"We'll"?

thought you had a purple and gold flag

Come on now. I'm Mav/Laker gang all day.
It was always a mutual respect there between the legends so it's only right I bang both sets

This is an interesting discussion. But go look at all the top 5ish players in these rankings that were 1 & dones/post graduate)

ESPN Basketball Recruiting - Player Rankings

Where do the nation basketball recruits rank? Check out the player rankings on RecruitingNation.com

Almost all of them who came out after their post HS graduate year were first round picks at the least.

Y’all added the one and done criterion.

My point was just because you were highly ranked in a recruiting class doesn’t mean you were drafted high.

Given how Covid shut down kids senior years that years ranking should really have been given a sideeye

Except...that wasn't his senior year

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Pretty sure he is but he's Dallas through and through

It's a win win then

I thought the criterion was assumed, considering the player in question was known to be a one and done type prospect by everybody.

Of course, being ranked high in HS doesn’t guarantee you a lottery pick. We’ve seen like 50 years of history on that. But THESE type of prospects like Hardy, usually end up 1st round picks or lotto guys by default, after their post grad hs year.

I mean, if you wanted to use Trevon Duval as a study case…I’d buy it. That may be the comp id agree with you on.

qyrie is such a narcissistic jerk
it takes effort to be that way for most

 

[antidope]

Depending on the circumstances, its always funny when people try to get a celebrity to stop doing something and they are just like "nah".

Kyrie:

Luka and Kyrie first practice

 

[D StaXX]

Yessir I can't lose.

Also, we need Lavar back in the spotlight. He's too entertaining to not be in the spotlight.

 

[Based Jesus]

This ***** thinks he's involved in a RICO case

 

[smedroc]

Coach Kidd must not have heard the God say he needs to be celebrated at work

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Yeah ok Jkidd. Kyrie is one of these "it's nobody's team, it's no leader, the man" overthinking types.

I remember a big portion of this thread was on that a couple years ago.

 

[T0INE]

Myrie da ultimate chaos agent.

He's the NBA's real Tariq not Temetrius.

WhoA...what Luka he talking about that has better handles than Kumbucha Irving

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Cuban and Kidd making sure this is a short stay for Kyrie

This ***** thinks he's involved in a RICO case

Considering the allegation, he might could be involved in a RICO case

 

[DLF]

Tonight might be Russ Westbricks last game as a Laker.

Please.

 

[DLF]

Cuban and Kidd making sure this is a short stay for Kyrie

Two interviews and both said “kyrie is second/beta” of the team.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Tacos and wine in honor of LeBron tonight

 

[rolaholic]

He's gone

 

[jpzx]

Tonight might be Russ Westbricks last game as a Laker.

Please.

You make it sound like momentous occasion, I’m sure a suitor will emerge happy to help you out to their own detriment.
