but even I don't know
By knux-future Go To PostMKG mad as fuck.Yeah, they've missed some obvious shit on both ends too.
These refs are fucking terrible enough to make him of all people mad.
By giririsss Go To PostYeah, they've missed some obvious shit on both ends too.we out here hacking and shit and getting away with it.
i am shook. This is why its going to snow tonight.
By domino Go To PostAyton don't give no fucks about college ball
Always a good sign that a top tier prospect isn't competitive enough to take college ball seriously imo
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostAlways a good sign that a top tier prospect isn't competitive enough to take college ball seriously imoBen Simmons tbh
By s y Go To PostBen Simmons tbh
He tried real hard first half of the season then realized it was hopeless and he stopped.
Arizona's a national title contender.
EDIT: It's not fair to Ayton of course, but every time I watch him play I'm reminded of Andrew Wiggins at Kansas. Not the same player but just a general sense of "this is pretty good, but he can be so much better than this"
By s y Go To PostBen Simmons tbhBen still seems like he doesn't give any fucks tho. I think thats just his normal disposition
By knux-future Go To Postwe out here hacking and shit and getting away with it.

Yeah, Embiid hacking Marvin was blatant. Then you have JJ Reddick trying to throw lobs to Simmons off the back board in traffic ....

He must be close to averaging 20 & 20 and only going about 75%.
The Hornets half time has ... kids that must be 9 or 10 if that, shooting 3's from JUST inside the arc and barely missing.
By reilo Go To PostIsn't that a former Kings draftee? Or was it Celtics?
who the fuck
By giririsss Go To PostIsn't that a former Kings draftee? Or was it Celtics?Kings. Check out his transaction sheet, it's epic. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/papagge01.html
By giririsss Go To PostHe must be close to averaging 20 & 20 and only going about 75%.Hmm? He's 20/11 right now.
But I'm more worried about the 0.5 stls and 1.9 blks. That's pretty garbage for a guy with his defensive potential. He's obviously better than that, but he doesn't particularly try.
