Competition caveat but look at Mikal Bridges' line

Me too. I hope he's good because it would be fun to have a big bully skilled center back in the league. Dude is built like alonzo morning.

I feel like Grayson Allen is gonna be a cross between George Hill and Delly in the NBA. I don't know what that means, I just feel like it's a thing.

MPJ probabbly goes 1, bags & Bomba after.

By the way,

Since Giannis won't be playing point guard, I'll take,

Isaac Bonga.

Thus the George Hill part. Like, he'll have George Hill's jumper and vertical athleticism (yay), but also have Delly's lateral quickness (boo) and neither guy's defensive instincts/IQ (dang).

I guess I've just never really viewed Hill as that athletic, but highlights of his early days reminded me otherwise.

He's going to be like a cross between Jimmer and The First NBA Player to Die on a Dunk Attempt.

Has anyone found the best alternative to DraftExpress yet? I can't take NBADraft.net seriously.

Ditto. Without Draft Express and ESPN/Big-10 Network, I've barely been able to watch any of the prospects this year. Would love it if anyone could recommend an alternative site. Until then, youtube highlights it is.

I know this is against weak competition, but if he continues to progress........ :o

Hope he doesn’t end up being the Lakers pick that goes to Boston.

I guess you never know, but right now that pick's more in the Kevin Knox part of the draft. Guy is such a prototype C, though. Reminds me so much of Ewing.
