i can see it though. there is a lot of upside. but boy is he down now.


i mean he fits next to Kyrie/KD perfectly if his skills translate...he can defend a bit too

but man he was super unimpressive this year.



Pascal Siakim took 3 years to get to where he's at. Hopefully the impact Leonard has had on Siakim's confidence, will be the same as Durant on Knox.


Why bring up Pascal? Is there a really big similarity between Cam and Pascal that warrants this? Or perhaps it's the Kawhi/Durant comparison? Why not bring up PG13? Or Giannis? Or any other wingman who exploded? Or why not talk about the wings who busted? Why can't we just say that Durant is gonna improve Knox's confidence then?

Why not bring up Andrew Wiggins, a lotto pick (as opposed to Pascal who was picked later at 27), who was also mentored by a star Jimmy Butler, has a NBA body and the same mental issues of Cam?

You wanna pump up Cam. Fine. Give me some damn facts. Not crappy comparisons and hypotheticals.

i think reddish quit/was hugely lacking in confidence while at duke but he also showed subpar athleticism even at the college level.

he can make nba moves but doesn't have the tools to project that highly. shooting and defense can be developed. just take kpjr if you want to take reddish for more upside.

I got 3 sleeper picks the team who could get number 1 pick outside of the knicks and they are hawks,cavs, and wizards. If hawks get 1 pick it going be zion and would be surprise if silver gives them the pick because that market lacked true super star since dominque wilkins was there. I wouldn't be surprised if cleveland lands the number 1 pick they always get lucky lebron,irving, and wiggins. Also the cavs need somebody to replace lebron and silver could give them the pick. Finally the wizards there in cap hell right now with beal and wall contracts, the only way wizards can get young talent is by draft. The wizards get zion the one thing we will know bradly beal won't ask for trade for next 4 years playing with zion and success in the dc market. I don't believe the suns will get number 1 pick and that's because they got it last year it hard to get back to back 1 picks aka orlando magic 1992, 1993 .

you can honestly trade down a few spots for a high second rounder and get a lot more value. people need to recognize the value of leverage to sign guys to 4 year deals.

I honestly feel the same way lol. As we get closer I get more anxious. It’s been Zion or bust for me since January and I know I set myself for huge disappointment.

i wouldn't lose sleep, i would understand it. it's more of a reach but it's potentially a bigger pay off than guys like culver/hunter. i might actually agree with that. i'm gonna be disappointed if they pass on garland but i somewhat expect it. they like long athletic types. cam fits.

it's not off the charts but it's good enough to be quick and fluid to switch defensively. he has the ideal build/makeup for the modern nba. he just kinda sucked. :lol:
