i hear people throwing around comps when he misses that he like such and such player. For example if Melo was missing he wasn't helping you on defense. So thats the thing. While he doesn't have the height of a PG13...he kinda has his overall impact because when he doesn't shoot for a high percentage he can still be effective on the defensive end on a nightly basis.

Remember he is also on Georgia, who's entire team is poop scadoop...for him to will that team in the 2nd half vs a NCAA champinonship team in Mich State and almost beat them is so impressive.

Lol I think the Melo comparison had to do more with his shot selection, not his defense bro.

One thing that is going unnoticed though is that Edwards is being coached by D wades former coach. Edwards has been compared to Wade a lot so I’m wondering how his coach feels about those comparisons.


wade's a good comp...but he is a much more developed shooter then Wade was in college.

If we were fortunate enough draft Edwards, especially without giving up picks or anything

Trade pieces Knox Dsj trier mavs 21,23 randle ?

You can try and sign Fred van fleet to be the pg or maybe dragic

If not that. Take the potential trade pieces try and snag a pg like D’Lo, Jrue holiday or Lonzo ball,

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.


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.

Yeah I feel that this draft is pretty tricky as well. You can literally make an argument for any of the guards being the best pick.

DX also feels like most teams in the NBA have Wiseman as the safe #1 as well. I wonder if that changes if Lamelo and Edwards continue to have strong games. That certainly makes things more interesting.

Stat with elite defense tho... :o perfect next to RJ.


Wiseman and RJ would be such a terrific pairing. I think those two guys can maximize each other’s strengths. It also helps that they are already close.

I think among the top prospects in this draft Wiseman is the best fit for RJ. I’d love to see RJ getting to handle the ball more and be given pick and roll/pop options.

Was watching North Carolina vs Alabama and fell asleep middle of the 2nd half. That was some crap basketball. Not coles best game either I’m not even sure how that Nc team is still undefeated they cannot score

People sleeping on how deadly they can be as a duo. This bout to be RJ x Wiseman

the system that's making money having these kids play is the same system asking this kid to pay. The NCAA is a joke.

I was texting with a scout last week about Wiseman about game, projection, etc, and they were not happy at all with the suspension.

Go all out like the mavs did and get edwards.. he is absolutely worth it. Then you go find your 3 and D facilitating point that fits with rj and Edwards.

Van fleet , dragic , try to trade for Lonzo or Jrue.
