2019 NBA Draft Prep

Payton Pritchard and Louis King playing well today. They were a legit final four team with Bol. Massingburg is a good sleeper prospect. Not a bad year to have multiple 2nd rounders.

First live game I've watched of Texas Tech without being totally zoned out and Culver checked out how I thought he would.

Really it all comes down to if you feel about his jumper this:

way (small tweaks would make it more efficient and it's not broken) or if you think it's worse off than that, and what his height truly is.

I suppose the best case scenario would be to pair either Culver or Hunter with the risk/reward in Reddish. Or to draw #2 in the ping pong balls and get a big package out of Morant, a good young prospect and a good pick.

Where's the video of him? What's he good at?
Is he cross eyed?

Zion looks like a man playing with kids. :lol:

I don’t when the term “beast” was introduced but I think the term came before it’s time. This kid is a freak of nature. Lebron..Giannis..but wow.

I'm just hoping the guy makes the NBA so I can finally become famous with the GIF/Meme I created with someone hilariously slipping and falling on a taco.

(will post when he makes the NBA)

Seems like he had a pretty good game (13 Points and 18 Rebounds against VCU) so could he be making a late impression to climb the Draft Boards (If, He is even on any Draft Boards)? Would you take a chance on him and hope the Hawks could further strengthen and develop him? Not too many 7’6” Basketball Players come around very often? Call me crazy but if he was still available in the 2nd round I think I would take that gamble!

Trae Young/Ja Morant - Just curious if anyone can give me some thoughts/opinions on how these two players compare and differ from each other and how you would rate these two players. Personally, I really like and am happy with Young and I will confess that I know very little about Morant other than what I read on these Boards!

If Ja is still on the board, take him. Then offer Philly Ja, the Dallas pick, the Cleveland pick, all our 2nds, our 2020 1st, Bazemore, Prince, Len, and an island in the Caribbean for Embiid.

Porter re-tore his ACL. Brutal.

Post #1856 » by **Jamaaliver** » Sun Mar 24, 2019 12:57 am

He is officially off my board:

Mizzou's Porter re-tears ACL after missing '18-19

Missouri sophomore big man Jontay Porter recently re-tore the ACL that caused him to miss the entire season, a school spokesman confirmed to ESPN on Saturday.

The 6-foot-11 Porter was in Denver when he suffered the injury. He missed the 2018-19 season after initially tearing his right ACL and MCL in October during a closed preseason scrimmage against Southern Illinois.

He is ranked as the No. 3 center and No. 24 player overall in ESPN's rankings for this year's NBA draft.

Knee problems have been an issue for the Porter siblings in recent years. Bri Porter, Jontay and Michael's sister, retired from basketball before last season at Missouri after suffering her fifth ACL tear.

Another sister, Cierra Porter, medically retired from the Missouri women's team in June because of ongoing knee problems, but she returned in December and went on to be named SEC Sixth Woman of the Year.

Wow, tough luck Family.

Good day for me, Trae is balling, Dallas looking like they will win. Clarke showed what I been saying and seeing and Kabengele is a beast.
