On Alperen Sengun, Tim Cato said: “Look, I love Şengün. He has defensive faults and might have been typecast into another role a decade ago. But Nikola Jokić and Domantas Sabonis have made it clear centers can be primary offensive initiators, too, and I’m all in on Şengün turning into the league’s next great one. Putting him next to a center like Jackson feels like the best way to minimize his weaknesses, too.”
Also Cato: “Love my dudes. Can’t wait to see them play together. They all got that dawg in ‘em. Şengün solves some half-court issues we’ve seen with both Morant and Garland’s offenses, and pairing him with Jackson is the best way to maximize him.”
Which players will we regret not selecting?
Edwards: Jalen Green is the top one for me. His upside as a scorer is as high as anyone we drafted. I’m just not sure, right now, that he’ll be much more than that. Jaden Ivey is another player who I’m sure we’ll regret not selecting. The rapid pace in which he improved as a rookie suggests to me that he could be a real problem five years from now. Giddey deserves love here, too, but we were trying to build a team, and the guard pool is just too talented.

Ok, I am a Sengun Fanboy and love to see this but not picking Jalen Green is just disrespectful.
It’s crazy how much young talent there is in the league rn
I really hope NBA FO’s aren’t as down on Green/Jabari as the media appears to be.
That list is dog shit
Oh the off season – where no one pays attention unless you say some controversial bullshit that means nothing in 5 years when you are wrong.
SMH we still being punished for not bending over to the warriors dynasty
TEAM VORKUNOV has the most sane in selections, and even some of those were hard stretches. bolded the yikes picks.
Anthony Edwards
Tyrese Haliburton
Paolo Banchero
LaMelo Ball
**Walker Kessler**
Franz Wagner
**Jalen Williams**
**Immanuel Quickley**
Sengun outside of the top ten is suspect but no other Rockets given we got Green shows this group has terrible vision on players as well shows these guys have terrible visions of what talent is.
Its 24 selections. 3 people, 8 players each.
Idc how much you dont like green, the last 2 rds are hogwash. No way is any sane person taking these 6 players over green.
Jalen Williams
Tyler Herro
RJ Barrett
Jalen Duren
Trey Murphy III
Immanuel Quickley
This is why people dont pay for the athletic.
Trashhhhhhhhhh
As a Pistons Fan.. that’s disrespectful AF green is a stud.. I’ve seen soo much jalen Green slander and I’m so confused why
Edwards as in James Edwards the 3rd, Pistons writer? Yeah Im sure he has reasons to pick Ivey over Jalen lmao.
