Wiseman really isn’t that good. He’s a physical specimen for sure, but that’s about it - he is very raw on both ends (though defense looked better than before with Memphis) and needs IQ work.

If Wiseman plays like he did in the first two games when he comes back, I am not sure how you can be disappointed with that. That’s a two way monster.

The only one I’ll probably be mad at is Cole Anthony. I’ll have to see more Wiseman. But I’d prefer to develop Mitch and fill our need in the backcourt

I feel you. But if Wiseman is as good as I think he is(we’ll see how he looks when he comes back), I am not passing him up. Sorry Mitch. Lol

Am glad to see the Ant-Man have a monster game but I don’t see him separating himself from Wiseman in anyway.

Ant-Man will have to improve his efficiency (still low shooting percentages) for this to happen.

Yeah if Wiseman continues to dominate, it’s gonna be hard to take anyone else over him imo. But man Edwards looks like a star in the making for sure.

What are your thoughts on Lamelo’s recent triple double game? I gotta say he looks really good and might be the real deal too.

As much as I love Mitch I can see him being taken out of the offense by good teams once we reach the playoffs.

For Wiseman I can see him creating problems for opponents and I think he can give Embiid all he can handle in a seven game series.

Agreed. We will need Wiseman against Embiid, Giannis, Siakam, etc.

I’ve been going back and forth on LaMelo LOL. My problem with the guards in this draft class is their low FG%, that is why I think Wiseman is still the safe bet for teams that would get the #1 pick.

Wiseman’s midrange shot seems to be money and I see him being like what Stat was for us in 2010 but with elite defense.

Ultimately I have more confidence in my talent evaluation for bigs rather than guards LOL which makes looking at this draft class extremely tricky.

But NO ONE has planted their flag in the jurisdiction of Edwards soil deeper than I have.

I am pounding the table on this dude. That's the guy we HAVE TO find a way to draft. Trade whatever assets need to be traded if we aren't in the draft slot to make the pick outright. But just get it done!

Why are we in a rush to stick our flags in a prospect before Thanksgiving? I need until Christmas to be comfortable with someone lol.

That shot making ability is just way too polished for an 18 year old

Kira Lewis - 18 year old sophomore (April 1991, if memory serves). Tweeted a bit about him last weekend - check him out. Not a top pick, but fun.

Will do, thanks

Edwards is going #1. Which means we're not gonna get him sadly.

those who've been watching Edwards how would he look with Frank, Mitchell and RJ?

I'd come away thrilled with cole anthony, decent chance we could pick 6-8 and get someone worse, I'm not going to be convinced we are picking top 4 until the lottery is over

All in on Anthony Edwards. Dude is separating himself early.

Too bad we literally never get any sort of luck our way..

ADeP7 · Post #1217 » by **ADeP7** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 3:34 am

Still same mindset. Good games or bad games. Move picks or whatever to get up and take Edwards

Then either sign van fleet or try and make a deal with golden state to get deangelo Russell. Knox trier randle whomever outside of Mitch and Barrett

D’Lo or van fleet
Ant-Man Edwards
Rj Barrett
?
Mitch

Tell me that core doesn’t look good to the free agents come 2021. A piece that wants to take us over the top

Y’all really doing this to y’all selves again?
In March and April we will win some games and end up between a 6th-9th lotto seed. Y’all need to start watching some Nico Mannion and N’Faly Dante clips...

Since when have the basketballs ever loved us?
Do we deserve their love?

ADeP7 · Post #1219 » by **ADeP7** » Wed Nov 27, 2019 3:44 am

Also this the exact reason we need Becky hammon as our coach.
Great PR and just like the nba helping the pelicans 2x With Zion and Anthony Davis the Cavs with Irving and lebron. Bulls with rose. The nba will want to load the deck for the first female coach in nba history for one of the most historic franchises. Create great press. Boom. Lottery rigged and we get the number 1 pick
