DeAndre Ayton will be the 1st overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft

[Lootpack]

I'm on the Porter train until further notice... I'm feeling like this is a good year for the Bulls to be trash. I like all of the current top 5 prospects.

All day, everyday. That man is going to be special.

and why is Ayton 19 but looks like he's in his mid 30s? He legit looks like a player from the 90s.

But real talk though, Lopez will be gone by then and we'll need a big. Ayton and Lauri could look nice together.

I know he's taller than Dwight. I was comparing more their physique than measureables. His build is very similar to Dwight. Similar broad shoulders.

He's not built like Robinson who was more of a slim cut 7-footer.

I don’t know they look very similar around the same age.

 

[#1 pick]

This dude has already locked up the #1 overall pick.



I like Mohamed Bamba to go #2 overall.

Loved his activity on the defensive end. Could get quicker on rotations and I wish I would have watched the game but man, he's clearly Hawks material. He could fit in our system.

Famo a grown man on that court

Look like a man among boys, hard for me to really gauge those guys who have huge physical advantages on the college level.

Not at all, you look at everything. Movement, decision making, quickness, etc. I could care less about his stats unless something stands out.

Just watched several high light videos, what do you think about his shooting range and rim protection? Most of the highlights are him dominating smaller players in the paint. I think Okafor is a cautionary tale about how that classic back to the basket game is not really valued in the NBA if you can't rim protect or shoot.
Granted this dude looks way more athletic and bouncy than Okafor (and better rebounder) which I guess can translate to defensive potential

Ayton can definitely shoot.

And his mobility and length will make him a terrifying defender at all 3 levels even if he won't lead the league in shot blocks or whatever.

His form on his jumper is nice. Coach Bud will have him pulling from 3 in no time.

Dude is outstanding. Great footwork in the post, great passer, great on the boards. With the way he and Trier are playing... man if we don't win the championship this year....

You known the reason y’all won’t win right?

 

[Forlife44]

Is he 30?

 

[Malta]

Is he 30?

He just aged quickly over the last 3-4 years, he looked his age here in 2013 -

I hate Dook, but Bagley looks legit

There's no one worthy of tanking for this year. The future superstars of the NBA are all in the league right now.

Unless your team can get one of the following 6 players you ain't seeing a ring this next decade:

1. Joel Embiid
2. Andrew Wiggins
3. Giannis Antentokounmpo
4. Ben Simmons
5. Kristaps Porzingis
6. Karl-Anthony Towns

These 6 players will decide who wins championships from 2020-2027.

Anthony Davis and kyrie irving and khawai Leonard would like a word with you
