This claim that Culver carried his team because he was so great died on a pole of hope this past year. As I stated, plenty of players in this draft were everything to their team's successes in college. Maybe you need to watch them and think about Culver's play in college and now the NBA when you are watching.
I've had all summer to watch plenty of games when I can find them. More then I usually have since I'm not a feverish college sports fan and this summer being unique. Usually there is a reason for me to seek them out. If I see particular play in a youtube highlights that interest me, If random stats searching I come across something interesting on a player I'll go seek out their games I can find to further confirm. If someone here presents something I haven't seen about a player, I'll go dig. etc...
I've seen Edward's games. The few Wiseman games and even his play going back to 2016-17-18 at other ball events. Sitting through wasted minutes or hours just to catch rare glimpses of him. I've seen a couple Ball highschool games or what is on youtube for those. I've avoided the Aussie league games as I don't think I would be able to compare that to anything. There's your top 3 you are so keen on. Happy now? I would be more interested in someone pointing out players that might be good but aren't going to be drafted.
You were discussing Culver with Neeva. I merely responded because you wouldn't answer his question regarding how often you watched these prospects. As such, I'm not sure what you posed to him or her.
I watched several games of Edwards during the college season. Living in the Southeast you get plenty of ACC and SEC games. From what the so-called experts say, I think their scouting report is fair, and therefore, I trust what they have written about other prospects. With Wiseman's short Memphis stint, I wasn't able to catch any of his games. Through Facebook Watch I did see a couple Ball games. Again, what's been written and said on him I agree with.

If anything we might gain more, as it was the sole individual purpose of watching the games for some of us. I don't watch college ball for entertainment. Maybe I should watch that instead and bail on this team and league.
Neeva's quesion for me was exactly what I described it as. A way for him to bail out of a conversation.
Good to know, that I'm free to. You never know these days who you are talking to.Baseline81 wrote:Jedzz wrote:That's great that you believe the hype. Good for you, all is right with your world.

How to the underline?
I watched enough Georgia games to where I felt I was able to get a good read on Edwards (strengths and weaknesses). The fact that others had the same conclusion does not make me believe their hype.
You're free to have your own opinion.

Wolves need rebounding, defense and a guy who can slam!

Can you imagine coming out with both Avdija and Okongwu just as an example?
C Towns
PF Okongwu
SF Avdija
SG Beasley (might have to be used in S&T)
PG Russell
C Reid
PF Layman
SF Culver
SG Okogie

Agreed....I know you like both guys like I do but if you had to choose one for the Wolves, who would you pick?

Right now OO is #2 on my Wolves board and Avdija is #3 so it would be Double O.

We should be a pair of socks because my personal Top 3 is an exact match.

How do you know? I didn't say who I had at #1.

Hornets fans I know on RealGM would not trade Washington straight up for #1 pick and if they did trade for #1 Wiseman would be the man.
Here's there big board through 10.
With the draft just over a month away I thought it a good time to get our big board up and going for this year.
We'll keep each picks thread open for a few days before I or another mod tally the votes, lock the thread and open the next pick thread.
Pick #1 = Wiseman (37% out of 30 total votes)
Pick #2 = Okongwu (48% out of 27 total votes)
Pick #3 = Edwards (45% out of 20 total votes)
Pick #4 = Ball (37% out of 27 total votes)
Pick #5 = Hayes (46% out of 26 total votes)
Pick #6 = Haliburton (48% out of 25 total votes)
Pick #7 = Avdija (58% out of 17 total votes)
Pick #8 = Vassell (42% out of 22 total votes)
Pick #9 = Okoro (56% out of 18 total votes)
Pick #10 = Williams (29% out of 17 total votes)
I'm a bit surprised by how low Avdija is to them.

Owners and GM's don't always do what the overwhelming majority think they should. Jordan like the Wolves have made a lot of bad moves over the years so you really never know. I guarantee most Wolves fans wanted Curry or Derozan over Flynn. If Edwards came into his practice motivated hitting his shots, hustling and Jordan sees a little of himself in Edwards he will do what it takes to get him.

The thing is MN wouldn't necessarily trade down to #3 if they weren't guaranteed one of Ball or Edwards being there for a second move down. Of course that might change if they really like Washington, but I don't think he would be offered to begin with. I think Bridges is more realistic. That said a 3-team deal with CHR looks like a possibility.
