Re: Dennis Smith Jr
kids a stud, I dont think theres a decent comparison for him, NBA spacing will do him wonders. Sure he's not Rose or Wall in talent, but I think he's more aggressive and plays bigger than he is.
I'll go with something between Lowry and Westbrook.

Lol i read that as Hardaway Jr and was thinking WTF lol.
I'm hoping he falls to the Knicks bad.
I like the Starbury comp.

Do you think the Knicks will take him if he's there at 8? I hear Phil is really high on Ntilikina.

Re: Dennis Smith Jr
Marbury was a far better passer and leader. With a higher court IQ. Athletically they are similar. It's unfortunate that we may never get to see high school DSJ. He was one of the most dominant guard prospects ive honestly ever seen. There was a highlight of him working other players in a one on one drill that was just beyond impressive.

I see 2-3 allstars from this class and this kid will be one of them. Fairly confident he can average just shy off 30 at his peak.
In reference to our title winning year

I hope so, but Phil probably goes Frank

I don't think Rose and wall would go #1 in this draft. Stylistically he reminds me of Chris paul and baron davis..I think he will be a Kevin Johnson level player.

By looking at his highlights, he reminds of Bledsoe

Better than both. Would've been perfect on the Pels tbh

If he falls to 10, I'm going to start questioning the Cousins trade.

I wish. How many first round picks do we have to trade for that.

Break out game. 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists versus John Wall.
