Don't give up your position so quickly.


No doubt still cam&zion as 1 and 2 but morant is creeping up into that 5-7 range for me.

I previously viewed him as late lotto selection.

You have Cam Reddish at no. 2?

What about Fletcher McGee at no. 2?

Well it’s certainly not up to Zion where he ends up so it won’t matter.

While players don't have a choice on their draft location, not wanting to be there never works out. Hopefully this is not the case.

Zion doesn’t want a big market, but committed to Duke to play on the highest stage.

Gotcha.

This would be a good problem to have but we should get the #1 pick first.

The one thing that Ja has shown consistently is the willingness to do what it takes to make his team better! He scores (sometimes forces) things because he is the best player on his team but yet at the same time notice how he does his best to get everyone involved and also set guys up for the easy shot. His court vision is insane and when you consider the fact that he can make PRECISION passes with EITHER hand.... dude's a star in the making. Yes, his defense sucks (but hard work can fix that) and his jumper needs work but it's proven that you don't have to be a great jump-shooter to be a great PG. Once he gets a mid range game & I think he will... I honestly believe you're looking at an all-star caliber player. I think he'll end up leading the league in assists fairly quick.

What are y'all looking at who say Ja has a hitch in his jumper? Mudiay and DSJ usually have an awful hitch. Ja's form ain't the prettiest but it is smooth.

Gotcha.


Big Market might just mean Big City in how it was translated. Which Durham is not. Dude is from a small place in SC. Many people from the south don't like Big Cities and would rather be in a small one. Big Market is usually synonymous with "Big City"

I hate KP to death for wanting out and getting his way. But the thought of...

Ja Morant — Frank Ntilikina
Jimmy Butler — Allonzo Trier
Kevin Durant — Damyean Dotson
Kristaps Porzingis — Kevin Knox
Mitchell Robinson — JaVale McGee

Would have been epic and super young with all that home grown talent..

Anyways gotta stop living in the past. Too bad KP wanted to stop losing lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Oh yeah forgot we’d have to get rid of Lee and THJr, I’d would’ve kissed that 2020 pick goodbye for them.

I could fuq with that young core.
