Rutgers C is 6'10 275lbs. I guess has the quickness advantage and not tall enough to bother Queen.

He has a baby face. I don’t think he’s lying.

He's from a town of 32,000 so they probably have decent administration and record keeping. Not like some village of 300 or something.

Maybe you're right, I just remember this being a problem for some prospects in the past.

I would love him with the Portland pick, but just can't see him dropping that far. I've seen him make some fantastic passes. Kind of reminds me of Poeltl, if Poeltl could shoot threes. But I'm sure Poeltl is a better defender.

That said, it feels like we need a lob threat, as Poeltl's backup. Wolf is more like a poor, poor man's Jokic. But for a second round pick? He would be a steal.

What's wrong with a younger healthy mark Williams. He went 15th in his draft, in a redraft he's in the 8-13 range. Outside of the big 4 I'm more than okay taking Maluach. We need a 7'2 lob threat big.


On a strong draft with Sorber having similar impact, I think he is a bit high.


He's 6'10, they're just noteven the same archetype


You dont use your head to defend. Rumour has their wingspan the same. Even not the same, similar measurement may not make them that far apart.

Outside of the obvious top guys. I really want us to get Flemming somehow. The guy reminds me of early career Ibaka and would fit so well as stretch 4/5 with rim protection.

So, Condon makes the same passes but doesn't turn the ball over. What's the use if you're a negative player? Pretty much GLeague or bench big on a non-contender.

Whatching Mogbo miss 3's and buckets close that Fleming would finish by dunking makes me want him more. Watching Orlando Robinson being so indecisive and slow around bucket makes me not want him back next year. Please draft 2 or 3 bigs.

If don't get #1 Flagg, I'm fine trading down.

Yeah i fear we were a year too soon....This class is good but these 2 look like legit franchise players.

Would have loved to be bad next year for this draft class. It's even better than 2025.


Yeah in my head i was thinking 2 top 5 picks back to back and maybe lucking out in one of these next 2 drafts where we land top 1-3 and able to get a generational player should have been the path for us to success but it would be really really hard for us to be bad enough next year to be in the higher parts of the lottery....Right now its Flagg or bust for me....I like the other prospects but i feel Flagg is so far ahead of the other guys....And we need a Flagg type player for us to be a legit playoff threat rather than a pretender...

Yeah, I like him a lot. His athleticism just pops off in-game, and the way he rises on his 3's just screams a great to elite shooter. A very fluid 3&D player where we would try to develop his in-between game.

His crazy ceiling might be Ben Wallace that can shoot 3's. :D

Haha, hyperbole aside, he has impressive stocks when compared to a great defender like Flagg with both being at least 6'9".

Flagg without the guard handles is a nice realistic ceiling.

We're probably looking for defense first in the draft now that we've committed a lot to offense for the next 4 years.

I see Edgecombe, Maluach, and Fleming at the top of Masai's list. Shead and Edgecombe would be a great back court defense combo. Mogbo and Fleming are switchable but we'd have rim protection issues, statistically it's worth seeing Maluach isn't great there either.

If we can buy a 2nd for cash I would take a gamble on Zvonmir Ivisic. The stats don't match his play but I'm intrigued.

My dream draft if we sit at 5th and 36th.

5th = Edgecombe
36th + Agbaji = Fleming + 40-55th
40-55th = Z. Ivisic

Poeltl / Fleming / Ivisic
Barnes / Mogbo / Chomche
Ingram / Walter / Battle
Barrett / Dick / Edgecombe
Quickely / Shead

Draft Flagg + any one of the Ivisic twins:

Quickley/Barrett/Shead
Ingram/Dick/(Walter)
Flagg/Ochai/(Walter)
Barnes/Mogbo
Poeltl/Ivisic



Draft Bailey + any one of the Ivisic twins:

Quickley/Barrett/Shead
Bailey/Dick/(Walter)
Ingram/Ochai/(Walter)
Barnes/Mogbo
Poeltl/Ivisic


Draft Harper + any one of the Ivisic twins:

Quickley/Harper/Shead
Barrett/Dick/(Walter)
Ingram/Ochai/(Walter)
Barnes/Mogbo
Poeltl/Ivisic


Draft Edgecombe + any one of the Ivisic twins:

Quickley/Walter/Shead
Barrett/Dick/(Edgecombe)
Ingram/Ochai/(Edgecombe)
Barnes/Mogbo
Poeltl/Ivisic


MAN......... I'm so excited for next season! We're gonna be loaded with talent.

the only thing fleming does well is exist with a ++ WS, it's not enough. saint jo's schedule quite poor, still has negative ast:to, isn't a crazy event creator for a guy with his dimensions.
