Oh my gosh Flagg wants to poster everybody.

Entertaining, but risky.

Oof.

You joking my guy? He's 0-7 and had a couple of good defensive possessions.

Lol.

These rookies can’t even play an NBA game before we anoint them bust or star.

That Flagg guy might end up being okay

Ryan Nembhard is my kind of player. Hope he sticks in the league.

Doubt he is anywhere close to winning ROTY, don’t think he produces the stats to win the award. Plus he has to compete with vasell, Barnes, Soahan and kjohnson for minutes.

Had a bad game. 1-10 5 turnovers 6 fouls.

I think he's better than that, though. I like his ability to weave through traffic and find the open man.

His game will flourish in the league w better players around him.

I think depending how the season goes, Fox is a trade piece by the EOY.

Castle should be the trade piece.
He's overrated because he's RoY in the worst draft class of all time

I don’t think people realize castle had a worse season than rookie Jalen Green…

Im glad its not only my Magic board that have ridiculous hot takes. I swear every fanbase are convinced their mid-lotto draft pick is the next Giannis and their SRP is the next Jokic.

Regular Season cannot come soon enough.lol

Every center that makes a pass to a cutter is “the next Jokic” with “elite vision” and their 10pt summer league debut was “insane”. :crazy:

I don’t recall Brad Miller getting that kind of hype.

The NBA is an entertainment industry. That's just the way the game works at the highest level. Flagg still looks good and shows signs of being at least a 3rd option down the line and he could even have superstar potential. We'll see.
Huh??? Cooper is good enough to be a second option RIGHT NOW, let alone a 3rd option DOWN the line?? That's crazy.

I'm not talking about being a 2nd option on the Charlotte hornets aka tanking teams. With a healthy AD and Kyrie he won't be the 2nd option.

Still doesn't matter. Like I said, I see a promising future with his floor being Cavs Kevin Love, meaning, in his case, even if he can't become more efficient on offense, he'll still be a stud.

However, I do realise that nowadays a 2nd option is essentially someone like Nembhard or McConnell. So, yea, he could definitely be that already.

McNeeley was protected as a lottery pick.

Fell to 29th.

Will teams regret this?

Kalkbrenner needs to lean hard into his villain arc. For like his entire career.

At least 10 teams will regret not taking him earlier

Yes. He's demonstrated that he can play. I didn't know about him so I'm not blaming anyone
