That begs the question... Who do you take #1 when you most likely will have #1 next year.. I believe you have to take the best player available regardless of your current roster..

Best case scenario for Boston is they wind up with Bamba.

He isn't a good mid-range shooter, and then you add in his form and it will be damn near impossible for him to do that at the NBA level.

There were a few possessions in that first UK game that were concerning. He could not get by Bam off the bounce and the pressure by De'aaron bothered him to the point where they put Holiday on the ball.

Jaylen brown plus 2 number 1 overall picks? :gucci:




Absolutely disgusting :scust:


Who cares? They're picking a bust this year (Markelle Fultz) and next year's draft is epically weak.

The best players of the future are already in the league. They came in the 2013-2016 drafts.

The following players will decide who wins the championship from 2020-2026.

1. Joel Embiid (Sixers)
2. Andrew Wiggins (Timberwolves)
3. Ben Simmons (Sixers)
4. Giannis Antentokounmpo (Bucks)
5. Karl Anthony-Towns (Timberwolves)

As you can see from this list, expect to see alot of matchups between the Timberwolves, Sixers, and Bucks in the NBA finals.

So u think that was the goal

For this season, yes.

You have to remember that Boston is in Year 4 of a rebuild process. The Cs are way ahead of schedule, hence, why they're in an enviable position in terms of how they can plan for the present and the future.

:mjlol: using plays from college to judge a player in hilarious. two different games.

The only things that translate from college to the NBA is size, length, athleticism, and skills. Lonzo got all those bases covered.

He's the surest thing to a star in this draft aside from Jayson Tatum. The rest of this draft is filled with role players and b-level stars.

The Sixers or Suns would do the money dance if the Lakers pass on Ball for JJ :mjlol:

DLO aint a PG and Ingram aint a small ball 4. On top of that, JJ is closer to Iggy than Tmac :pachaha:

I'll give you the Bucks cuz of Greek freak but minny and Philly?

I threw the Bucks in there cause I like Giannis but Timberwolves and Sixers got the best young cores and the best chance to be dynasties in the future.

Minnesota has the best young trio in the NBA. Wiggins, Towns, and LaVine are surefire all-stars and all 3 are potential SUPERSTARS. And the Sixers might have the most dominant duo of the future with Embiid and Simmons. Both are surefire SUPERSTARS imo.

Giannis is a SUPERSTAR as well but he's kinda there by himself in Milwaukee. I think he could end up becoming the next LeBron or Durant. A super talented player that can never quite get over the hump to win a championship on his first team so he'll leave for another team.

Stop trying to make Rudy Gay with the athleticism of post Achilles Kobe happen. Tatum isn't a sure fire star. Lonzo isn't a guaranteed hall of famer.
