I see a bunch of quality players so far. Maybe even multiple all-stars.

I completely agree.

This is a stacked class of solid starters.

Agreed I didn't see this coming. Most of the top picks have looked pretty good so far. Even the mid round guys have looked impressive. This class won't be as bad as many thought it would.

I think the whole thing got downgraded because there wasn't a true superstar type coming out. This probably won't be the draft that changes any franchises, but the smart teams went and got guys they could use going forward.

Green/Whitmore/Amen/Eason/Griffin + Reed/Jabari at 1/4.

Someone need to come in to trade for one.

You may have Dillon Brooks.

Should Reed have gone higher in the draft?

Sheppard looks legit. I think he could be the best player in this class and I see all-star potential with him. Crazy because he was one of the guys I wanted nothing to do with coming into the draft. I fell for the appearance trap. Kid can ball and this white man can jump!

He should have gone #1 overall for sure

Yep should have been the #1 pick based off what I have seen so far. He's the one that clearly looks like he has all-star talent. Keep him at pg.

I was down on him because people were viewing him as a sg. That size at that position scared me. He's going to be a stud at PG.

Yeah he's got extra spring in those legs. This'll be a really obscure reference but if you know you know. His bounce reminds me of David Lee, former Florida Gator and underground dunking legend. David was like 6'10" but you got the same feel when he jumped. Just pogo sticks where his calves should be. That's Reed.

Sarrs motor looks terrible. He looks like he's disinterested and going at 80% speed

Cam Whitmore falling to 20 needs to be discussed more.

Yeah I would be worried if I were a wizards fan with sarr. Dude has DeAndre Ayton levels of not caring.

Nah that's just that Wizards culture baby!

Led by Poole and Kuzma. Starr in cruise control. 8-)

Houston saved us from Reed going to San Antonio. Reed and Wemby would have been unfair.

Hasn’t it been discussed quite a bit? He had red flags for his back from like half the teams right?

These mock draft gurus don't know ****. They only use statistics. I personally think they don't actually watch NBA basketball. They just watch prospects and then highlights of NBA basketball. That's why I just share who I think has pro potential. I could care less where a guy is drafted. Only if he can play. I crapped on Filipowski for two years and then he fell to the 2nd round. These guys mocked him in the lotto for two straight seasons.
