Is there anyone in this Draft that you aren't sold on?

I disagree on Avdija. Dude can shoot and is a willing shooter. Often he’s been the best player on his team when he was playing up age divisions. I don’t think he’s going to be an alpha on any team he’s on, but a complementary piece in a good team. He’s not gonna be Doncic. If you’re expecting that from him, you will be disappointed.
Definitely agree on Cole Anthony. Undersized gunner. If you’re drafting someone in the lottery, you’re gonna want a starting calibre player, not a potential bench spark plug.

The one guy I see anywhere from late lottery to late 1st round that I am not sold on is Jahmius Ramsey.

I agree Isaac Okoro doesn’t have a high upside I see him like a Justin Anderson type player role player off the bench.
I also agree Cole Anthony is best suited in a 6th man type role like Austin Rivers.
I disagree with you on Obi Toppin I think he is going to be a stud (All Star/All NBA player). I think he is going to thrive as a multi-level scorer that can pick and pop or roll. He reminds me a lot of Amare Stoudemire.

I’m not really sold on Toppin. Definitely wouldn’t take him top 5 and I think 10-20 should be more his range. A lot of his dominance in college was based on athleticism and he won’t have that same advantage against NBA defenders. At this stage, his defensive awareness is lacking and he doesn’t move his feet particularly well. I think he’s going to struggle in the pick and roll and defending smaller players in space. His offensive game also isn’t very advanced at this stage either. He can shoot it with range and can be effective as a roll man. However, he doesn’t have much of an off the bounce game and can’t really create offense. He doesn’t have much of a post game to exploit mismatches.
I think he has the ability to develop into a quality player in time, but I’m not sure he is currently as NBA ready as everyone seems to believe and I also don’t know how high his ceiling is compared to some of the other players in the draft. I think he might be a guy who could be better off on a veteran team with a lesser role, where expectations might not be as high right away.

I agree with Isaac Okoro except he will be in the league. Hes topo solid at defense, but unless he can shoot he wont be anything more than a role player

People are really overvaluing Deni because of Luka. To me, he’s not just that. Not yet anyways and he’s a guy that needs a right fit in order to succeed otherwise he’ll fail.

I see Deni more as a Nicolas Batum type. Maybe not a star, but a really solid all around 3

Dang it’s been a while. Some of the old guys might remember me…

Anyways, one guy that I’m not sold on at all is Nico Mannion which sucks because coming into college I was a huge fan of his game but he didn’t translate well at all. His shooting numbers were really bad for a PG and he wasn’t the playmaker I thought he could be for Arizona. And I know shooting wasn’t necessarily his strong suit coming into college but with below average athleticism and lack of explosive playmaking I just don’t see where he fits in the league aside from a backup PG which isn’t worth a lottery pick.

That’s the only guy that sticks out to me.

And it’s good to be back.

Where’d the thumbs down button go?

Nico Mannion reminds me of Landry Shamet def would take him late 1st rather than late lottery.
Tre Jones reminds me of Jarrett Jack, I think he is actually kind of underrated if he goes in his mid 2nd to late 2nd range he is being projected.

This is shaping up to be one of the worst drafts ever. I could make a case for selecting Cj Ellebe in the top five. I can’t wait for Bill Simmons to do a redraftables on this one
