Because he's 22 lol the nba drools over young unproven talent. That's why it's always 18 year old thar are lottery picks. The proven college players go late first

Flagg is pretty fool proof, 100% all-nba prospect. Injury is the only thing that can screw him

Flagg has one real comparison to me. Bigger Jimmy Butler

Jalen Johnson with Gordan Hayward’s offense.

Maluach being the same player he’s been all year. Let’s use a top 7 pick on him!

Being 7’3 and not getting a rebound in an entire final four game is disqualifying. I don’t know what else to tell you.

I will be extremely angry if we draft Maluach.

Mik317 · Post #570 » by **Mik317** » Sun Apr 6, 2025 4:58 am

yeah he just swats at the ball on rebounds and has fumble fingers on catches. People were acting like he had Giannis like movement too

nah

also Flagg just learned what its like for your coach and teammates to sell a game....welcome to Philly my guy

That's sweet Sixers music. Flagg or Kon, welcome to Philadelphia.

KK since 3/7

11.8 BPM 133 ORTG 1.9 A:TO 53.4 FTr 73%(!) at the rim

17.2/4.3/3.6 on 60/45/91

He isn't McNeeley or Kasparas level bad defensively but he would need a Duke like situation to insulate him on that end. Still another player I draft ahead of "Ace" Bailey.

You aren't a scout my guy the kid will get picked high regardless bad games happen

Time to have a conversation about LJ Cryer as a top 5 pick

Not sure what point you’re trying to make. Mine is that, yes, he’ll probably get drafted in the top 7 and I’m hoping we’re not holding the bag since his best trait is being 7’3 despite not playing like he’s that size.

Yeah Maluach didnt help his draft position tonight..

It’s lucky that Maluach had a bad game. If he had kept up his NCAA tournament form (averaged 11-8 with 2 blocks per game and 81FG% prior to the game vs Hou) and impressed in private workouts with NBA teams, specially with his shooting upside. Then there’s a good chance that the 18 year old wouldn’t be available at our pick on draft day.

If so, we'll be a lottery team next year anyway, and can draft one of the plethora of ~6'9" forwards, or Dash Daniels (Dyson's young brother)

This is how I've felt all along. Yeah, getting the pick would be the optimum, but losing it gets OKC out of our pocket and we aren't competing next season regardless, so it would be a year to clean the slate again, but this time hopefully with a sane plan in place.

His age, period. Kid is a stone killer, and is going to be a solid rotation piece somewhere at a minimum.

Negrodamus · Post #580 » by **Negrodamus** » Sun Apr 6, 2025 5:16 pm

More so than one the one bad game, it’s the absence of steals and assists to Maluach’s game that completely turns me off. Shows a total lack of feel necessary to being a star C in the NBA, which is what you’re banking on when drafting in the top 8. I can’t imagine any all star C being that deficit in those two areas coming into the league, however I haven’t checked.

Who do you want us to take at #3?
