I think Foster, who sucks, Hardy and Griffin will join next year, I think Sotto does a 2nd year since he had to leave this one, Efton Reid def a possibility as well

I think those two are going to the G-League but no through Ignite, Beauchamp is good he prob can get a 2-way, Walker no chance, prob just goes to the G-League straight up

I know I keep throwing out bad comps for Kuminga, but what about Danny Granger? And why am I so confused?

OKAY, I AM GOING TO ACCEPT IT, I JUST WANT TO DEFINITIVELY CALL HIM A POWER FORWARD AND THAT IS BEING CAST INTO DOUBT. (as in, where his athleticism and ball skills give him the biggest relative advantage).

Personally he looks like he's still figuring out what he can and can't do. I think the things he is good at he isn't embracing to the level he could, rather he's looking to show that he can do more. Verdict is still very much out on what his prototype is IMO.

Jonathan kuminga is in rj hunter category, good 2 way wing, ceiling is a solid 3 for a playoff team, might fall outside top 5 when all said and done

Very nice Kuminga game today. Guarded 1-5 with 2 steals, 2 blocks, and a few deflections. Offensively he went 2-3 on threes and 3-4 on free throws and had some good possessionsas a screener that look to be about the easiest way Ignite has to create good halfcourt offense going forward.

I am guessing he means De'Andre Hunter.

was thinking rj barrett but neither fell out of the top5 unless I don't understand what he's saying

in any case no way Kuminga falls out of the top5

Sorry about the deandre hunter mistake.. if kuminga is a lock at top 5.. 2021 batch is an overrated one..we're just getting players whore long term starter levels for nba teams for next decade and less likely to be bust players (thomas robinson and anthony benett levels)

I was saying deandre hunter level, he was a top 5 in his class but if were saying that this batch is special theres a chance that he might slip down there

well, for one, DeAndre Hunter is a stud, so i'm not sure why that means anything, a two-way wing shooting 51/37/87, Hunter would go top5 again in a redraft, also Kuminga is like 2.5 years younger than Hunter coming out as well, at the same stage Kuminga is ahead of Hunter in almost all facets

if you have Kuminga dropping out of the top5, who do u have replacing him?
