What does that even mean? What does being a 'top pick' have to do with trying to make rookie projections before they even have one practice with the SL team?

Besides, I put 'imo' there.... it's 'my opinion' that I think it's a bit early to make projections at this point... there's no right or wrong in an opinion about a subjective assessment, I didn't make an objective claim.

:lol:

Yes but his subjective opinion is obviously superior. To him. That's what makes it objective, duh.


I could make the argument from the other side as well if asked to.

After the draft selections and before the players ever take the floor as a member of the franchise. A person who wanted to test their predictive powers to estimate in exactitude and post a statistical declaration before the players don the jersey for the first time.

It's a highly nuanced milestone in some regards that one might note.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett have yet to step on an NBA court — but they’re already shattering records when it comes to moving merch. The dynamic Duke roommates — who got picked No. 1 and No. 3, respectively, in last week’s draft — sold more jerseys and shirts than any other draftees in history, according to Fanatics, the sports-licensing firm that operates the NBA’s online store as well as its brick-and-mortar flagship on Fifth Avenue.

Fantastic Bilas interview. Lots of great info about Barrett. Some about Iggy and goes on to talk about the Giants Daniel Jones too.

The other one has been posted before. :D
