if i sucked for a year and got Lavine as a number one pick I would cry myself to sleep every night. Dipo and Mitchell are barley acceptable.
but I just view Dipo and Mitchell as much more natural ball players with better instincts and feel stuff I think you can't teach.

1. He should be correctly adressed as "Future HOFer Kyle Lowry"
2. In terms of pure basketball instincts, Kyle Lowry is elite.
It's the the whole reason a 6 foot, bowling ball, chubby, streaky shooter became a FUTURE HALL OF FAMER.

You gotta be great at something to be drafted in the top 2.
For Edwards its scoring
For Ball its passing
This draft has 2013 feels.

Tatum is obviously the best player from that draft. Nobody would take Mitchell over him right now.

Tatum is probably more talented. I think they make a similar impact though.

Edwards is basically a 6'5" 225 pound version of Donovan Mitchell. Perhaps it's not exactly what you'd want as the #1 pick in most drafts, but you only have to focus on what THIS draft is. If he hits his potential, I think he's an all-star caliber player by the end of his rookie deal. Similar to a Donovan Mitchell or Jaylen Brown. That's just what this draft is. It's much more like that 2014 draft (excluding Giannis).

How can you be great at scoring with a %52 college true shooting?
Those numbers reflect Donovan Mitchell’s college numbers

Donovan Mitchell was 53% in college FWIW and he's now a top 15 scorer in the league.How can you be great at scoring with a %52 college true shooting?
Perhaps you should take some time to actually watch Edwards.

He's 2 years younger, the same caliber of scorer, but a much better defender and rebounder. More complete than Mitchell.

Idk how often that metric translates with a high volume scorer on a bad team.

Mitchell and Dipo are different caliber athletes man, Mitchell had the fastest sprint in the combine I belive, pretty sure Oladipo put up eye popping agility and sprint numbers also,
more importantly they just look faster on tape.
Yall really think Anthony Edwards is in that zone?
just watching him he seems, strong great body, nice pop off the floor, but he don't strike me Dipo, Mitchell, Jaylen brown level.
couple shades below that

Anthony edwards strikes more as like young Jimmy Butler type athlete.

Thats why I compared him to Lavine. From an offensive arsenal capability.

I think we can all agree that he's gonna be a high volume possibly inefficient SG.
Definitely starter material.

The names y’all are floating around, Butler Mitchell, Lavine; you absolutely take him #1

Yeah the fact that this is supposedly a weak draft keeps getting skipped by osh and besides ball, he hasn’t listed any other prospects he’d rather take

Exactly. All-Star caliber wings.
Nobody else is getting compared with those type of names in this draft, Lamelo included.

Lavine is going between the legs from the free throw line guys cmon man.
never-mind the fact that Zach Lavine has one of the most versatile jumpers in the league, quick release, huge rise, compact release.

I think most of those comparisons are wild to me. Only Jalen Brown strikes me as semi reasonable.
Jaylen Brown is best case, but like Josh Jackson seems also a realistic outcome.
