Don't get me excited.

Every time I pop my head in here it's a new hot take Devin Booker isn't a shooter

How is this a hot take? He's not a shooter yet, 42% is AI status. He's a scorer. Steph, Ray, Nash, Reggie...those are shooters (Steph an elite scorer as well and Ray & Reggie really good ones in their primes).

Dude, you HAVE to stop comparing ALL TIME GREATS to the rest of the NBA.

Those players you named are beyond elite.

If he wasn't a shooter he wouldn't be shooting 36% on 6 3s a game in his second year.

Can Malik Monk translate into Bradley Beal? I know there's a couple of inches difference, but their games seem similar to me.

Don't see Monk ever putting on that size. Also, those inches matter a lot when it comes to get a contested jump shot off.

I like the Beal comparison way more than I like the Lou Will or Crawford ones.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Monk is hella streaky when you look at his splits

 

[frshstunna]

Unless Monk develops another skill I see him settling into a super 6th man bench role getting buckets

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Monk kinda reminds me of j rich, just a mini version

Still can't believe dude is 6'3 6'4 ish

Those inches will make a difference though from college to the pros

 

[lovehateself]

monk = marcus thornton

 

[ballinsam23]

Thornton had some good years in him. Injuries and **** franchises defined his career though.

 

[nick.]

Monta Ellis?

 

[ballinsam23]

If Ellis and Randy Foye had a baby.

I think DJ Wilson is going to be a very good NBA starter and will be the steal of the draft.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'd take dj Wilson anywhere in the 20's

 

[cassanova brown]

DJ Wilson kinda reminds me of Jared Jeffries

 

[addict4sneakers]

I'm a believer in DJ Wilson.

Kuzma too

Id also take the big man from ucla, Ike, in the first round, especially if it's near the end. Dude has defensive and rebounding potential

If he stays I'm 75% sure the Bucks are taking him

 

[SadBoi]

Suns gonna take Monk.

 

[B Sox]

So an underwhelming rookie year for an 18 year old kid from a foreign country that got injured for half of the season is completely indicative of the player he's going to become?

Y'all are funny man.

 

[nick.]

Suns gonna take Monk.

Gonna put 5 Kentucky guards on the floor
