Class of 2021 continuing where he left off last year
I don't know if he has grown because that will be the key to his success but when I watched him his jumper off the bounce and handle were already elite.


@Draje @HiphopRelated @Freddie.Cane @Primetime21


This guy and Zaire Wade are both in that class of 2021. Let's get this tank started for the 2022 draft. :mjgrin:

Zion will have to grow before he is a surefire pro.

This kid Kyree Walker already has the size and athleticism. I havent watched him play live but he is passing the ball extremely well in EYBL and has had some good scoring performances playing up 2 years:

He's the only player from the 2020 class I've heard about so far really

I know nothing about that class yet

I'd imagine some sites should have the first rankings of that class by the summer

So he's Paul George?

I guess, in the sense you're never going to win shyt with him as the number one option. Porter isn't anywhere near PG defensively of course.

PG has better handles as well, Porter is really stiff which worries me how that will play out once he hits the NBA. PG hasn't been the same post-injury either.

They not playing together in college.

I'm more confident in IU landing Garland than Langford right now, but landing them both is still a realistic possibility for now.

IU has a better shot of landing both of them than Duke does.

What y'all think of Ronaldo Segu?


Obviously given his average height and athleticism, it's an extreme long shot Segu becomes a star, but he has skills that translate to the NBA. Segu has good handles, passing, and a great wingspan.

If Ronaldo grows 2-3 inches; gets stronger, and shows he can consistently hit 3's at college, then I think he can be a mix of Rondo and Brandon Jennings.

Let's say Silver announced in September, that the the 2018 draft will allow 18 yo's to forego college and allow them to go the NBA. With that in mind, what would be the rankings for the 2018 draft?

I didn't think Tyger Campbell would follow Heirman to DePaul. I think Bowen definitely ends up there now, if he already wasn't going to before.

I don't see it with Akot, how is he a 5*?

I guess maybe if you rate guys on their skill set or how they'll perform in college he could potentially be in that category, but in terms of NBA potential he's definitely not a top 15 player.

I think you see Marvin Bagley be in real contention for the top 3, but that's it in the top 5-7 at least. The top 5 of the 2018 draft would be insane with Bagley, Porter, Ayton, Doncic, and Bamba.
