2021 NBA Draft

[Chi town]

Well I am glad I had Suggs 2nd pre-season, the dude is just a pro already

Sure. I have him over Cade. He’s NBA trip dub ready. Seems so in control of the game.

Evan Mobley is clearly a beast

Not seeing it. Stromile Swift vibes.

Unless he’s a 5. If he’s a 5 then I can see significant value with his length and handle.

Adam Miller from Illinois looks good for a freshman. Don't think he's a high-end type of player, but he shoots in rhythm, can run and knows how to get to his spots. Dosunmu also looks like he's in for a big year.

Ayo reminds me so much of Jrue Holiday. Switchy combo that can shoot and score. Type every team needs as a starter or 3rd guard. Interested in his measurements. He looks long.

Miller reminds me of Adrian Griffin w his left shot and build.

I feel like I’ve been high on Dosunmu forever. I wanted him to come out two years ago. But he’s better now anyway. He was measured at 6’4 with almost a 6’9 wingspan, but maybe hes grown. He has almost a complete package. The next thing for his game will be to develop his handle and just keep on doing reps with his jumper. He can be really good when he develops his handle. He’s can stop and start his run so quickly.

Can Luka Garza be a poor man’s Jokic type C? Shoot, pass, score, playmaker, rebound?

Or would he just get abused in the PnR and become unplayable?

Cunningham looked really tired tonight. He still ended up with 20.

Hes been playing undersized teams so far. I really just don’t see his role in the NBA despite him killing teams at the moment. He’s so slow and can’t defend the perimeter. I also think he’s going to struggle against real NBA bigs.

[Marcus]

Cunningham looked really tired tonight. He still ended up with 20.

The intelligence really shines in how he picks his spots on drives and post ups. Does a really good job off ball on both ends of the floor. Just a lot of polish without a ton of flash. Size, strength, ability to finish, for some reason a better rush hour handle than initial attack handle which is just backwards lol and if that jumper proves to be an improved element then he takes off sooner. Really very Luka esque on those drives today complete with the bump then pumpfake for contact.

[Marcus]

Really do love the depth of this class

He was pretty much just forcing his way to the basket and laying it in. Lol they literally could not stop him.

The lwvel of competition is pretty bad. He reminds me of a bigger more athletic Cole Anthony as far as losing dominance advancing from HS to college.

He also reminds me of Luka in that he's incredibly skilled but his athleticism isn't elite. I'm waiting for all the "close to his celling already" comments that accompanied Luka.

Overall I see a guy who legitimately is a #1 pick contender in almost every draft. But I also don't see a sure fire future MVP.

As far as talents I have Cade ahead but if you really just break it down from a traditional point guard standpoint I like Suggs better. To me Cade looks like what they do with any great talent who could also dribble and pass, they put him at PG but like a Kobe or Wade he may be better suited as a ball dominant wing in the nba. I guess it really dont matter. Is Luka his teams SF or PG? Sortve both.

Mobley is completely different from Stromile Swift. Swift was an athletic freak with chiseled body, while Mobley is very skinnny, movement is fluid but doesn't really have a lift but very very skilled especially compared to bigmen.

Kentucky looks like complete garbage. What a terribly constructed roster on offense.

Kentucky looks like complete garbage. What a terribly constructed roster on offense.

Askew can't run any half court sets right now, starting all freshment 1-4 is a terrible idea by Cal, not sure what he's thinking...he should probably start Mintz with Boston in the back court, then Clarke/Jackson/Sarr, have Askew run the 2nd unit

[DirtyDez]

Nobody worth tanking for as of now. Had Ziaire Williams not played yet?

Would the Suns even be in the market for some tanking this year? Seems more like a turn the corner year or is that not the climate right now with the fan base?

Why would Mintz fix anything? Judging by his stats at Creighton, he's mediocre.

Seems to me they are just screwed. Maybe Cal should have recruited actual shooters/passers instead of grabbing a 3rd and 4th unskilled forward in the class.

because they'd have someone in the starting lineup capable of actually running a play for Boston/Clarke.

[clyde21]

Josh Christopher is a ridiculous athlete, not sure who he reminds me of but his movements/explosiveness is top tier in this class
