I'd agree, but you gotta start making good on these picks somehow and I think that's the way to go.

If Toppin comes in as an immediate impact player, great, but I think it'll hurt more in the long run. I think they should start giving the keys to Barrett and if he flops then other guys can be given the keys later.


You dont give the keys to a car to a dude who shows you he struggles riding a bicycle sorry rj has to improve alot...his shot is broken, his handle going right is nonexistent, he cant shoot free throws and he is only skillset that is nba level is attacking the rack and he is slightly above average...let him improve first but no coach worth his brain can look at rj's rookie season with those flaws and build an offense around him...thats dangerous

hese guys are spot on about the draft telecast from ESPN. It always sounds like a damn soap opera. We don’t want to hear all that, we watch for analysis and reactions to picks, save all the sentimental shyt for E:60 and sportscenter segments. Or better yet, broadcast on two separate stations, one for casuals, the other for deep analysis.

Aleksej has a really nice feel for the game and really knows how to pass the ball and make the right decisions. He’s really a 7-0 guard who makes dribbling and passing the ball look effortless. It’s very rare to find a player his size and age that can dribble, play-make and see the floor like Poku.



Liking this pick it has real upside

Not even going to front, I didn't know who this guy was 2 days ago.Looking at his highlights, I don't see much

difference between him and Jaren Jackson Jr.Saw some publications giving the Suns a "D" grade for drafting

this guy at #10.Same folks who gave them A's for drafting Josh Jackson & Dragan Bender and an "F" for

drafting Cam Johnson:ehh:

Gonna be a lot of guys without jobs if there's no G-League. Remember, Euroleague/Asia ball is already under way...

There's going to be a scramble for guys to take contracts asap with training camp starting on the 1st. Some teams already start their mini camps tomorrow without a full roster, like the Raps so these undrafted guys need to accept deals immediately if they get it.

I could see Suns fans still having remorse after the last big they drafted from Maryland. But if he develops into a Myles Turner type, then y'all should be fine.

Highlights only, Killian Hayes looked good.
Obi definitely reminds me of Amare but that’s because of the build/dunks. I’m pretty sure Amare is taller.

Not really impressed by Edwards but that’s solely off of some top 10 clip from YouTube.

I have to check out IQ but he seems like a good player.

Haven’t followed anyone really so I have no real opinion.

Alex Len:scust:........But this dude seems under the radar.



So really he's the only one....Shot 38% from 3pt range on nearly 4 attempts a game.

75% Ft shooter.Good defender/shot blocker....Guess it's his skinny legs/weak base.

Just looking at his numbers and watching tape, you'd figure he could be a top 5 pick

He's going to a perfect situation with CP3.This guy could be a Serge Ibaka/Jaren Jackson

type of player.The prototypical 4/5 for todays NBA.
