Nah its better. Nobody is gonna be dumb enough to treat Poole like hes the better player. You might act that way with CJ. MCcollum. And he probably warrants it but you wanna sortve pave the way for a player like Fears. You want him running the whole show.

Ain't nobody letting Poole get in the way of that.

Demin at 8! Breaks the streak of five straight F's!

My Thunder spidey senses makes me think the Egor pick might be going to OKC lol. I have no basis for this feeling.

this is a reach, no? I did not scout this draft well but I didn't see Egor mocked this high... not that that really matters. I thought he'd be available at one of there many other picks though

I actually kinda love that pick for Brooklyn. They’re a blank slate, plenty of opportunity to experiment with Demin as a big creator

Nets could not trade for Harper and then drafted a very talented Egor.

Dude can hoop. It was telling that Kevin Young put the ball in his hands as a freshman and let him run a top 10 offense in BYU.

People overrated ceilings

Ace might have a higher ceiling but Kon has a much higher floor. What are the chances Ace hits his ceiling? Like 2%?

If both players hit their median outcome, Kon is significantly more valuable

Ace Bailey going to Utah after rejecting a workout is funny... or Jazz are trading him after.
