Re: The NBA Thread
also, i’m really pumped for this draft. super freaking deep. here are the player comps i have for most
Cunningham of course is leaps and bounds above everyone. best prospect jumper i’ve seen in a long time...add in his passing he’s pretty much Middleton with possible Doncic level passing. just meh athleticism and meh finishing in the paint
Green’s athleticism is ridiculous. Morant but with better touch at the rim and better shot
most of us have seen a bunch of Mobley. got that Chris Bosh body with Adebayo’s rim running/floater mindset. the ceiling is definitely there for a guy who can guard all 5 positions on score on the other end, just gotta get those reps in. i agree with the pundits that say he might have the highest ceiling, while the other two have a higher floor. will def make Cleveland super exciting
Suggs- people are really high on his defense while others are super low. i wasn’t impressed on that end. offensively obviously really good handler and shooter as we saw, i kinda hope Toronto skips him, but i doubt it. not sure Orlando needs him either. i worry about his ceiling at that size.
Barnes- apparently is Mother Theresa personality wise. very smart game, amazing size at SF, but the jump shot is brutal. pretty much a faster Kyle Anderson or a Ben Simmons unafraid to shoot and brick. would be great on an established team like Toronto or Golden State
Kuminga- superstar body and jump shot except it doesn’t go in lol. he’s got the tools but skill wise very green and unpolished. definitely fits Oklahoma City timeline. Siakam ish?
Wagner- people LOVE this guy. he’s so young and we saw a bunch of what he can do this year. really solid tools on both ends. could still slip to Memphis or Sacramento at 10-11 but could go as high as 7
Giddey- really big ball handler that will probably be on the wings in the NBA with some pg duties. unbelievable passer, needs a little more range, meh athleticism. high ceiling and floor, already playing well in the Olympics
Bouknight- his stock rose like crazy over the past few weeks. for a Connecticut comp he’s pretty much a taller Kemba Walker- good midrange, good handles, good craft at the rim. another comp i’ve seen is Gilgeous-Alexander
Sengun- huge rise in his stock followed by a recent fall. he’s apparently incredible in a decent Turkish league. undersized Jokic with similar skills and issues. not sure what that player is in the NBA. Millsap?
Haven’t done a ton of research past 10. obviously we saw a lot of Kispert and Mitchell, both of whom would fit in on every team. hopefully San Antonio gets one of them at 11. Mitchell’s stock is still heavily rising, along with Moses Moody
Keon Johnson has fallen a bit while Duarte, Jalen Johnson, and Trey Murphy are rising, don’t know much about them. Kai Jones is also a center i’ve seen mocked in the lottery
