Amen. I can enjoy it sometimes but seeing teams score in the 40s and 50s is painful to watch.

I don't watch it regularly but I always try to watch a few games from the top prospects like Wiseman.

For those that follow college ball more than myself, anyone have any thoughts on Nico Mannion? Seems like kind of an intriguing prospect.

Mannion is good at pretty much everything PG related but great at nothing. He is thin with a short wing span which makes his defense a big question mark at the next level. He probably goes in the 7-12. There are 6-8 players I would definitely take ahead of him at this point. The biggest issue is one that he can't fix and that is his frame and length. If we are only talking about PGs I like Cole Anthony, RJ Hampton and Theo Maldon better and I suspect that Presti would like LaMelo Ball more. Ball is an interesting prospect at 6'7, big for a PG, and he could be the best passer in this draft class. Ball's issue is his shooting, but he's a good FT shooter so maybe his 3pt shooting can be fixed. Ball could be the youngest player taken in the first round as he won't turn 19 until after the draft.

I don’t think Presti would consider having Lavar ball around this organization.

Anthony Edwards is the guy I want the most. I doubt OkC is bad enough to pick in the top 3 though.

I’d look strongly at

Tyrese Maxey 6-3/200 (6-6 wingspan) from Kentucky

Edwards looks legit. Massey has been kind of meh since his initial great performance.

Are there any bigger pure points that would be available with the Denver pick?

Tre Jones of Duke could be there. Jahmi'us Ramsey of Texas Tech might improve his stock to that area. I haven't seen enough of Tech to have an opinion on Ramsey other than he apparently can shoot, unlike Jones.

Is ramsey a pg? Watching high school highlights he seems more comfortable attacking off the ball, and has some tunnel vision when it's in his hands.

Dont know where maxey is projected, but he seemed more comfortable looking to set guys up.

Maledon and Hampton seem like ideal fits next to sga as well. Want somebody who isn't ball dominant ala russ, but also need them to be able to create for teammates so the offense isn't all on shai.

I've seen Ramsey listed as a PG. Maxey is a top 10 guy. OKC could have a chance at him with their pick.

They don't have to take that player in this draft though and definitely not with their own pick. They could take Wiseman or McDaniels, depending on where they pick and how things fall.

What do you think of RJ Hampton?

I like Hampton. He has a lot of physical tools. He needs get stronger and become a better finish better at the rim and go through contact instead of trying to avoid it because he can't finish through it. He needs to improve his left hand and his shooting confidence. I don't know of any issue with Hampton that can't improve with decent coaching. His shot doesn't need to be remade or anything like that. A 6'5 combo guard could be really good next to SGA, especially from a defensive perspective.

I’m not sure how to evaluate nbl vs ncaa talent but he intrigues me.

I'm not sure who Okc should try to get with the early 1st round pick but later in the draft there's a few guy I would like them to take chances on.. Landers nolley, Obi Toppin and Kia Jones are a few.. All are l 2nd round pick right now but that will more than likely change..

Are you happy with the Thunder’s draft night decisions?
