he's been super impactful as a rookie despite significant struggles with his handle & shot. & he's so locked in & disruptive defensively. Loved him as a prospect & rlly think he can be a special 2-way player!

Most the players you named (everyone except wiseman) are good and still getting better not everyone is going to be Luka and be a star off the rip maybe the problem is people like you not letting young players develop look at how the lakers old core developed Dlo Randle and Ingram were allstars Clarkson Kuzma and Lonzo Zubac are all great players to and people thought they were all overrated and traded them for scraps

@@JonathanVegaa - They are not prepared like they were in the past. I’ll leave it at that buddy. If you think their preparation is comparable to Ewing, Iverson, Bird, Magic, Duncan, Jordan, and Isiah it’s a moot point.

Cool prospect who’s been great international in Fiba tournaments but is a bit of a tweener who doesn’t really excel in any specific area but is good at pretty much everything besides shooting. Probably a mid-late 1st round guy for me rn.

The bulls need everything lmao. But yeah wouldn’t mind one of those bigs, think Bradshaw probably a little too raw though to be taken that high but we’ll see how he performs.

I’d love either. Pretty much every team would be a great fit with his versatility. Think the Wizards probably make a bit more sense with Ayton already In Portland & Scoot/ Shaedon needing spacing around them.

@@JBHOOPS100 Ayton SUCKS in offense & DEFENSE, if Wizards get him not impact immediately because Kuzma & Poole more touches every play

@@nbapbaupdate8338 Not sure Kuzma will still be on the team. I think Ayton's been really good this year, just hard for him playing without any guard to set him up but still definitely a valuable player & has been great defensively.

⁠yea Kuzma definitely will be gone after this season wiz new front office isn’t going to waste time and let his value sink like the old regime did with Beal

@@JBHOOPS100 Kuzma still stay in Wizards because his more touches and shoots. Nah Ayton SUCKS in offense if he want stay long NBA career he want improve his Mid Range, 3pt, FT & footwork. Center position evolution now example Chet, Jokic, Sengun or Wenbenyama

I think LaMelo & Brandon Miller will handle a lot of the scoring duties. I think Ja'Kobe makes sense considering the Defensive value as Melo is pretty poor & Miller maybe a slight+ at his best but I just think the lack of rim-pressure will be an issue in the long run & DJ could really help with that whilst being a guy I can see shooting it & defending at a pretty high level as well.

You don’t think Cade looks like a future Allstar? Definitely some worrying things with the difficulty separating but the Two-way ability, playmaking & strength based creation is nice, I’m high on Jaden Ivey think the situation is weird but he’ll get back to it. Duren is one of the best young bigs in the league & Ausar already looks like a All-D contender. + Stew is definitely a solid starter/ elite bench big & Sasser looks great. They’ve had some misses but the direction & Picks they’ve made recently have been very solid imo.

@@JBHOOPS100 I wouldn't be too surprised to see Cade make an all star game or two, but I think I would be surprised if he made regular appearances there.

@@kurtpittman7225 Fari, I think this is probably one of the hardest era's to be an allstar with how talented the league is.

Yeah I like Clingan. Agree I liked the passing flashes. Mara just a whole lot more skilled offensively but it’ll be interesting to see how he adjusts to the College game. Clingan definitely more NBA ready & has some vital skills to fall back on even if he’s just a rim-runner, offensive rebounder & drop/ paint defender.

@@JBHOOPS100 Mara's lack of minutes and role seems weird. Why is he getting no time?

There was the buyout thing restricting him that only recently got resolved so I’m not sure how long he’s been with the team & able to practice. But I expect his minutes/ usage will grow over the course of the season. Probably won’t be a top tier guy but still think his size, passing & play-finishing will get him lotto/ mid1st round looks even if the production doesn’t stand out.

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it. Think this class probably doesn’t have the superstar type talent up top like some of the recent classes but it’s really deep imo. Definitely some guys that could be rotation players from day 1 that will be later picks. My first board will be out soon!

