The fact that there may be some NBA players in the second round doesn't make a draft "historically" deep. It makes it normal.


That's being disengenuous because you know that's not what I was saying.

Players as deep as 60 in this draft could be as 40 in many drafts.

I don't think you could possibly know that.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

It's an opinion, a projection, just like everything on this board.

I could similarly quote you saying -

It looks pretty bad.


..And say 'I don't think you could possibly know that' as well.

But, in my opinion, Gam's, and I would imagine the majority of the board, this is a deep draft compared to most.

You're just being difficult.

Hey what can I say I'm a Warriors fan. My standards are pretty high these days.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

will be curious where Jordan Bell falls, seems like maybe he could sneak into the end of the first round now, scouts seem to love him.

I wonder who he is talking to? Like how can this be a real quote in reference to Josh Jackson:

"If he’s able to shoot, he’ll be a Grant Hill or an Iguodala. If he doesn’t, he’ll be like Corey Brewer, which is still pretty good.”

How can there be any NBA level scouts that thinks that if Jackson ends up "like Corey Brewer" that will still be "pretty good". Does this scout think that if you drafted Corey Brewer 3rd overall you'd be doing "pretty good". If I were an NBA owner I would pay Davis to tell me who said that and if they were part of my organization I would fire that scout immediately.

The difference between Iggy and Brewer is immense, but it has little to do with shooting.

I agree that John Collins will be able to be an elite level scorer.

Only if he can shoot 3's.

I guess none of the scouts interviewed looked at any of the International players.
