Just draft guys that play like Herro, Booker and Tatum. That's why Cunningham and Green were smart picks over Mobley and why Branham was the obvious guy that should have been #1 in this draft. Enough will falling in love with bigs, draft guys that actually matter, I say.


I totally agree. But Im just not that of a buyer on Branham. I might take my chances on Shaedon Sharpe or Ivey and at worst Paolo, with this mindset that I used to have on recent drafts.

Seems like all the ultra skilled guys are the ones getting their teams to the Finals. Not sure if Ivey or Banchero will ever measure up from a skill perspective. Sharpe is an unknown. Could hit big on him or he could just be a J.R. Smith type airhead.

I dont know if he’ll be a good player. But its entertaining to watch him play like a video game player

This is why Embiid should F the haters and really work on his range and start shooting 8 per game. He can be an all time great big shooter for this modern game. Less post ups, more 3s.

I dont think if will be healthy for him to take that much 3s.

How much 3s and how much ISOs he will take depends on roster construction, match-ups and how good he is on these aspects.

Better to be balanced and go with the path less pressured

Scoot Henderson over Wembayama by a big margin, until proven otherwise for me.

Based off highschool video, Brandon Miller is the guy I'd take #1, as of now. Looks to have the skill level of Tatum COMBINED with the above the rim leaping ability of Jaylen Brown. A deadly combination. I really hope he emerges strong out of the gate for Alabama and cements himself at the top.

Im leaning towards the Fultz prototype than the Tatum prototype in being top 1 picks.

I feel GMs like these big guard scorers who you can just give the ball and let them run pick and roll all game like Cade or Doncic than heavy 1v1 players.

Just speaking on purely prototype comparison.

This draft class is so loaded at the top. Maybe the best draft class since LeBron’s. Its so easy and boring

Scoot vs Victor was a ton of fun. I’d draft Scoot #1 no questions asked after watching that game. I’m just not a believer that Victor can stay healthy throughout his career.

Scoot is something else, the kid already has a full bag and he has zero fear, even going right at Victor a few times. Wembanyama will be the first pick because he's a once in a generation freak, but I agree with Jailblazers that Scoot is the safer pick due to health concerns.

I still think one of the college freshman are going to emerge as better than those two.
