Can't believe we're at the draft analysis part of the NBA year. By far the most boring

Over history, draft day is the most important day for most franchises. When your team doesn't make the playoffs, the 5 month offseason drags on. Maybe the front office should notice and make the necessary changes.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Too bad amen’s shot is so fried. If it was average, he’d be going #2 imo. He absolutely is a masai guy and from all reports, him and his bro are high character gym rats.

I would not be shocked if masai is aggressive trying to get 3 or 4 to draft him. Seems like ausur is going to orlando at 6.

Why not go with Ausar ? I think he’s the better player.

Plus he had to play off ball which doesn’t lend him any advantages yet he still managed to outplay Amen.

My Comparisons:
Inverted - What you think of the offense level and Defensive level, they are swapped


1) Victor Wembanyama - None
2) Brandon Miller - Inverted OG
3) Scoot Henderson - Steve Francis(Bigger)/ Russell Westbrook(more controlled) / Derick Rose
4) Amen Thompson - Tmac Lite
5) Cam Whitmore - "smaller" Grant Hill
6) Ausar Thompson - "Explosive" Manu
7) Anthony Black - can't compare / what do you think?
8) Jarace Walker - more athletic, Jason Maxiell, with 3 point shot
9) Taylor Hendricks - "Springy" Millsap
10) Gradey Dick - can't compare / what do you think?
11) Bilal Coulibaly -smaller, younger Giannis, meets a bigger Mikal Bridges
12) Kobe Bufkin - defensive minded Anfernee Simons
13) Cason Wallace - bigger, step slower Kyle Lowry
14) Keyonte George - Lou Williams
15) Jordan Hawkins - Inverted Buddy Hield
16) Jalen Hood-Schifino - shoot first/ pass second Lonzo Ball
17) Nick Smith Jr. - Poor man's Jordan Poole?
18) Leonard Miller -Non-playmaking Lamar Odom

I've got Miller, Wallace, and Podz as my #2, #3, #4 guys in this draft all bunched together. There's a gap to #5 so I would snap take Wallace @ #7

I keep coming to Danny Granger with Brandon Miller. I think he handles the ball A LOT better than Rashard Lewis did.

JHS isn't a guy I think we'd draft but his physical profile matches. But he has some areas where I don't think he becomes more than a back up big PG.

I knew it. Absolute delusion on Vivek's part.

Lmao.

OG is not going to sacramento.


If you get the best picks on offer from Sac he most certainly could be traded there. There is no never in the NBA. All remains to be seen. OG, Paskal and even Fred landing spots is all media pre draft hype and speculation. OG and Barnes by any sane rights should be the two untouchables but as part of continuing development, as in reaping the benefits of it with player retention, paying FVV could see him retained at 30/ and OG slips through those retention cracks and is sent somewhere else because Raps need a youth curve to match Scottie's and he is more "expedient" to ship out than anyone else who directly contributed to the forgotten but not foresaken championship.

everything I hear makes me think OG is more likely to be moved than Pascal :(
