Rondooo like play Last night, he is finally healthy.

1st round pick next year
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

where you rank him in this class of PGs? We have such a mixed bag with Melo, Cole, Theo, and Killian

i think Cole's clear #1 right now among PGs, after that it's a bit blurry...I think i like him better than Theo/Killian who I wasn't too impressed with first look.

like the swag and the skillset but yeah he's pretty small frame wise, don't know what his defensive potential is either as this point.

What do the draft experts in this forum think about Zagars' draft potential - late first round/early second or somewhere lower than that?

First round for sure. This kid has Navarro written all over him.

He is a first round talent skill-wise, heck, he is probably a lottery talent skill-wise. But his body is questionable, and we know how important that is.

Do you think he is much worse body and athleticism wise than CJ McCollum from Portland? I think if CJ can be a borderline star, I kinda like Zagars' chances.

Yeah, there are exceptions for sure! I hope he'll be okay body-wise because his game is so exciting to watch.

Zagars is definitely talented, but he's doing absolutely nothing at all in a EuroCup level (below EuroLeague level) team. And it's a mediocre EuroCup team at that.

Navarro was miles better at the same age. And Zagars is clearly more athletic than Navarro and obviously not as gifted of a natural scorer as Navarro was.

After great national team debut just last week, Arturs today played his best game in ACB league 16 PTS, 6 Assists in 18 minutes while shooting 5/7 from the field.

I will just leave this here.



After his injury, he has a lot of ground to cover up to get back on those 1st round draft boards. Maybe he aims for the next year, but it will be tougher competition.

^ agreed

just worry that he's too slight/slim, needs to get stronger and manage his pace better.

but I actually think he's more skilled than Hayes/Theo for sure.

Considering Mannion/Anthony/Maldeon etc are all projected top 15, whats the general consensus of where he will fall?
