Bennett Stirtz


In fact I have pick one down to two players only. Tomislav Ivisic, and Bennett Stirtz

I've already made this claim!


Bennett Stirtz or Thomas Haugh are the guys I expect to be hornets next year. Maybe Hannes Steinbach

I said this before he played a summer league game but Kon was my pick in the weirdest way lol.

My draft was different this year in that I had a lot of picks. (but I did end up on ONE) which I always do

Walter Clayton - Started out with him but he became popular so I moved on
Kon - I picked him cause I picked him out of who I thought WE would/should pick (which I stated before he played a single summer league game) meaning over the other selections outside of Harper & Flagg. I was actually happy on draft night
Maxime Raynaud - he woulda been my pick on a trade back with multiple first rounders included
Yang - he was considered but I do not remember to what degree
Feilds - I picked him but changed before he played a single summer league game
Hugo Gonzales - He ended up being my top pick

My pick for next year is in already - Tomislav Ivisic

Every player in the draft was somehow your number 1 pick in the weirdest way lol.. and that is what makes you so good at the game.

lmao I concur lol., Well it's called EVALUATING. Something you/everyone does for the most part do every year, but except with only LOTTERY PICKS.

With me I could land on a pick sooner but often I have a good EYE for talent so my pick becomes a HOUSE HOLD NAME. Then I change lol. As you know I can't stand picking players the rest of the world picks lmao.'

You are a great drafted as well btw JMAC3

I forgot to add VJ and Carter Bryant who were also considered.

Last thing but if ya'll notice I stayed with BUB CARRINGTON the whole year. The reason why is because he didn't become popular, so I was able to just focus on him.

I be trying to pick players in the very beginning stage, meaning most of the time I don't even peak to see NEXT years draft. I do SOMETIMES but often I try to start with the 2nd rounders...

Walter Clayton - I liked him in Iona lmao
Ajay Mitchell - I ranked him the top pg in the whole draft
Craig Porter JR - I was a huge fan waaay before the cavs got him
Dalton Knect - I liked him in Northern Colorado
KJ Simpson - I liked him when he was mid ranked high schooler been posting his name for YEARS same as the others
Shaedon Sharpe - I liked him when I didn't see his name on ANY MOCKS meaning that current year or the one AFTER it
PJ Hall - I watched him play MANY times at Clemson and mentioned him here quite a few times
Brandon Miller - I liked him when he was projected around pick 18-20 range
Gradey Dick - I liked him when he wasn't on any mocks to my memory

These are just a few
