I really think the top of this draft could be the best since 2003. Fultz/Ball/Tatum seemed destined to be all stars...and their are probably another 3 in the rest of the first round.

I don't see any Lebron or Wade level players

But this draft should have a lot of solid all star level players just not that player you can build a franchise around

No way. I love Tatum and Ball. But thinking they can be better than LeBron/Melo/Wade/Bosh is madness. 2003 is just behind 1984 and 1996 as the GOAT draft class. This will be a good class but it won't be that great.

2014 should be better if Embiid can stay healthy and Wiggins develops some killer instinct. I love the trio of Embiid, Wiggins, and LaVine alot more than any 3 you can make out of the 2017 draft class.

Who is Darko? Tatum has so much old man footwork it seems like hell play for 16 seasons to me.

It'll be Fultz. He's the bust. Okafor type bust. He'll never be great in the pros. He's a defensive liability so whatever he gives you offensively he'll take away defensively.

Simmons and Embiid will also reduce him into being a role player at best.

I been saying the East will be the dominant conference by 2020. Other than for Wiggins, Towns, and Ball, all the elite young talent is in the East.

Embiid, Giannis, Simmons, Porzingis, Tatum, LaVine, and Maker are all in the East.

That's 7 of the 10 future superstars of the NBA being in the Eastern Conference.

D'Tective is over there now as well.

Towns is also not as good as his numbers in the NBA. Dude is a more talent Kevin Love. His numbers don't make an impact on winning.
We got to stop judging wins on players under 24. Dude is young playing with all young dudes. It's not like when K Love came in the league at 21 and still hadn't made the playoffs 4 years in.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
and got blown out by like 60 against the only team that mattered

Miami is an up and coming team with an equally amazing coach and a front office that's proven time and time again that they can actually get shyt done in the offseason. Boston isn't winning next year so their ring pitch is a joke, they basically have to wait until LBJ is gone. By the time LBJ is gone.... Boston is just hoping that those assets will have turned into something. IT will be hitting that hump and Horford will be an even bigger liability than he already is.

Celtics trying to act like they're developing talent and win-now at the same time its NEVER worked in the NBA the way that they're doing it. Its just not a good look.

shyt, they went into this offseason looking at Fultz, Butler, PG, Hayward, and Griffin and now you're posting about Jamychal Green :wow:

But who has Miami signed? They haven't even resigned Johnson and waiters to bring back last years team that didn't make the playoffs in a shytty eastern conference...

Celtics have youth aside from two players, more picks (you still got picks going to Phoenix in the Dragic trade)

Going to the eastern conference finals is better than not making the playoffs moron
