Extremely especially if you believe like I do that Serge is a couple years older than we first thought.

I agree but like I said you have to be careful of the end of the year young players to playing better because of their playing against teams tanking and resting starters

As a laker fan with pick #25 and #47 I would be happy with any combo of Troy Brown, Chandler Hutchison, De'Anthony Melton, Landry Shamet, Jontay porter, mitchell, Huerter, javeon Carter.
Feels good knowing our FO and scouts gonna nail the pick.
It's like damn near having a lottery pick.

Gone are the days of drafting Brian cook, Puke Walton, kareem Rush, Mark Madsens of the worldFeels good knowing our FO and scouts gonna nail the pick.
It's like damn near having a lottery pick.
Imagine having a GM who wanted to draft that michael sweetney built oaf Sean May just because he went to the same school as him.
That's Charlotte's problem
I agree on the first paragraph.
For Carter, as a college player, I didnt think there was much of a gap. As a pro prospect, there is a massive gap. Hes not just more athletic, hes an elite athlete at every athletic category. Carter is a solid athlete. I really feel Bagley is so athletic, it makes everyone around him not look athletic when those around him are all athletic. Carter biggest issue is he not the passer he needs to be to reach his potential. I keep saying it, he could be a better version of Brook Lopez.
I want no part of Miles. Feel like you can get everything he does from D-leaguer or second round pick. There's nothing he does that Jeffrey Taylor didn't do better in college.

I disagree with you about Carter as a passer. I'm just a huge fan of him and have a bit of a bias. I enjoy watching skilled PFs/Cs. I've seen Al Horford comparisons but he's nowhere near Al on defense. Carter is a solid man to man defender down low but needs to improve his lateral movement to guard the perimeter. I really have zero doubts about Carter offensively. His defense needs work but the tools are there. I watched almost every Duke game too. I definitely need a site I can go back and rewatch games.

Carter is a poor man's Dwight Howard to me...but he's a better shooter than Dwight could ever be

Wendell Carter at 19 is already better offensively than Dwight Howard has been in his entire career. Wendell is nowhere near the athlete and defender Dwight was tho. I don't like the comparison. Did you watch Carter play?

Your really low on Miles if you compare him to Jeff Taylor, players like him were never as productive or skilled as he was in college. I get how you think but I think the league values some of the things he’s good at. Elite Athlete, NBA Frame, Shooting Touch especially from the corner, ability to attack a closeout. All things minus athleticism that most athletes in like Jeff Taylor struggle with. A more fair comparison for Miles is similar to Jabari without the upside, but much better defender. I actually believe he’s turning I to a sleeper.

Yeah that was a bad comparison Wendell is more Al Horford if he gets his body right(pause) another player is David west but again he needs to get in real shape
