1. Draft Hunter
2. Sign KD
3. Sign Kawhi
4. Start: Mitch-KD-Hunter-Kawhi-Frank (Bench: Dotson, Vonleh, Kadeem, DSjr, Knox)

#1 Defensive Team of All Time Potential.

I would love to see those 5 on the floor together. Obviously you could plug in Zion in place of Hunter if we get the #1. Still... holding teams to under 90 points in this era... wow.

You guise watch college basketball? Its an abomination compared to NBA basketball, it feels like a totally different game

Cam was in the #1 convo before disgusting college ball taking a chance on him at #5 is absolute bargain

Hunter on the other hand just vaulted into the top 5 imo.


The lack of burst and weird shooting mechanics is why I was always hesitant to have him in my top 5 but outside of that he’s a pretty smart and crafty player


the funky shot bothers me more than the lack of burst. College bball has no spacing so craftiness can survive in the NBA and he has pretty good strength on drives. The jump shot is kinda weird and I like culver alot. He's a more heady player and better defender than Barrett but Barrets a better athlete and has a more projectable jumper.


True true I really don’t care who we end up with after Zion

*putting my cam bias aside lol.


Whoever the Knicks are most comfortable with is cool with me

he is 21 though. he's had longer to fill out physically and work on his game.


Culver isn’t going to gain 25+ pounds with another year of experience. Hunter was also just as productive last year (min per).. Hunter won’t wow you with the athletism culver has but Hunter appears to likely adapt to the NBA game better than culve will.

Easily. Culver best bet for his career is someone drafts him as a PG and he becomes a blend of Steve Smith and Frank Nkilikina not as athletic as Frank and not as good a shooter as Smitty but a great decision maker

College hoops has been real bad for about a decade--this coming from a UConn fan who's enjoyed two titles in that stretch. I watch less and less with each passing year; conference realignment and the death of the Big East playing no small role either. The talent level is just too low with so many kids leaving early. These days I only watch games featuring projected lottery picks.

Best part for me is like Euro ball makes me appreciate NBA so much more

Whoever is there of Culver or Garland should be the pick. Culver is a solid all-around prospect with a high floor and solid ceiling. Garland has massive upside. Looks like a Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Gilbert Arenas type. His injury causes some skepticism though.

Bleacher report's latest mock has Garland all the way up to #4! And interestingly enough - Reddish slips to #6
