What’s so hard to understand? Murray isn’t “a more sophisticated scorer” as you put it with your “come on” to boot, and as the other guy wrote “he’s not a go-to scorer the way Keegan could be”… I told you he was and it was obvious from watching him in college that he had the ability just not the opportunity.


are you having trouble comprehending basic English sentences? read my entire quote. "Mikal is not a more sophisticated scorer than Murray COMING OUT". and this is coming from someone who was big on Mikal and small on Murray.

this is an indisputable fact, but again if you're trying to finesse a small win on a monday to start your week go off my man.


:lol: No, but it seems you are. I said Mikal showed he had the ability coming out too lol… just not the opportunity… that’s why you said what you did about “raw stats” and “it’s how they get their buckets” because prior to your comment I said what Mikal averaged at Nova, he could at Iowa because of opportunity. I remember quite vividly discussing Mikal’s ability and flashes he showed while in college.. he didn’t get to show them as often, but they were always there.

Jabari and Tatum tho…

haven't seen many other folks mention Hood-Schifino, even though a lot of mocks have him going early to mid teens now from early second a few months back.

Is anyone else sky high on him besides me?

Probably any of these guys.
1. Cason Wallace
2. Kobe Bufkin
3. Keyonte George
4. Bilal Coulibaly

But we'll see how the draft plays out. Players are bound to fall/rise compared to mocks. Cason Wallace is probably the only 1/4 that I feel confident about, and would draft without hesitation.

That's the only person on your list I doubt falls to 13 but I get it if he is there.

Yea, I'm not expecting him to be there either lol. But I've been high on Cason for a while. I was also very high on Taylor Hendricks early on, but he's firmly out of our range.

Keyonte George isn't a lead guard, but he can put pressure on a defense, get hot, and win you games. He's also a solid defender, if he's still on the board at 13 the Raptors should run to the podium and draft him.

I like Keyontae too. I think he is underrated, but yeah that is good option. JHS could become a lead guard though of his assist was to Trayce who would finish it regardless of where he got it.

i think KG has some lead guard juice that people aren't quite getting imo, which is why i have him 4th, otherwise he wouldn't be nearly this high if I didn't think he could eventually turn into a lead guard and playmaker.

I get that it’s his initials, but we’re not actually going to start calling this guy KG right?

I'm not a big college guy so can someone explain what separates Keyonte George from someone like James Bouknight?

I mean not necessarily that much, I have them roughly the same spot in the Draft although I'm a bit higher on Keyonte. He's bigger, but not as explosive as Bouknight. I believe in his shot making more than I did Bouknight. I think Keyonte might also be a better defender and he's coming out as a Freshman whereas Bouknight came out after Sophomore year. I think Keyonte's skill with the ball is just more advanced than Bouknight.

You have to try hard to do this misspelling. :lol: Let's please not confuse him with Keyontae Johnson.

I like Keyonte's offensive capabilities, but as someone who watched Baylor a lot this year, he was not good on the defensive side of the ball. Like to me, he was the worst of the three guards at defending (Cryer and Flagler). Hopefully, getting in better shape and becoming a pro will iron out those wrinkles, but he has a lot of work to do on that side of the ball.
