Wilt Chamberlain
Ok I spend this past weekend watching and re watching games. Prob watched at least a dozen games if not more. Def more considering I only watched a half of several games. Tried to watch some international ball too that i had recorded
So here is my revised top 15
1. Ben Simmons
2. Brandon Ingram - is a lot closer to being number one than people may realize rn. Duke is playing like shyt but his talent is undeniable.
3. Dragan Bender - this draft is so weak and his ceiling is so great that i had to give them this spot even though he hasn't done anything of note.
4. Kris Dunn - will prob end up Better than Bender but he still struggles with his jumper and turnovers and injuries are always a question. Plus that overly aggressive defense that he does is dominant in college but it's not gonna fly in the NBA. Players are too quick and smart.
5. Jakob Poeltl - I've been impressed with his post game improvements as well as passing.
6. Ivan Rabb - Got outplayed by Poeltl this week but that also had to do with double teams. Went right by Jakob on a rare one on one possession.
7. Furkan Korkmaz - the draft is so weak again, that i had to move him up a few spots just because no one else really stands out.
8. Buddy Hield -
at him being a number one pick. He will be a good player but he just doesnt have the natural talent to ever be an NBA star
9. Jamal Murray
10. Deyonta Davis
11. Jaylen Brown - I've talked about before why I'm mot that high on him but he has gotten to the rim at will in the Pac 12. That's gotta mean something
12. Thomas Bryant - I'm pretty high on him. Great frame and wing span, good feel and shooting touch. He is still learning the fundamentals but in the right environment he might end up a top 3 player in this draft.
13. Denzel Valentine - will be a nice role player.
14. Diamond Stone - talent is there but he doesnt seem to have the natural feel that Bryant does. Prob stronger than Bryant though.
15. Wade Baldwin - good measurables, and an unselfish mentality. Why not?
I'm really disappointed by this season, the rule changes are great and I loved that Oklahoma - Kansas game. Wish Simmons and Ingram had Better players around them. Otherwise, I'm not going to watch much until March madness comes around.
Thank God the NBA is having an instant classic season.
