2020-2021 College/Draft Thread 2

[ibraheim718]

I've got Kuminga right there with Suggs.

Kuminga's balance, use of both hands, able to go both ways, ability to play with his back to the basket and handle the ball, great passer.

FUQQQQ somebody is going to get a flat out stud if they draft him. Surefire franchise player.

thats strong coming from you...its like that?

You know me context I get excited. But I wasn't prepared to see such a complete game from him. If you re-watch the highlights.. he went right and left a lot and looked pretty natural doing it. Physically he looked pretty mature for a teenager. The bounce pass, the form on his jumper and the balance he played with screamed NBA-ready to me (you won't remember but I was high on Gobert before anyone because of the balance in his movements) and then the block. He looks like he can do everything. I was really impressed with him and he wasn't even on my radar because I haven't had the chance to see him play yet.

Green looked nice too.. but he looks rawer.

yeah, i watched the highlights and you described it perfectly...I got 5 1st round draft picks in BAF this year so- I'm going into the draft rabbit hole early I dont see you use those words that often so I had to double check

Bruh... ready day 1 to lead a team to the playoffs. What a debut. That dime he dropped.

I’m tryna watch RJ & Kuminga vs. Brown & Tatum for the next decade

[thebuzzardman]

Better start investigating guys who are in the teens, because Knicks want to win and Dallas is turning it around.

Knicks gonna Knick.

What teams that are better than the Knicks but didn't chase useless wins, are going to wind up with Cade, Suggs, Kuminga?

Knicks are going to trade up their two picks to get Kuminga? Because they won't be picking high enough to get him outright.

Depends on how them lottery balls fall. Depends on which teams land where and their needs compared to ours. A lot of variables. I’d try to include Mitch and Knox. Pistons pick too.

Kid might be the best athlete in this draft.

Dallas may be putting some wins together, but they still dont look quite right... and the western teams ahead of them who played tonight all won.

I'd honestly trade both picks and one of obi or mitch to get in the top 5.

Oladipo is definitely it.

Overrated.
Injury history.
Age fits the timeline of none of the youth
Elevates the team to a borderline .500 1st round exit treadmill
Knicks will trade multiple #1's for him.

He still fat. Imagine when he actually gets paid.

This kids being going off ever since they started playing him more minutes. Def not as good of an athlete as Keon Johnson but def a plus nba athletes. Plus it looks like he’s already got an outside shot. He’s def my late lottery guard right now.

Springer's gunna be good, he's like a smaller RJ:

Plus athlete, though not freakish. Excellent strength for his age with a powerful frame. Nice sense for mixing his strength & craftiness when attacking the basket. Struggled with tunnel vision to start his college career, but has shown some nice playmaking potential since settling in more...though it's still something I want to see more from him & is something that initially put me off him. Very good defender, who projects to excel on that end at the next level. And the shot looks like it's coming along nicely, sooner or later it'll become a reliable weapon for him...even if it isn't as smooth as the Moody's & Ziaire's of the class.

He's joined Keon & Butler as my favorite guards outside of the top 10; doing a nice job of splitting the difference between the two of them wrt balancing upside & readiness...Keon's ceiling is insane, but the floor is a bench defender who hurts your spacing; Butler's ceiling may be an FVV-level starter, but whether he gets all of the way there or not, he will be a quality guard in this league for a long time; while Springer has all of the talent to become a good top 3 option in the NBA & he doesn't have anywhere near as far to go to get there as Keon does.

Anyone that wants to make the playoffs this year is an idiot, the amount of quality players in the top 10 of this draft is just crazy. Sorry, but I don't want brownie points for getting clubbed to death by the Sixers, the top 2 teams in the East would beat us in 4, they are both equally awful matchups for us. I'd much rather have a chance at drafting Cade/Kuminga/Mobley etc.

preach.

If we wanna out tank Minnesota, Washington & Detroit, who is going to Tonya-Harding RJ & Mitch? Those are the only teams who are clearly in a lower tier than we are, and we're not catching them without major injuries to the core.
