My rankings before the draft are the same as right now. My resume is already out there. Last year I had Jayson Tatum rated as the #1 player in the draft BEFORE SUMMER LEAGUE. I also said Markelle Fultz would be a bust before the draft.

I'm right now telling you the guy who is allegedly ripping up Summer League (Kevin Knox) is not that good. So how can you say I'm using Summer League as the basis for my rankings. nikkas who know me around here know I put more stock in how a player looks (i.e. his face) than anything he does on the court. Kevin Knox's face is too ugly to be any good in the NBA.



Breh your trolling was to obvious in this post you need to dial it back a bit for it to be more realistic and entertaining.

I know it's only summer league but not really enthused by the job Nick Nurse has done with the Raptors.

Can't blame all the bad play on him but his rotations and lineups have been ridiculous

Chris Boucher and Hilnason have mostly been glued to the bench for a 30 year old Brazil league veteran and and a career minor leaguer.

Bouchers rim protection is amazing but he's just too thin to be a 5. Maybe he could be a poor unicorns Kristaps type guy at the 4 with his shot blocks, rim crashing and 3s

What's the word on him so far from a Hornet fan's point of view?
he has no idea where to be on the court. he's unsure of himself because he doesn't win the battles of physicality that he's used to. the spacing of the nba puts a strain on his ballhandling because he can no longer put the ball down once and be at the rim. his athleticism is really good, but its only good for short, straight line bursts. he can't rebound outside of his position. the nba 3pt line puts a huge strain on him. he doesn't have the mentality to be a high energy guy. he can't guard anyone, on ball or off.

at least mitch said he was a project. its good to know our coaching staff and front office aren't trying to force him out there to get shyt on.

in about two years he could be something special but the guy everyone is excited about is devonte graham
