Already not interested in him, he's gonna get the same treatment in the NBA we need star power that the league would like to promote.

Edgecomb is a slighter version of Marcus Smart imo but with less POA defence.


Oladipo was a 6'3 combo guard. :-?

Edgecomb is one of those guys who could look alot better in NBA spacing.

Probably taller then Smart who was 6'2 barefoot. Tony Allen might be the better comp for his floor. Very similar college production and measurements (Allen had extra years in college so VJ definitely higher upside.)

The selling point for VJ is definitely his athleticism and defensive potential.

He's somewhere between a Tony Allen floor and a Victor Oladipo Ceiling... (Victor also has similar size and college production, except far better shooting)


Yeah, you’re basically banking on him reaching the 1% outcome of him reaching his offensive ceiling if you pick him at 4.

It might not be the franchise changing pick but I wouldn’t mind having a Suggs like player on the team. Lord knows our defence needs it.

He was always shorter than ideal height for a SG. At best he's 6'4 in shoes like Wade.

I’d be pretty stoked with Harper, and a little bit stoked for ace too. Have VJ fourth, even if I don’t love his positional fit with current raps squad and shooting that might take a minute to develop, but I’m firm believer in best player available.


I have Edgecombe 3rd as of right now and he could move up to two for me if he can be a 1 in the NBA.

His ceiling is Ja Morant as an elite POA defender. You don't let a guy like that fall out of the top 3.

I was literally about the post something about Scoot.

His last 4 games,

he might be starting to turn it around. Dylan is better than Scoot though imo.

Super underrated. If they’d actually play him he’d be a first round pick, easily.

For sure. He's a tucked away gem on that stacked Duke roster.

This reminds me of Scottie being 6’10. Oladipo is 6’3. Never got measured at 6’5 in his life. lol.

But why? Scoot played 2 years in the GLeague against men. Both have questions about 3pt shooting, but Scoot was shooting NBA range 3's with the Ignite. 1 in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. If I was Portland, I'd rather have Scoot than Harper (like assuming age and contract was the same). Will Harper be able to get more fit or the same for his career like Deron Williams and Harden, body-wise?

Do you think he's like a Jared McCain type of prospect?

Who the hell at 6'5 is lying about their height and saying that they're 6'3? :lol:

It made sense for KD to lie and say he was 6'9 so that teams wouldn't get the wrong idea and try to turn him into a power forward or center. What the hell would Oladipo gain from saying he was 6'3, while actually being 6'5?
