Best player or best career? What criterion most describes best?

Ayton will make the most money, barring injury.
Bamba will be a better player than Ayton within 3 years.

Jaren Jackson Jr will be the best player; but, Doncic will also be an HOF player.

This drafted is FULLY LOADED. Lot like the mid-80s drafts and the 96 draft. Lots of great players will have great careers but JAREN JACKSON JR. WILL BE A BETTER CHRIS BOSH/KG/CLUTCH player before 5 years. He's the youngest and next to Bamba, IMO, has the most upside.
Bye bye Beal.

There is absolutely no chance anyone in this draft becomes better than Garnett.

How could you possibly know that? There are surprises in every draft. You simply never know. Nobody thought Curry would become the player he did. I think Doncic will be the best.
SELL THE TEAM, JIM!!! :curse:

It's a safe bet. Garnett is a top 10-15 player of all time and a top 5 defensive player ever also. We've had many prospects who were hyped up to be the next big thing but almost all of them didn't pan out. Plus defense is becoming less of a priority for kids growing up which doesn't help. Even Bosh is unlikely. Now Garnett? Hell no.

I meant better than Bosh, and a KG/type player. If you read again you might NOT see that as saying better than KG.

I meant BEST FROM THIS DRAFT... time will tell.
Bye bye Beal.

I think that's a ridiculous thing to say. Why do you even feel like that? Because the league has changed stylistically? This sounds like "old man yelling at cloud" to me.

PRECISELY

Just like penis length is THE size in size matters. If you're not an anaconda (I'm a brother and I am NOT) -- 2 ex wives....

My SARCASM is that to some people the number is all that matters.

YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, trezer12, that my post count don't mean jack. Could be I've been talkin' out my arse for a long, long, long time on this forum.

Could be I got da dementia...

Mebbe i gon' mental.

Or, some new poster is FAR MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE...

I DID QUALIFY MY STATEMENT WITH "probably"...because I sensed a little smugness in the
you should be an NBA GM apparently you have it all figured out


So, since they gave a "SHOULD" statement... I CHOSE to get snarky.

Sometimes, you answer a junk statement with ... JUNK

Bye bye Beal.