@@JBHOOPS100 Great to hear, it sounds like exactly the type of draft class the Sixers could use if we keep our pick. Will be waiting in the meantime for your first board to drop!

Check out da manz @SwaggyC

Can confirm, vid is coming

Lofton bullies everyone.

definitely some similarities with the processing & vision, but Amen's adv creation gives him legit best playmaker in the league upside. Josh's touch is clear tho.

If you feel like donating to charity fs 🫣🤞

Appreciate it!

Appreciate it!

Chet got a ton of rest and recovered greatly especially when rehabbing he did well, He was able to put some weight & muscle into him a bit adding in 15 pounds making him 210 hopefully before the season starts he can put on more mass perhaps add 10 more. If Holmgren gets around 220 that will be suitable for him to last the physicality plus you can see the work ethic he's putting every off-season to get better he made a big emphasis to train hard for his conditioning get then more reps so he could get back to groove in shooting because, Chet sat out the whole year he needs time to get back in that rhythm in being able to stretch the floor or shot free throws at a high percentage again. Once that happens his feel for the game on offense will slowly go back to him what's important is he got even more aggressive defensively, a menace on the paint being that rim protector he is projected to be cuz of his shot blocking prowess.

Ratio + i Liked my own comment on multiple accounts

Respect Scoot & Keyonte

He might be good but I’m just really against drafting for fit in the lotto. Not an nba-ready frame, very limited on ball, & doesn’t have great size. I think Keyonte would’ve given them similar production as a shooter with significantly more playmaking/ creation upside.

@@JBHOOPS100 TO UNDERSTAND THE DRAFT IS A KEY TO NOT MAKING MANY MISTAKES THERES MORE MISTAKES MADE ON DRAFTING FOR POTENTIAL THEN DRAFTING FOR ROLE 👍🏾 KEYONTE IS A ISO PLAYER PELS ALREADY HAVE TO MANY OF THOSE 🤷🏽‍♂️ HAWKINS IS WAY BETTER THAN U GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR DONT UNDERESTIMATE SHOOTERS 👍🏾

@@JBHOOPS100 HOW IS HAWKINS DOING WITH THE PELS??? 😂😂😂 WHO AFTER THE LOTTO IS PLAYING BETTER??? 👍🏾 KID IS A BUCKET 🔥 KEYONTE IS SMALLER & A ZERO ON DEFENSE 🤷🏾‍♂️

Still think Keyonte is a much better prospect & player. Hawkins definitely has value as a shooter just think he was over drafted. Hawkins also hasn’t been great tbh. Solid for a rookie but still shooting poorly from 2 & having some issues defensively. He’s gonna be a good player but should be performing better than the other younger higher upside guys anyway so I wouldn’t be running laps over some 36% shooting.

@@JBHOOPS100 AGAIN DRAFTING ON ONLY POTENTIAL IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN SPORTS 🤷🏾‍♂️👍🏾 KEYONTE IS SHOOTING 37 % 😂😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Appreciate it!

yeah it is, Cam was just a swap based on his Number at Nova, He'll wear Number 7 for the Rockets!

He’s a good player & had a great freshman szn. But if you actually watch the tape you’ll see he wasn’t beating defenders consistently at all & had real struggles finishing & creating any sort of seperation in the H/C without a screen/ prior movement. The pick itself wasn’t bad but I’m just super high on Scoot as a legit star creator. & with Millers lack of strength/ burst/ finishing I don’t see him being more than a 3rd or maybe 2nd guy on a serious team.

@@JBHOOPS100 College is more half court zone oriented, and most of the games I watched he was beating defenders and made the right play most of the times, sometimes they’ll recover and block his shots due to his athleticism. He have the highest basketball iq out of any of the lottery guys. Scoot have a few red flags as well, he’s not a great shooter, takes bad shots, and not really a good finisher. The final stretch of the season his shooting percentage was bad.

