2021 NBA Draft Thread

Ok Cade definately has the goods. I needed to rate him against college competition. (his game being so smooth and slow motion its hard to evaluate him against high schoolers).

As for Likekele I had never seen him play prior so I ranked him on the only few highlight videos I could find of him. I will pass on him as being my sleeper.

I am still high on James Boukknight tho (who is not a sleeper by any means) but he is the TRUTH. I will probably promote Boukknight Dosunmu and Wiggins the most heading into the draft that I want us to draft at what should be our picks.

Missed the very very start of the game, but yeah Cade is really good. His team on the other hand is not.

Only up 5 on UT Arlington at the half.

Cade has 12 points on 11 shots and 4 boards and no assists.

Pretty disappointing second half from Cade, UTA switched to a zone and he got taken out of the game. Ended up salvaging his stat line with some late game free throws but he scored 4 points in the second half from the 20 minute mark to the 3 minute mark.

Still think he will be really good, but seemed like he struggled a bit throughout the game at times. Had his most success in transition.

I agree thats why prior to his game I said I still had to see if he was good. For some reason even tho he has loads of talent/potential something is missing and I don't know what it is. Maybe it's a lack of intensity... I like Bouknkight a little better atually. Maybe even Dosumnu but its a long season so gotta wait and se

Cade is a very good prospect...doesn't have many weaknesses (handle isn't great) and his size, feel, and skills are pretty much textbook for a early lottery guy.

Let's NOT compare him to Zion ever again though...he's not even close to that level and really nobody from this class is.

This dude has intruigue. Maybe cuz he looks like a football player playing 2 guard.

Interesting. I remember watching this guy and following him for a short time. I was always curious to know how he would do one on one against the PROFESSOR after watching him play street ball. Then I look at this years draft class and seen his name. Happy for the guy because I didn't know he was NBA good.

Did not watch this game live, but he looks like he has good touch on his shooting. Think his stat line looks better than it is potentially though because the game went to overtime and he got three easy buckets in this game where Cal Baptist were just too small to grab easy rebounds and the ball just landed in his lap. Seems to be a decent decision maker with the ball though, which is a nice added bonus.

Overall though, I thought athletically he looks a little stiff side to side. Need to work on loosing his hips.

Better than Wiseman already lol. He has a soft touch and plays like a Vet. I wouldn't mind him if he were available. I don't know if he's a franhise Center but probably a really good one.

Dosumnu had a HUGE game last night in his opener.

As of now I have Dosunmu, Bouknight and Azuolas Tubelis for pick 1. One of them could be available top 15. I feel Bouknight and Dosunmu have potential to solidify our 2 guard spot. No real need for Hayward or Monk

I LOVED Zion but I think Cade will end up being a better prospect. It's still early and mostly based on him dominating EYBL but we will see! He looked merely okay yesterday and still put up 21/10/4 with 5 TOs (tho 2 of those were really bad calls).

I'm glad there a lot of guys to watch right now.

I agree I am not high on zion at all. I actually think McDaniels is better. I think zion is a great stat stuffer and crowd exciter but not a smart b-ball player. I think McDaniels has a HUGE b-ball IQ. I think both Cade and Zion are overrated but Cade imo is the better of the two

There are 3 players coming into this season that I was iffy with and so far so good. Those 3 players are

Remi Martin
Ochai Agbaji
Charles Bassey

So far all have performed extremely well. Iffy meaning I wasn't sold on them but knew the potential was there

UNCNYC · Post #75 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Nov 26, 2020 9:32 pm

Jeramiah Robinson Earl is the last player I wasn't sold on yet

My boy Anton Watson was rusty off an injury, only tried one field goal (apparently a last-second half-court heave doesn't count as an attempt) but he'll have more chances with Gonzaga looking good this year.

I think Cade is a Dad. If so I wonder if that will influence him going pro. (I doubt he would stay after a year anyway)

Its been one game though. Lets wait longer than one college game lol

Ben Simmons was trash the first half a year in college but was a much better prospect than Zion

I know were not looking for a PG next year but Jalen Suggs is making a name early.

Fansided's hyping up one of Cade's ex-teammates, weak competition but Day'Ron Sharpe did well starting the season for UNC.
