That was a great game for him offensively. However, i still want to see more from him as a playmaker. He barely ever creates for others...

Congratulations to QUIZ and DayofMourning. I can see that you are already moderators. Greetings to Bishop45. Thank you DayofMourning. I have just finished reading your message. Thank you everybody. It feels good to be appreciated. I assure you that I am still part of the team. Merry Christmas! And before I forget, congratulations to IggieCC. However, I have a doubt: I no longer find comments by Heatwillrise. The reason, is it because IggieCC is now a moderator?

Spoiler:

oh chit, return of the messiah.

Show us who to draft next mr.kristap.

And HWR was banned by IggieCC first following day of his inauguration.

Did IggieCC force you to change your nickname?

This moderator is out of control. :nonono:

Even with all that's going on in the states, kinda doubting him falling later than 10... And most of his skills are of the point variety, would be surprised a little if he comes in a 2

Ntilikina reminds me of CJ Mccollum with better defense and maybe better point guard skills. Pretty impressive. This draft class is amazing.

I think both Fox and Anunoby have a better chance at being a top ten 10 pick than Ntilikina.

I remember in the 15 draft the prospect order didn't really get set until the Tourney was underway. I remember Kat being at #4 before eventually becoming a runaway 1st pick.

We'll draft the BPA assuming that he's playing in the NCAA. I wouldn't focus on Ntilikina too much, remember that the Heat had Kristaps at 13 on their draft board and while that may seem like bad scouting in hindsight, remember that for every KP there's a dozen Darko's Bargnani's or Hezonja's. I doubt our FO is ready too buy in. Finding gold abroad is what the Spurs do.

Looking at Lonzo Ball he is absolutely setting the court on fire with his shooting but he's only averaging around 13.7ppg, he projects to be a floor general but where does he project as a scorer? Is he a pass first guy or can be become a 20ppg PG in the league, because we really need a first option shot creator to add to our young core.

Kristaps top 5 would've been a scary pick for any team in that draft. I don't really think it was poor scouting. With all we knew he was a scary 8th-10th pick. His frame, skillset looked of the darko/Barg mold. Ntilikina's been projected a top 5-7 since last year and will be one of the most NBA ready players in the draft as well as the youngest. His defense, handle and physical profile should give him a spot in the league.

This little phucking spider is going to be 18 on draft night and 6'5. He might still phucking grow a few inches on top of being one on of the most NBA ready pg's on the board

Well everything's unprecedented until it happens. With that said with so many good PG's playing in the NCAA to choose from I find it almost impossible to believe that our FO will choose the guy from Europe.

Percentage-wise just about the same, albeit twice as many American prospects bust just the same. That's no reason to not pick up a good prospect imo.
