When you’re a strong defensive rebounder and can pick pocket and get in the passing lanes and have good ball instincts you bring value as a defender as a PGHe does. He can’t get away with gambling on defense if he doesn’t have a strong defender alongside him and he won’t to start out. He has potential but the first 2 years are gonna be tough.
Very high hips and narrow shoulders. Frankenstein shytwhat's the fascination with obi toppin?
bruh is the most stiff player ive ever seen. even his athletic plays are stiff. let me find out he's another kevin knox
Nobody gives a fukk about them corny ass interviews
They be asking players dumb shyt like if your friend got arrested would you lie to get him out
He’s the favorite because he’s the best playmaker in the draft at 6’8 with the most star potential and has been playing ahead of his age level since he was 13

How much time do you think the #1 team in this case has to wait on Ball? (Or anyone really?)Yeah, that was their rationale behind teams wanting to take him #1. This draft has no sure fire stars anyways. Why not swing for the fences and take the 6'8 guy with passing ability? He's not efficient though, but neither is Anthony Edwards
Something else interesting that Givony said during the podcast. His top 3 for this draft would be LaMelo, Okongwu and Okoro.
Yeah, I don't see it either. They said he was the "most NBA ready" player on this podcast.
This LaMelo shyt makes no sense to me. Maybe I'll be dead wrong and people will up my posts to clown in a few years but this kid is not that athletic, he's frail, has poor shooting fundamentals (and also shot terribly in Australia), trash defensively and will struggle in the half court.
How the fukk is all that the ingredients for a #1 pick? Sounds like some shyt bozo @smitty22 would say about another osu qb bust in the making.
At least Lonzo is athletic and terrific defensively.

This is true but so did his brother who transformed himself to a 38% 3PT on 6 attempts last season. It can be worked on he can create his shot and he does have range, his mechanics are also better out catch and shoot situations. His Australia sample size is small. He won’t be an efficient shooter out the gate but he’ll have gravity and be streaky like a Marcus Smart.

All those teams up top don’t have the kind of time to wait for guys to maybe look good. That’s why Detroit and NY are appealing. They can afford to wait and put all their resources into his development.
As for Obi, I maintain that he’ll wind up like Antawn Jamison.
this the first time someone vocalized the weird shyt about his build I was thinking. he's a tweener in more ways than height and weight lolVery high hips and narrow shoulders. Frankenstein shyt
He’s gonna be good on offense though
Mfs think LaMelo is Kyle Anderson as an athlete, built like Bol Bol, Trae Young status defensively, and has Russell Westbrook’s jump shot
its shocking he's not going undrafted
