What an idiotic take about Holmgren :lol: I honestly didn’t know you were gonna go there. So there was one player drafted lower than him that’s currently better than him, and that made him overrated? He’s still going top 3 even if draft was redone today.

Moronic take congrats dude! Very “profound” of you… not. :lol:



Penny was the obvious pick at the time for anyone who actually understood basketball.

Mashburn, Rider, Baker, Houston, honestly according to the media at the time some teams considered him over Webber. Luckily for OKC the 2022 draft was full of busts and they landed Williams later in the draft because Chet is completely overrated and you know why.


I’m talking about Chet, not anyone else. Your statement is idiotic. Chet still goes no later than 3rd in a redraft where he was taken second. Good job showing them true colors though and “you know why” :lol: :lol: :crazy:

lol this board is hilarious. Bad game “Doesn’t pass the eye test” drops 40 “best player in the 22 draft”. Can’t wait until game 7.

You're really penalizing Paolo for not having SGA get him to the finals?

JDub should be super maxed this summer. He made an all-nba team?

In the playoffs? Look it up. Paolo clears Judb. It’s like comparing LeBron James to Kyle Kuzma.

Who is Paulo? We don’t have a Paulo on the Magic.

Yeah, you’re right. Spelling doesn’t matter. I’m glad Jaylin Williams is doing well for you guys.

This thread was started in April, long before Jdub dropped 40. Even after he dropped 40 a few days ago, it didn't statistically change the number of posters saying who's the best player in the draft (i.e., Paolo still ahead). So the claim this board being reactionary as if it's a whole, isn't supported.

Also, saying "this board is hilarious" as if it's a single entity, is in itself hilarious. This board actually consist of hundreds of people each with their own opinions, and just like any other poll of many, you'll find a myriad of opinions, some extreme, others with recency bias, etc.

So there's no LOL here, this board is normally reflecting the opinions of the many. Though I do agree with: "Can't wait until game 7." :)

We're in the finals because we're rock solid from top to bottom, have a great coach and yes because of SGA, obviously. What I guess I was getting at is our 2nd option is better than your franchise center piece.

Paolo hasn't made an all star or all nba or won a playoff series and you are comparing him to LeBron James? :lol: . I could see if Paolo had a Trae Young year 3 kind of playoff run, but he hasn't done anything yet, as of right now J dub has accomplished more in the NBA than Paolo. Lebron to Kuzma is a blatant troll attempt.

Paolo has made an All-Star game.

Having said that, he's basically just a rich man's Kuzma right now. Inefficient chucker who doesn't play defence. Of course, I expect him to improve, but arguing he's some kind of star already is funny. He's not even the best player on his own team.
