Then in 2018 I remember the dude being super high on Mo Bamba and thought he was going to be one of the best bigs in the draft and one of the best of his class. Had him higher on his board than Trae Young. I think he had Trae somewhere down around the 10 range and going to Philly. He also didn't like SGA very much at all.
"Experts" though

I wouldn’t be writing off Bamba just yet... it’s not even 2 full seasons and he’s playing behind an all star on a playoff team.
Dude only plays 15mpg but puts up 5.5 & 5 with 1.5 blocks n shoots 36% from 3. I wish we could trade for him n start him next to Mitch as a stretch 4.

He's slow footed and he's soft inside. Not only do I not value him as a 4 but I don't value him as a starter either.

I couldn’t disagree more. He could absolutely guard 4’s on the perimeter... shyt I’ve seen him pick up n stay in front of small guards at times.
Not sure how you couldn’t value such a young player with his potential as a starter on a rebuilding team.

Yea, a lot of the mocks are meaningless and no way to know what teams are thinking. I could see Killian Hayes go top 5 or 6 though. A lot of people have him pretty high....even the Ringer has him #1 on their board. Def worth the #6 pick imo. Kid was just getting better and better. Might be lucky if we can get him
The Ringer also has him and Haliburton above Lamelo... meh
I like Hayes but I wouldn’t take him that high. He seems like a project pick. I think he is getting overrated.
Yea, I like Hayes but would take LaMelo #1. Some of the ringers rankings/comparisons are outside the box. Tyrell Terry #8 overall is pretty crazy..Some of it I agree, some of it I don't. The format is pretty good though on the page.

Severely overrate much?
He’s a five. He cannot guard fours.

jaja. Plus now we're gonna get our coach named and no-one here knows who that'll be.
