The No Ceilings guys did another mock draft video that had Edgecombe falling to 6 to Washington. So much smoke here.

I am not paying much attention to mocks now. I am looking more at rumors and info from workouts, which we haven't had much of for some reason.

Yeah. No one knows anything. I don’t remember, did anything at all leak out last summer about Carrington and George? Sarr was obviously the pick at 2, but I don’t remember hearing anything else

Obviously there was no leak about Carrington because we didn't get that pick until we traded your hero in draft day

Didn’t we work out Bub a day or two before the draft?

I thought he was smaller. 18 and still growing

Yes…the Zards reportedly brought Bub in for what I believe was a second workout just before the draft.

Didn’t that information leak out before the draft?

If we weren't total sickos, this board would empty and no-one would post a single word for the next 365 days after such a haul.

Extremely raw, but in addition to the "measurables" , he has naturally good hands and timing, as well as remarkable fluidity and coordination for his size.

Has top 2 level talent/upside. Is 6 too high for a "project". Will he still be available at 18?? Definitely a Will Dawkins type. A bottom dwelling rebuilding team looking for a lottery ticket in this draft and picking outside of the top 5, this could be the player to take a swing on.

Not sure about that.

I’d love him at 18. I’m hoping his rawness and lack of 3 ball will cause him to drop to us

What are they putting in the water in France? Are all of these agile big guys coming out because they grow up playing soccer?

What an amazing athlete! Dude just elevates and hangs in the air! I have no idea if he has any skills because all that clip shows is him dunking. The .566 FT% is rather alarming.

If he's there at 18, I'm taking him. We have to take huge swings in the draft and he represents a huge swing.

Beringer is an interesting prospect who In addition to
attractive measurables is very young. Thing is though,
Maluach is barely older and has a more attractive
list of strengths on Tankathon. Beringer could be there
at 18, Maluach probably wouldn't be. There are obvious
reasons for this.

Played in the ABA, same league as Topic/Jokic/Jovic/Djurisic. Been playing basketball for only 3 years now. Measured in at 6’10 in shoes a year ago.

18.8 minutes per game, per 36: 10.3 points 9.4 rebounds 0.9 assists 1.0 steals 2.6 blocks 1.3 turnovers 64% TS 125 O-rating 103 D-rating

Played in the French junior league (same as Bilal) in 23/24 and posted per 36: 15 points 14 rebounds 2.8 blocks 1.3 steals on 64% TS

FT% is brutal at both levels though

Beringer can also switch out and guard on the perimeter and has now grown into legit C size.

So basically he’s Jan Vesely

If we really believe that Sarr is going to be mid usage guy, then someone like Beringer is PERFECT. Bigger Gafford.
I would love a big swing draft and trade down and end up with a 1-5 of Traore - Coward - Bryant - Essengue - Beringer.

The guys at 6 just arent selling me as steals. Love Tre & Kon's skill, but I worry about their ceiling due to defense and creation ability. I love Fears & VJ's tools and mindset but worry about their ceiling due to vision and shooting. I would take any and all at 10, but Im not sure I see the giant gap between them and the guys above.
