gradey dick is the next larry bird
Whitmore is going top 4
Really don't get Hendricks to Houston or Black to Indiana
I'd swap Walker and Hendricks imo. Pistons already loaded at big rn with Duren, Stewart, Wiseman, Bagley… No advantage in a 4 who can play five, when they have so many guys competing for center minutes already– so much so, that they're already giving Stewart and Bagley minutes at the four. They need wings!!! They badly need another quality wing option besides old Bogdanovic.
Meanwhile the Rockets are already loaded at wing and need someone who's going to be a defensive anchor next to Sengun, Walker is perfect for that job.
I’m glad your back on the Keyonte George train!
If mavs got top 4 pick. I'd want them to swap back an see if they can get both orlando picks or another first next year an stay in top 8. Get some draft capital
Gradey wouldn’t be there after 10 so Magic would get him with the first pick, ausar can’t shoot we don’t need more guards who do they same thing as other players on the team already, it would only take away team chemistry and ruin some of our player’s development
you clearly dont know the raptors very well they fired there coach because they need a culture reset they are not going to waste the 13th pick on someone that has off court problems lol they dont even sign people like that in free agancy
The heat don’t need a playmaker, they need a bucket getter. There’s almost no shot creation outside of jimmy & herro. Heat need to draft Bufkin, Sensabaugh, Jett Howard, maxwell Lewis or dariq whitehead (if his foot is good).
Brandon Miller is a good player but Mavs need defense(perimeter and interior), size and rebounding
Mavs already got 3 level scoring Jaden Hardy
Jarace Jalen Duren frontcourt would be nuts🔥
Whitmore didn't have a great season, he is basically Miles Bridges. He is overrated because of excitement, not reality.
Great job on the Thunder pick!
Ok I know everyone is mostly looking at the lottery picks but can we talk about how my Pistons choice Julian Strawther at 31? I mean he’s a phenomenal shooter but his defensive upside definitely concerns me long term. He’s like if livers best skill was offense instead of defense or a Kevin Hurter type player which I’m all for.
I hope they pick him or Jaime Jacquez Jr or Colby Jones if he falls (unlikely)
SA wants Amen if they don’t get Vic
Coach pls do Colby Jones.
If your team already has a good P&R ball handler and rim protector, just load up on shooters. It’s an easy hack to boost team chemistry, space the floor, and win more games. Spotup efficiency has the strongest correlation to win % by far out of all play-types.
I hope the Lakers draft 6'8 Kris Murray
If Danny Ainge gets the third pick he's taking Brandon Miller all day. There's no way he's taking Amen over him. Ainge will see Brandon Miller as the next Tatum.
Warriors should pick Kris Murray for sure!
I like these videos but it just seems like this guy never has anything bad to say about any prospect
I think 52 is the lowest I've seen Terquavion yet.
I’d rather have Sidy than Leonard for OKC due to how both of those guys play. But I understand the pick.
Adam did you not check Bobi's summer U20s tape with Sweden. The reason Klintman is rising is because he is extremely versatile offensively, he can initiate the offense or he can slot into that 3nD role.
I have wrapped my mind around the the thonpson hype, I love bufkin and Hendricks rising, I cannot understand Leonard Miller rising. His movements look so mechanical like he's having to think about everything he does before he does it.
My rockets better not end up on the 6th spot
warriors need a rim protector not another moses moody anthony lamb type. derek lively is the obvious pick imo
Jett Howard @ #23 is a no go. Blazers want 2 way players. I would say they go big man w/that pick.
I am sorry makes no sense okc taking gradey or takes gg Jackson then trades yo get another first and takes jett howard from Michigan another big time scorer
With Haliburton Mathurin and Nembhard, I wonder if the Pacers just trade down and go for a guy like Leonard Miller or GG with the 9th pick. Although it might be best to pick best available and figure it out later.

dont sleep in kobe bufkin guys❤
Leonard doesn’t make sense over bilal, Rupert, Jett, or even. Bufkin
Ain't no way my pistons drop to 5 lol
It will be fun to see if the draft order is really this way, it will be a great hit to the bottom 4 seeds this season!
