ok, it may be time to take a step back. take a moment to reflect on what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent it. you know what i mean. sometimes we have to look inside for the answers. i have faith that you're gonna come back even better than before. i really do. i'm rooting for you. good luck.

Take your own advice whenever you say Garland is the #2 prospect :lol:


no, no....he's number 3 :lol:

Ayton. I am biased though because I love throwback bigs, so I get why people would take Doncic #1. I am taking Zion over all of them though. I think Zion is the best prospect since AD


Agree than Zion is the best big man prospect since AD (probably overall as well). But I’m trying to think of the last wing player that was as dynamic as Luka. His IQ and talent is off the charts.


Are you ignoring his defense tho?

I'm just tryna be the voice of reason here. Ayton dominated college and has just completed a full NBA season. He deserves the benefit of the doubt when compared to Garland just based on body of work alone.

I know Garland is being hyped around here cuz he is the flavor of the month. But part of that is due to the mindset of absence makes the heart grow fonder. We simply ran out of things to say since over critiquing all the prospects who played all year. So now we have come full circle (jerk) to talking up Garland to the point of hyperbole despite the tiny sample size. If he played all year dudes would be harping on is warts.

Throwback bigs play defense!

If Ayton can develop on that end, we have a discussion. He's shown... well... improvement. So I won't say it can't be done.

when i said throwback i was really talkin about his physical profile and offense. i love his game so much. his defense is so much better compared to last year in college though which is why i am sticking with him at #1. people said he was hopeless on that end and he's proving them wrong for sure.

I am so ready to rev up our tank again next season.

James Wiseman will help us set a new trend towards a re-emergence of the big man.

I can envision him playing together with Mitch, who can be free to wreak havoc on the opponents’ perimeter offense given that we would have another defensive anchor in the paint.

We would be such a nightmare against jumpshooting teams.

sekou just needs to shoot better and he has been above .400 since november. still a lot of projection in there but hes another 3&d big wing type who has further upside.

it’s not a high lotto profile but is fine at like 12
