Wing-sized big. This will hurt him.

I'm with you. I think Deandre Hunter ends up the best player in this draft.

Meh, I think he'll be very solid, but he's got too low a ceiling to be the best player in the draft. Zion has far far farrrrrrrr more potential than Hunter. All he needs to do is stay healthy.

I was huge on Hunter going into the year and I still like him, but I think a lot of guys are going to have to bust for him to be the best player in the draft. Feel like he developed more like a big than a guard -- the ball handling is tracking on the right curve right now, but he is stronger than I expected at this point.

Wow, if those numbers are true, I'm guessing he sets some kind of record in the vertical leaps, because those numbers kinda suck, and he plays way above the rim.

Ideal measurements for Porter

A foot bigger than Giannis'.

Have we seen Ja's stats? I'm very curious to see his wingspan. If it's like 6'8"...........man. I really like this kid.

I'm very impressed with the muscle he was able to put on even before stepping into a professional NBA program. I'm usually super skeptical of these massively tall guys because they are usually skinnier and fragile, but he legit looks as big as Embiid does (muscle wise), especially in the upper body.

He's like a worse shooting much taller Thon. I'd draft him for the lulls.

Would be funny. Dude looks slooooow. He wouldn't last in a Bud offense.

Can you imagine being that big? Like ****

What do you guys make of Shamorie Ponds? I haven't followed him much but he looks really fluid on offense, has a nice handle and decent jumpshot.

Baller, great competitor, would be very happy if we picked him.

I really also like this Ty Jerome guy. This is the first year in awhile that I really haven't payed much attention to the draft, so I'm just starting to catch up. Scouts are saying Jerome is a PG but he looks like an off-ball guy? Intriguing none-the-less.
