But is really a top 5 or 10 prospect in this draft?


Yes. The fit isn’t the cleanest, but absolutely a top 10 prospect

Him absolutely bricking open jumpers shows me no hope in his jumper. At least Scottie can bang em in an open gym, and he shoots sub 30% lmfao

CMB with a jumper would be a great player though. He just needs a corner 3 to be useful. I have doubts he'll shoot well from extended range though.

He’s playing behind two others who are basically the same player as him (Scottie and Mogbo).

Someone is gonna get traded…

He immediately jumps Mogbo in the depth chart, unless Mobgo has made some crazy progress in the off season.


Play them at the same time off the bench

Scottie/Mogbo/CMB at the same time is some pretty whacky defense. Who needs shooting.

I still remember that shooting still. lol, I think he will be fine.


She shot mechanic looks fine. Its the same every time he shoots. Most of the misses are front rims or rattles out. Mostly like he is not use to the deep range. I think he will improve overtime with reps and be a decent low volume 3pter .

It absolutly makes seen. We needed another defender to replace RJ. He can play right away after an adjustment period.


This dude is a 6'6 power forward and doesn't replace RJ at all.

I watched just about every game from Maluach this season and he was definitely gonna take years to develop. He was 2 years away from being a reliable big man.

With that being said, CMB is a lot more NBA-ready.

And if there's one thing I've learned, it's to not doubt Masai.
In Masai We Trust :meditate:

No it doesn’t make sense. All of our big man depth cannot shoot a three.
