    Yeah I definitely think the NBA doesnt wants to **** up the NCAA's billion dollar industry by stealing away the best pro prospects and having them play in the G-League. That would make the G-League the real farm system of the NBA so college ball would be filled mostly with very low level pro...

    1000% agree with all of this. Whole system is ****ed up. ****s over the kids by forcing them to play in school for a year for no compensation and hurts the college bball product as a whole with the best players/teams changing every year (except for Jay Wright because he's the best coach in the...

    OK, maybe he would have been a bust lotto pick 2 years ago but my point is that he is a much better prospect than Ron was. At one point considered gifted enough to be a lotto pick and still projected to be late first/early 2nd, which Ron never came close to approaching. He's also projected to be...

    Most mocks have Grayson going late first/early second. Your stock usually decreases with age, especially with players who burst on to the scene young, because scouts have a better chance to pick apart your game and you are viewed as having less potential. In Grayson's case attitude concerns...

    I want the Big Ragu... Badly. But I think he goes back to Nova and if he stays I think he goes before #37. Same with Jalen Brunson who I love as a career backup PG. I love Shamorie Ponds though as a St. Johns fan although I really dont think we need another diminutive scoring guard off the...

    I'm not saying I want Grayson, but he is a much better player than Ron Baker. He is a potential late first round talent while nobody ever projected Ron to be drafted. If Grayson would have left school 2 years ago he could have been a lottery pick but his stock has declined by going back to Duke...

    So false. Ron is ****ing terrible. ****ing NTC off a half season of garbage time. And to make it worse that same exact contract could have been used to retain Justin Holiday. :smh:

    I'd trade 9 for 12+13 in a heartbeat. **** I'd even throw in #37. Most mocks have Miles Bridges in that range anyway, who is probably my favorite or 2nd favorite target for #9 depending on my mood. I mean if you think about it if the Clips trade up it would almost definitely be for Sexton. Mikal...

    Wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland doesn't try to appease Lebron by trading away the Nets pick, especially if there are no assurances he stays, which knowing Lebron, there won't be on draft night. If Cleveland was smart they wouldn't make more dumb short-sighted moves (they already have no...

    Or Cleveland, they'll either draft him to entice Lebron or be a big name to sell if Lebron leaves. :lol:

    Thats just a ridiculous sentiment. Preposterous. 1. Hiring Phil in the first place for $12 mil a year instead of a lesser known, but more established basketball front office guy was about as Dolan as it gets to begin with... aka some stupid *** **** that no other organization would even think...

    It's all about how you evaluate talent. If Doncic becomes something like Ben Simmons this year and a top 3-5 player in the NBA down the road, how is that not building a contender with him Frank, KP, etc? It's not like I'm saying trade the picks for Kawhi or an NBA vet. Not saying it would be...

    I think Luka would happily go to an up and coming Phoenix team and play for his old Slovenian coach. Problem is that despite the fact that the coach wants Doncic, Ayton is still consensously regarded as the #1 pick and he is who the owner and most of the fanbase wants given that he played at U...

    Also, I'm not a Kevin Knox fan but his measurements are very good across the board.

    I feel like WCJ's standing reach has to be a mistake. Doesn't make sense for a player with his size and his wingspan to have such a short standing reach. Maybe it was meant to be 8'11 and not 7'11... According to this chart WCJ's standing reach is a half inch shorter than Trae Young's and...

    6'0 / 6'3 :sick: That's worse than Jalen Brunson and it's hard to say he's more athletic either, although he does have that Steph Curry deceptive quickness along with elite ball handling skill. Dude better be the next Steph if he plans to be even a legit starter. He'll always have a spot in...

    As of now, I agree, I still think Mikal is my guy. I'm very torn between him and Miles, who's motor/athleticism I think gives him more upside at the NBA level (although I think Mikal's upside is underrated); and I really like Sexton alot, but Mikal seems to fit exactly what we are looking for...

    I don't love MPJ or Trae, I agree there is a lot of risk attached to both, but I also agree with people who say they might have too much upside not to gamble on with the 9th pick. I don't think either falls that far though.

    Of... MPJ Trae WCJ Bamba Sexton Mikal Miles Knox SGA LW4 Zhaire The only players I'd want absolutely no part of are WCJ, Knox, and SGA. 9 is probably too early for LW4 and Zhaire but I'm intrigued by both.
