With no end in sight to the pandemic, what if they just wait until next year and combine all of the prospects from the 2020 and 2021 Drafts and make it into one SUPER Draft?!

How would you manage that?

That's not happening.

If the current postponed season ever resumes or gets cancelled the draft will immediately follow it. I do think it's a little more than messed up how nothing has changed with the NCAA eligibility timelines given the push back etc.
If I was in college I would stay in college another year and go for the draft next year to avoid the lack of a real draft process

So this year's draft class just sits in limbo for an entire year, while teams with lottery picks get twice the benefit without playing a single game ??

Hampton
Edwards
Maxey
Haliburton
Onyeka

Yikes. We have totally different viewpoints on Green. I'm surprised you've maintained your confidence in Hampton for this long. Kudos to you. I've cooled on him quite a bit, but I think he's going to be better than what people think.

I'm quite shocked to see Butler and Tillman this high and Hayes and Lewis so low. Mannion in tier 2 after his dreadful shooting performance? I'm guessing your buying Reed's shot too.

I have a pretty clear top 4.

About half way through my Okongwu deep dive. Man, he was dominant defensively at the end of the Oregon game. He gets a bit too upright sometimes but when he’s dialed in he’s a beast.

i might be the only one who feels this way about mannion but i just can't really see him being a starter in a league with the current guard depth and his skill set. maybe i'm crazy but unless i'm the a system team who needs to plug in a guard for 15-20 min a night, i'm probably gonna pass.

You aren’t the only that feels that way. I certainly think he has potential to be a good back up point, but I think he’s a guy you pick 35-45 at best.

Draft junkies, what are your takes on Jahmi'us Ramsey?

No-Man · Post #712 » by **No-Man** » Thu May 7, 2020 11:49 am

I think he is Avery Bradley-ish/post injuries Eric Gordon

Buddy Hield is the closest comp I can think of.

He's underrated. Nice 3/D guard with some underrated athleticism. He could probably start for Houston right now ahead of Daniel House and Ben McLemore, and he'd fit right in.

Nice value pick getting a bit lost in the shuffle with all the guards in this draft.

What's crazy is The Ringer didn't even have him in the top 30 on their big board. :crazy:

Lost all respect for their draftniks.

I just noticed he's not even 19 yet and he's already a competent spot-up shooter at 42%+ on the season.

His freshman #s trump Hield's and Hield was drafted 6th overall. Makes you wonder if Ramsey will go top 10.

Has Buddy ever been that level of defender?

No, I don't think so. Not in college anyway. He posted some good steal rates in the neighborhood of ~2.7 but he never posted the stock rates that Ramsey has in his freshman year. I think that's what makes Ramsey enticing as a prospect. He's gotten Marcus Smart comps, but I don't know he will be that good of a defender. Smart posted some ridiculous defensive numbers in his freshman season, but he never posted the shooting numbers Ramsey did.

Yeah I definitely have Ramsey in my top 10. His offensive numbers are depressed by Texas Tech’s slow pace (plus the overall team was weaker than it’s been in the last couple years, like Zhaire Smith was able to play off of Culver and this year’s team has nobody even comparable). Also his volume and percentage on three-point shots for his age are more than enough for me to overlook his free throw percentage, at least enough for me to say he’ll be a decent shooter in addition to being plenty explosive for a 2-guard.
