All this hoarding mid draft picks going to start back firing on teams. Only so many roster spots. Teams are going to be giving away late 1st this year

what makes it worse is that the Euro classes haven't been nearly as deep, so there's less to stash. Many of those potential stash guys opted out of the draft because they know they can be first rounders next year.

The only logic I can remotely defend is that they believe a tall ass wing is more valuable than an athletic undersized PG should both reach their potential.

You don't draft on potential with a top 3 pick

Funny enough example is Melo vs Wiseman

How is he undersized when he rising above the rim?

Lamelo is a tall wing he's not as ball dominant as people think...he gotta get stronger though

In that draft, all those guys were based off potential rather than production.

Lmao how Melo was playing with grown men in Australia

I'm pro 14 yrs up you should go semi pro play with adults pros

Aau, holding kids backs, etc I'm against

Miller might be alright but with a top 3 pick I'm taking the kid that's already pro plus younger

I'm not saying I'd take Miller over Scoot.


But the NBL isn't some great league worth bragging about. LaMelo was still all about whether the size and skill set could translate. That wasn't based off his production.

It ain't about the league it's about the exposure and playing above your peers..not saying you ain't see it but it should be obvious he was destined to be a star in the Nba..

Dude still only 21 Miller is 20 see my point

Whole nother thread though

It’s with every pick … 19 year olds aren’t being drafted for what they are today they get drafted for what they’re going to be
