Giannis Antetokounmpo i like what i saw from him he looks promising, he's only 18 and still has a long way to go but so far so good. Ill for sure be following him, he was always intriguing to me.

I always thought of Oladipo as a role player at best but now hes starting to prove me wrong

Ben McLemore had another good game.

Both Kings rookies had solid games. Ben's catch and shoot game is great but his ball handling still needs work. Best thing is he isn't taking any bad shots. McCallum looks poised and can run an offense decently.

He is clear and away the best player in the draft, which is saying a lot considering how early it is....preseason....but I haven't really heard many people on real gm hating on him, just national media/writers

Really? I haven't seen any hate on Oladipio anywhere. He seems to be universally liked by all.

Did you see that Dirk style one leg fade away, he looked EXACTLY like Durant when he does that shot. The raw kid has more talent then I thought he had, I thought he has game, but it would take awhile to translate over because he was playing in such a weak league.

I've never seen a guy who's jumper looks so much like Ray Allen, its like he's a twin.

Dennis Schroder -> Rondo clone with a better jumpshot.

For such a weak draft, its quite amazing that we have clones of Durant, Ray Allen and Rondo (with a better jumpshot)... all outside the top 6 picks too!!

Of course, we might wanna wait for the regular season to anoint them as such... :wink:

just playing Devils advocate.

Agreed. They could be better than those comparisons and we just don't know it yet.

#1 pick vs #2 right now. Not even close right now in favor of Oladipo.

I know he's coming off an injury but he's one hefty rookie

Sergey karesev is going to be a good player.

Looks better than your #1 pick so far.

I like Bennett but he seems like the type of player that can't control his eating habits. Great offensive talent though.

I know its only preseason, but Bennett has yet to be impress me at all.

Karasev on the other hand, he looks like an instant rotational talent with that jumper.

Yea bennet looks terrible so far. Oladipo looks like a stud. I hope Sergey gets the starting spot at SF, he has potential.
