None of us know shyt but some of these calls were easy to see...

Touting Zion as a can't miss pick was ALWAYS questionable, I and others questioned it the whole time. His weight was an issue at Duke, and he wasn't a good defensive player at Duke. Doesn't mean those things can't get corrected in the pros, but that's enough to question his viability as a transcendent basketball player...

Enters The League and immediately is missing time, weight and conditioning issues are worse, him being a limited scorer is highlighted even more now, and him being a sieve defensively is embarrassing given his size and athleticism. But none of these things were unpredictable, if your analysis of Zion was based on what you actually saw rather than his "potential" or talent....

I always thought Ja would be the better pro. Played with less talent in college and displayed a hunger for improvement you never saw with Zion that still continues in their third year. Granted, Ja's ceiling was iffy, but I think its clear now that we all know he is motivated to succeed his ceiling is way, way up there...

Trae led his team to a conference finals in an unorthodox season where injuries to potential opponents and playoff seeding broke in his favor. Gonna have to see that more than once to throw him a parade, still can justify picking him over Luka as of yet...

Ben was always overrated too. Some of these things weren't hard to envision...

Let’s say you did see these things yourself. It’s not unreasonable to say that the general consensus was this shyt was going to go one way. If any of us were ever curious we could search this very board for how people felt in all three instances. Nobody was reticent to draft Zion based on weight issues in school. Every front office was ready to change religious for his draft rights

As far as things breaking right for Trae look man…The Sixers were expected to win hands down like The Clippers were supposed to beat The Mavs. It’s nobody’s fault that Ben was being weird and Doc was Doc. They didn’t have home court advantage, they were down big and clawed back twice on the road if I’m not mistaken. Dallas went up 2-0, went home, was up by like 20 in the first quarter and lost the series. In my book? Advantage Trae

And why the hell is Trae being brought up in this thread when his team isn't even winning enough to be in a play-in position?
