nikkas really think Mo Bamba is going to be a good player. :mjlol:

Dude is 3 years protect at best. :mjlol:

This reminds me of Frank Nicotine and Knicks fans. :mjlol:

But but he's a great defensive player with a long wing span. :mjlol:

Same shyt was said about Frank Nicotine last year. :mjlol:

Frank Nicotine is going to be better than Dennis Smith in the long run. :mjlol:

Completely different situation. You can have a center that does nothing but give you defense because he anchors the defense. Just like how you can have a point guard that does nothing but give you offense.

What you can't do is have a point guard that only gives you defense or a center that only gives you offense, they become liabilities.

Plus Bamba looks like he'll be more advanced offensively than Gobert and Capela anyway who I feel are his NBA comps. Who by the way are really good players

Sexton is going to be the best point guard in this draft IMO. :yeshrug:

I hope y'all don't pull a June 2017 New York Knicks.

He might be but he's not the type of PG that orlando needs at all. Orlando needs spacing, Sexton can hit the open shot but hes a more well rounded scorer that also gives you defense

A center can't only give you defense in today's NBA breh.

I see the same nikkas big upping players every year that turnout to be trash. :camby:

shyt nikkas in here was saying Andrew Wiggins was the next LeBron. :camby:

Elite size for a combo forward.
A floor spacer who can put it on the deck.
Great rebounder.
He just has great scoring instincts and knows where to find spaces to score.

He isnt the best ballhandler as he is stiff and plays upright so I dont think you give it to him in the halfcourt and ask him to get you a bucket. Doesnt have Tatum or Jabari’s footwork.

Can’t say much about his defense since he got injured. I also have questions about his finishing ability since he isnt super bouncy though his percentages were great in AAU.

A more efficient and better rebounding Harrison Barnes? If he can play offball, he’d be an ideal 2nd option in that scenario.

If his back checks out he's a no brainer for me. His draft has dropped because of injury resulting in a steal following the embiid model. I'd trade beal or porter for him tbh and have big wings.

Sorry but I don't respect anyone talent evaluation that doesn't think Mo Bamba is going to be anything but a Bust. :yeshrug:

Same way I felt about Nerlens Noel and Hasheem Thabeet coming out.


Nerlens had a questionable frame that wasn't gonna bulk up and went into an unstable situation. Thabeet was mentally frail. I don't see the similarities.
