Monster game for Ayton. This site better get ready to drop bagley to the 3 how it should be. As a Porter fan, he better come firing all cylinders because Ayton will dominate all season.

Watching him brought me flashes of Embiid.

Ive been talking about Porter vs Ayton being KD vs Oden 2.0. I think its really going in that direction… Like i said Porter better play great because i can see Ayton taking the 1 spot real quick if Porter slacks.

Season not even started yet

Impressive stat line, but lets keep in mind it was against Eastern New Mexico, a division II team whose tallest player was 6-foot-7

We better hope it’s not KD-Oden 2.0 for Ayton’s sake

 Is Porter/Bamba/Ayton/Bagley everybody’s top four (in some order)?  … is Donkic a clear 5-8 guy?

If all those 4 guys are Tier 1 guys (and the ONLY tier 1 dudes in the draft) then I can see teams at the top of the lotto picking for fit.  With Doncic? Luka Donkic?  aka Lucky Donkey Kong being one of the consolation prizes.  But Luca Brazzi has to do well in work outs.  Could wind up anywhere from 3 to 15 — you heard it here first!

Unless one of those bigs has DEFINITE unicorn potential, Porter, Jr. could be the "safe" pick if people think he can AT LEAST be the next Kyle Kuzma.  And, Kyle Kuzma aka KUZMANIA is a bad man.

Maybe this current rookie class is teaching us that you need guys who can FLAT OUT SCORE. So gimme a guy like Kuzma, or Markannen, or Tatum, or Dennis Smith, Jr.  So a Lonzo-type might not fare as well, or a Josh "Jack of All Trades" Jackson aka poor man’s Dr. J might not get it done.  Fox — yeah this league has a LOT of small guards, even if they ARE quick/fast.  Fultz? Maybe you stay away from guys like him.  The ironic/scary part is that the guy who most kinda resembles Markelle Fultz is GRAYSON ALLEN and he really isn’t at the top of anyone’s radar.  So, maybe stay away from smallish combo guards — at least in the top 5.  

I would break this draft down into about 4 tiers.  The POTENTIAL UNICORN BIG FOUR TIER aka Porter, Ayton, Bamba, and Bagley.  The Luka Doncic Tier aka Luka Doncic.  The Miles Bridges Tier.  Then the Grayson Allen Tier.  Finally, the Tacko Fall Tier towards the end of the draft.  Ok, that is 8 tiers.  You probably need a 9th tier which is the Tier between Doncic and Bridges.  If you want a 10th tier it will either be "Let’s try to find the next Kyle Kuzma" tier or the "ok, there is no Kyle Kuzma guy this late in the draft so let’s just get the next Jordan Bell" tier.

 There wasnt one player on that team taller than 4-feet.

All jokes aside Ayton has gotten alot bigger I didnt think he would fill out like that so fast, hes jacked for his age! I sort of thought he would end up being a skinny finesse Center but if he was to go anywhere to improve his agressiveness its to Arizona. Sean Miller did a great job making Markannen a physical rebounder last year and keeping him from floating on the perimeter and I see him doing the same with Ayton. 

Originally I thought Bagley had more potential but Id say Ayton is more athletic, taller, longer and has a similar skill level. Back to back great drafts. Its gonna be hard for any team to pass up on Ayton come draft time.

 The NBA Tankathon could begin by the end of the month.

 I don’t care how tall the defense was or even how many points he scored.  Ayton has one of the highest "eye test" scores i ever gave.  Ayton like Embiid looks like he was precision engineered in a lab to dominate the NBA.  Ayton looks like hes from an Annunaki All Star league.  Ayton prooves the existence of the Nephilim.  Ayton…ill stop.