Idk I disagree, Sharpe is good & he’s young but idk if he’ll ever be a high-end creator with his handle & pull-up game, whereas I really see Scoot being that guy. But really it’s just a sick start to a rebuild whilst being in a really shitty situation for the last decade. So I’m excited for a new era in Portland!

Yeah they killed it.

I just don’t get the argument, check other replies if you want my full thoughts.

I agree the Lakers Night was solid, the UDFA pickups were elite & Max was a steal. But I just don’t see it with JHS tbh. Shaky decision-making, inconsistent D, very streaky shooter/ shotmaker & doesn’t pressure the rim. Would’ve taken him in the late 1st but 17 was a bit of a reach imo. But if they really wanted him I get it.

Even if I’m not 100% correct atleast I put thought & have reasons to backup my takes. Scoot is special. 6’4/ 6’10 wingspan, elite athlete & playmaker, shot close to 50% on OTD 2’s, 32.4% on 3’s, all against LEGIT PRO’s at 17-19 yo. Miller will be very good but had significant exploitable weaknesses. Struggles to get to & finish at the rim in the H/C (like 37% on h/c layups is terrible), defensively he’s solid, but not great like you said, the passing is really cool & the shooting is great but he also had some wildly bad games against comp which will only get harder & better physically & athletically at the next lvl.

This is the exact same thing I said lmaooo Lewis is raw actually but has huge potential, but JHS can contribute in a lot of ways and alsp higher ceiling. He's just not as flashy tbh but a solid prospect overall. Box and One, The athletic and no ceilings have JHS in the lottery. And yeah, Brandon Miller outside of the top 5 and GG Jackson at 11 in a big board is a nasty work.

JHS is cool, I just think 17 was a bit of a reach & taking him over some other guys left on the board was odd. He had great Games but he also had some terrible moments. Defensively was very inconsistent, the decision making is shaky, doesn’t get to the rim in the H/C & isn’t a good enough shooter for his shot-Diet. I do my own scouting so I get I might be against the consensus but I have reasons. I’m not confident he contributes straight away. Lewis also has issues defensively but offensively he’s clear imo. & GG is just a fun upside swing, yes there are issues but he played on one of the worst teams in CBB as a 17 yo with a ridiculous load. Flashes on both ends were super intriguing.

@@JBHOOPS100 Hoosiers outside of JHS & TJD were horrid yet they were top10-25 all year bc of them & JHS was the main new player from year prior when they weren’t nearly as good. I look at eye test and stroke over results and JHS form is beautiful. He was also 19 years old. Many players become better (in college or pros) after freshman year. I watched every IU game this year and JHS usually when he missed was in and out or just a tad short. Very few 6’6” 215 lb guards with his pace/skill/smoothness flop especially when they’re 14 4 4 as freshman. I agree off ball not the best fit with lakers but most ppl there had JHS or Whitmore number 1 remaining on their boards for a reason.

I don’t understand that argument at all tbh. Scoot has the tools & understanding to be good defensively & then offensively it’s perfect with Scoots rim-pressure, advantage creation & iso-scoring & Melo’s elite shooter but limitations as a half-court creator. I actually think the fit is better than it is with Melo & Miller.

Pelicans need shooting, they goet arguably the best shooter in the draft and he gave them C-💀

I’m just not a fan of taking specialists in the lotto. I don’t think he possesses the ancillary skills to be a high-minute/ impact guy early anyway. Think you could’ve gotten a shooter for cheap in a trade or FA, & then spent your Lotto pick on a high upside creator, like a Keyonte George, Bukin or Even NSJ. He’ll be solid but just think it was a bit of a reach at 14 & the tourney run gave him a ton of hype.

@@JBHOOPS100 Hawkins better fit than any other shooter in this draft. He will get similar minutes as trey murphy does. Hawkins would be the second best shooter on the team giving the immediate impact. C- is criminal

@@JBHOOPS100HOW DOES THE HAWKINS PICK LOOK NOW? 😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️ U GOT IT WRONG 😂

I'm not a Brandon Miller fan but man, this guy consistently have him outside the top 5 in all of his Big Boards.
