If the knick,moves up i want luka or a sf. fukk taking a big man

 

[AVXL]

The defensive potential, a good floor space already, has NBA pedigree with his pops

He has the highest ceiling.

I watched him in College Park this season when my Terps choked their lead to MSU. Jackson showed the whole package in that comeback

My issue is his shot looks weird and this nikka fouls too much but with age will come wisdom

JJJ is the biggest bust in this draft. He was inconsistent and foul prone at MSU. The team that drafts him will regret it for years to come

 

[PoorAndDangerous]

This makes no sense why would they say they'd pick Bagley, they have second pick. No point of smokescreen.

These reporters just making shyt up about the Kings.

Would you really put it past the kings? Their organization is shyt

 

[Poitier]

Hot takes galore I’d say.

Your discrepancy between Sexton, who’s a wild but legit force offensively and all the making of a Jrue type defensively.

Jrue can guard all the way down to some 4s

Colin is a middling 3 pt shooter, good not great athlete, small, suspect vision, and not really able to play off ball. Looks like a 3rd guard imo unless he becomes an insane pull up shooter.

 

[Poitier]

Why so low on Knox, Okogie, MPJ?

Why so high on Huerter, Gary Clark and Jevon Carter?

Why the gap between Shamet and Milton?

Butter touch from 3 pt? You sure about that?

Can improve PNR defense and switching onto smalls but I think he gets there. Rim protection only 1 aspect of D.

I think bulking up will be key for him in addition to being an elite roll man.

Im not saying he's automatic like a Durant or Curry, but that his touch is soft from there. As long as he is allowed to improve/develop son will deliver.

 

[duckbutta]

they rejected you.

any real mavs should be embracing the opportunity to finally fix the 30 year black hole at the center position for this franchise.

Act like Erick Dampier never existed brehs

Can he be a DJ or CC type player?

 

[42 Monks]

Can he be a DJ or CC type player?

Deandre Jordan sucks and guys like Capella arent even hard to come by - the teams where they can be successful are. You put CC in the paint by himself in Orlando and watch what happens...

As a kings fan i literally cant tell u whos gona be the pick..

I know fans want luka (vlade does too)
Saw a tweet vivek wants bagley
And the the kings were high on porter all year bcuz they thought they were gona be drafting 7th

 

[str8up]

Agreed. I don't see it with him. He's being drafted because he's really good athletically.

I can't see Philly passing up Mikal Bridges to draft him either.

I feel like you could just wait and get a similar type of pick with Hami and you might not have to use a first rounder.
