Oh yeah, reminds me Bam. Less athlethic probably, but better rim protector and has a jump shot already

Jesus this kid looks like he sits in front of his parents in parent-teacher conferences

The more I watch him, the more I doubt his superstar status but, if he somehow comes to the league able to play 1-4 and sometimes 5 he can be special.

Yeah, Williams and Bridges are two of my favourite guys from this class. Shame we will get nowhere near them.

Zion is either going to be Randle or Kemp. It's a shame he didn't go to a prep school like IMG.

However, you can see what he looks like against his best competition in the Adidas camp and how he just demolished his competition. Wonder how he's going to look against men instead of boys.

Wish we had a shot at Doncic. Him and Gogi together would be right in the feels.

Jontay Porter is pretty good.

Would still take either of them with aplomb. Don't watch much media so I miss out on all the outside influencers. I expected Trae to get hounded at some point. He's THE player for OU. Nobody else is going to beat you.

Too bad we don't have a pick in this draft. I'd trade Micky Arison for about 4 top ten picks. I've got more guys I love in this draft than in recent years. A lot of guys I liked really stepped up their games, and others have come out of the woodwork. Excellent draft potential as the season has progressed.

Simons? Haven't watched him yet. Still stuck on this year's unattainable draftees.

Follow the link to see how definitive the tank has become this year. Ten teams pretty much a lock to finish in the lottery already. Pretty crazy.

Not a fan of Cs who can't defend and have motor problems. It's almost impossible to build a good defense around those players, like for instance KAT. And KAT was a way better prospect.

That's understandable but with his tools/age, hard to put him behind the top 5/top 3 bigs.

I'd accept any order of Ayton/Bamba/Bagley/RWilliams in top 8
