Ja is the best point guard in the draft. He’s gonna be really good

My biggest fear is the cavs winning the lottery and getting number 1 pick and they pick zion they get franchise player to replace lebron they are always lucky come draft time. I am not concerned the suns or the bulls get number 1 pick those 2 places are bunch of dumpster fires i don't think silver wants zion on either of those teams. The suns and bulls have both bad coaches, bad management, and bad owners.

What? The only sure thing in this draft is the first pick is going to be Zion. If for any reason the first pick team dont love Zions game, he will be a great trade chip.

Not picking Zion is not a concern. It is a 85% probability scenario.

My biggest concern is Lakers, Dallas or Boston picking Zion.

I doubt the lakers jump from there 11 spot to 1 plus most nba teams are mad at the lakers , then silver will be criticize by bunch owners and there is good possibility lose his job over that if the lakers get 1 pick. The celtics got the 14 pick and the 9 pick its going to be hard for them jump in this draft for zion. I doubt dallas jumps over any team they been to much bad news with that team with workplace harassment and kp news.

Gaines Jr believed in Frank, so pretty sure we can discount his opinions.

Agreed it would be so wrong.... If we didnt get him, let him go to Memphis or maybe Atlanta, but not those 3 teams.

There is no better talent evaluator.

I can see him trading SGA to Phx (they love Kentucky guys) to snag Ja if he’s there at two or three.

It’d kinda help both teams especially if the Clippers can maybe move a little more salary off their books in a deal. Just a thought.

morant actually finished at the rim worse than rj (who everybody complains about), let alone zion. jerry west is 80 now. everybody losses their fast ball eventually.

Wow Quentin Grimes declared and is hiring an agent?
Didn’t see that coming.
Interesting player. He’s not a bum.
Same category as Little.
Went to a team stacked with upperclassmen and didn’t “take” it from them or make much of an argument for themselves with their play.
He’d be an interesting second round pick.
And then again, this draft is really weak so maybe late first.

yea neither is that good at finishing. using more complete synergy rather than hoopsmath numbers, morant, rj and cam are all around 50-52%.

Silver has nothing to do with the lottery. It's not rigged. Just look at the percentages, that's all that matters.

Can you source that?

Cause last I saw, Ja was at 60% around the rim, which still isn't great especially considering competition level, but 50% doesn't seem right with his FG% overall, cause he's at 56% from 2, meaning he'd have to be like 60 or 70% from mid, which I know he ain't

Dude would be worse than Mudiay at the rim, and I don't think he's that bad

There's always one team that leap frogs...lets just hope its not one of those three.

Who do you take at 5???
