It's been a tightly whistled game, blowing by guys with that first step and getting a whistle at the rim over and over tonight

Looks like Jalen is probably done with 26 through 3 quarters. Nuggets are uh... A little bit better than the rockets without EG and Wood lol

He has easily the most pure scoring talent out of the rookie class. Obviously he has a lot of weaknesses right now but idk why people point out the record with him. Not his fault alone and the Rockets are fine with losing as long as he shows the potential.

Such a great looking draft, I just hope next year's top of the draft plays well too.

Green looks awesome now. His elite scoring potential is proving to be true. Just have to keep working and he will be a star.

I doubt it, last year's two pre draft consensus tiers (Cade, Mobley, Green, Suggs) are generally seen as all better prospects pre draft than anyone in this upcoming draft, and this draft is quite a bit more shallow it seems

The top looks really good but the rest is weak. Ivey and Jabari Smith, could be stars.

If Chet can remain healthy (just have some doubts with his frame), he certainly could be too. If I were a Magic fan, I'd love to re-unite him and Suggs to continue to grow both on & off court chemistry, plus I think Franz is a very smart player that would play extremely well off of him and Isaac if he can ever remain healthy. Not sure who most of your fanbase has their eyes on but I think Chet would actually turn out to be a good fit and with everyone back next year I think you guys would make a substantial improvement from this one.

I think everyone is leaning towards Ivey 1a, Jabari 1b, and then Chet.

Ivey looks like Wade.

Yea hes looking like hes going to be an elite defender in the very near future. Now its going to depend on how much he can develop offensively. He has the tools, but hes on a team where "anyone except steph or klay shooting is a bad shot".
