iso scoring at the end of the day is the most criticle part of NBA basketball. If you are a team without iso scorers then you will not win the championship. Kyrie's shot last year came out of what? iso... Kevin Love's stop last year against Curry came against what? iso... You need a Lebron, Curry, Duncan, Manu, Wade, Dirk, Kyrie, Pierce, Kobe... I think that De'aaron Fox has the potential to be that sort of player.

If we don't take Jackson, I could get behind DSJ.

Yeah, there are several players I could be behind, our biggest problem is we don't know what we have in Ben or as a team so its hard to know what the right fit is for the team.

I wanted the lakers pick pretty bad, but the only reason I've gotten over it is cause we really need to know what we need as a team and right now we don't really know. We probably need to find out what we have before we get that pick, so it probably worked out for the best.

LeBron and Simmons play a similar role.
Kyrie and DSJ can play a similar role.
DSJ can be the Kyrie to Simmons.

sure would've been nice to see Simmons play last year so we could get an idea of how looks at the point and how he fits on the court.

Instead of that fraudulent "not healed properly" tanking bull that too many fans defended.

I hear you but Simmons did practice. I think the Sixers have an idea how he will fit. Of course practice is nothing like real actual live games but I don't think they are going in as blindfolded as you think. I think they can draft a player who fits with him making calculated decisions on what they have already seen.

I think a guy as seasoned as BB can extrapolate practice to in game fit and role. Obviously, the effects of pressure, crunch time situations and other variable can't be simulated but I'm sure the staff has a pretty idea of how it should look.

Baron Davis!

Wilfried · Post #1873 » by **Wilfried** » Wed May 24, 2017 1:50 pm

He indeed really reminds me of Baron Davis.

Hopefully an more efficient version.

Scary talent. He's going to kill in private workouts. His problem is constant focus during games. In a workout to display skills, he's going to make players ranked ahead of him look silly.

The deadline for early entries is midnight, right? I wonder if Diallo stays in or not. I want to see him at Kentucky next year.

Rumor is he's coming back. The fact that it hasn't happened yet is a little unnerving for me though.

Man I'm so torn on this draft class.

Tatum is starting to rise in my want at #3. I think his offensive ability, projection as a shooter and size/length makes for a hell of a fit with Simmons/Embiid.

Unbreakable99 · Post #1879 » by **Unbreakable99** » Wed May 24, 2017 2:43 pm

Read this about Tatum. But can someone tell me how Paul George differs as a scorer compared to Tatum if Tatum's shot translates? Paul George isn't overly quick or fast. He's a very good shooter. I would say Tatum has a better first step than Paul George. I do think Tatum can be better than Porter. I think they have similar traits. I think Tatum can be over a 40% 3 point shooter. I feel like a player recruited by a college and already committed to that college but then decommit and opening recruiting back up and everyone is back on the table as far as who I want in the draft lol.

Tatum = DO NOT WANT
