Defensively, he's comparable to White right now.

evan may have trouble with reading comprehension. i literally said he has a chance to be that good someday. i never said they are currently the exact same player.

even saying he is essentially the magic's version of derrick white, i clarified what i meant by that by mentioning some of the ways in which they are similar.


You said literally he’s “essentially the Magic’s version of Derrick White.” Your words. Literally. Maybe you don’t know what “literally” means.


you're not making sense. i said he's ESSENTIALLY (not literally, but essentially. here we go with your reading issues again) the magic's version of derrick white (then spelled out the ways in which they are similar).

then i said he has a chance to be that good someday. and due to your reading comprehension issues i had to point out that i LITERALLY said he has a chance to be that good someday, you know because i did literally say that.

Yes, you said "essentially". That is literally the word you used, not me. What do you think that means if it doesn't literally mean that you're equating Anthony Black and Derrick White? Tell me bro, what did you think you were saying when you used that word?

Any thread can be long though, just need a few people who are homers and a few people who are willing to call them out.

If someone was in the Jarace Walker thread saying he could be as good as Paolo Banchero because Paolo is 22 and Jarace is only 21 then yeah I would assume that thread would start to blow up.

Why would the Cooper Flagg thread be long? He is the consensus top prospect and 98% of people think he is going to be good. Should it be 50 pages long with people oohing and ahhhing over his highlights arguing who likes him the most?

But for what? This is so much energy to spend on an internet argument, especially one where their minds are made up.
