He can’t shoot and has no feel for the game

I think he’s Jeff Green ish

You didn’t see Jeff green at Georgetown if that’s what you think of him. He wasn’t jsut some athlete. He hit game winners

Yeah Jeff was legit nice.That’s a weird comparison

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I have a feeling Kuminga can be the best player in the draft or at least top 2. To be honest I rather bet on his potential than draft Jalen Suggs who has a low ceiling to me.

Agreed. He’s like a year younger than this crop too. Played the least amount of basketball. But has some elite tools and has flashed some crazy inherent skills. I think he’s gonna be big time. Especially if he goes to Toronto

 

[Rigby.]

I don't see that happening at all.

Even if scouts feel Barnes has passed Kuminga (which I think is idiotic and the love affair with Barnes is nuts), that means someone else has to come up and surpass him. As a raw product, Kuminga is better than every other raw prospect and if it's for a better day 1 product, any team picking in the top 6 would be woefully misguided to go that route.

You don’t think Scottie has a more complete overall game? Like Kuminga obv has the higher ceiling, but Scot has less “if I gain this skill, I can be a franchise piece” required

They both have the same weakness, only Barnes is 14 months older than him. Barnes has a more well rounded do-shyt game at the moment, but when the Hollinger’s and Ford’s are like “I’d take him and start him at PG” if the best PG in this draft is arguably Scottie Barnes, then this is a horrible draft for PG’s.

Overrated draft imo

Wizards taking Sengun

I'll vehemently disagree on the bolded. Kuminga has first team all-defensive potential. Mobley won't be better overall than Wiseman.

Mobley's best attribute on D is that he doesn't foul, but in the NBA that could lead to him giving up buckets just to avoid fouling.

huh? I don’t agree at all Mobleys got tremendous potential on D. I don’t think any gm would take Wiseman over him

Those same scouts were all gushing over Wiseman a year ago with much less game tape.

I heard the same thing from Hollinger…I was hesitant to go that far
I’d have to look more thoroughly thru Kum’s GLeague film. I’m familiar with his HS ability from the recruiting cycle and their first GLeague game, which seemed to be one of JK and JG’s better games from what I’ve heard.

Okoro-Mob-Allen could be an incredible defensive front court

dk whats the solution in terms of shooting there. Natural progression and hope or look to flip one. I really like what Isaac looked like down the stretch, but who knows how reliable that is (and I’m biased)

That mock also had JT going to Orlando a Magic type of pick if one has ever existed
