College/Draft #6 - NCAA Finals + Draft Leadup W/ Knicks In The Top Seed!!!

[2010]

Wow Quentin Grimes declared and is hiring an agent?
Didn’t see that coming.
Interesting player. He’s not a bum.
Same category as Little.
Went to a team stacked with upperclassmen and didn’t “take” it from them or make much of an argument for themselves with their play.
He’d be an interesting second round pick.
And then again, this draft is really weak so maybe late first.

He'll be a better NBA player than college player. Some team is gonna come up when he slips and they nab him.

My biggest concern for the draft lottery is a team jumping in front of knicks like the hawks or cavs getting number 1 pick to select zion. I could see silver gifting wrapping the number 1 pick to the hawks because of there young core trae young, heuter and collins. If the hawks get number 1 they will pick zion without a doubt then i could see hawks using there 7 pick on bol bol the center from oregon. My biggest fear is the cavs winning the lottery and getting number 1 pick and they pick zion they get franchise player to replace lebron they are always lucky come draft time. I am not concerned the suns or the bulls get number 1 pick those 2 places are bunch of dumpster fires i don't think silver wants zion on either of those teams. The suns and bulls have both bad coaches, bad management, and bad owners.

Silver has nothing to do with the lottery. It's not rigged. Just look at the percentages, that's all that matters.

It's definetely rigged , how did Cleveland get two number one picks with one percent chance in 2011 and 2014. You can't explain that. They obviously favored gilberts disabled son . Pelicans got davis because of the Chris Paul trade . Wizards got wall because owner died . Chicago got rose 1% chance as well. Knicks got Ewing ( frozen envelope ).

Sarcasm? You don't actually believe the lottery is rigged right? Do you know how illegal and pointless that would be for the NBA to do that?

The NBA can get away with doing illegal things because it's a billion dollar industry . Very easy . They have power.

Major accounting firms do the audits for these things. They'd have to be in on it too. It's not rigged. If you think it is, why hasn't the NBA rigged it in our favor for the last 35 years. You'd think they'd rig it for the biggest market in the league.

morant actually finished at the rim worse than rj (who everybody complains about), let alone zion. jerry west is 80 now. everybody losses their fast ball eventually.

yea neither is that good at finishing. using more complete synergy rather than hoopsmath numbers, morant, rj and cam are all around 50-52%.

Can you source that?

Cause last I saw, Ja was at 60% around the rim, which still isn't great especially considering competition level, but 50% doesn't seem right with his FG% overall, cause he's at 56% from 2, meaning he'd have to be like 60 or 70% from mid, which I know he ain't

Dude would be worse than Mudiay at the rim, and I don't think he's that bad

it's different data sets. the hoopsmath one has both ja and rj at around 60%.

synergy has a bigger definition of at rim and morant's lack of finishing craft when he can't get all the way there hurts him. no runner/floater game.

morant's hitch will make him easy to defend, the crappiest nba player is better than 75% of all college players.

Can you post a clip of this hitch you've mentioned? I've never seen this kid take a shot with a hitch.

Jerry West believes in Ja

Gaines Jr. too.

Gaines Jr believed in Frank, so pretty sure we can discount his opinions.

Sucks that we're picking 5th.

Can somebody find something about Sonny Vaccaro being overheard by a neighboring table at the Cheesecake Factory saying that if Garland had been healthy all year he'd be going #1 overall?

Your ability to stick with something that's incorrect is admirable, I'll give you that.

something that's incorrect? lol no i just don't care if you don't agree with my opinion.

also if you don't see the hitch, then what's the point of me posting a video if you're not going to see it?

At this point I'm curious as to what you think a hitch actually is.

Dont see any hitch in Morant's jump shot. I see a low release point which may give him some trouble, but no hitch.

Right. Lower release point, elbow out, and it's more of a two-motion shot. I guess BNO thinks any 2-motion shot is a hitch.

Ja's shot doesn't have a hitch in it

its not a very good shot but there isnt a hitch in it

I think Culver has one though

[Juco24]

Word from Uva is that Hunter is seriously considering a return... have no idea why he would but apparently his decision is not easy. He loves his teammates and coaches. For what it's worth.

[Juco24]

Cam Reddish officially declares.. still think it's a mistake. Lol
