Wow, that stroke is gross.


Looks gay in that tweet, but it's misleading. He's weak shooting off the dribble and in a pick and roll although he can run a pnr nicely. Looks great with 3-pt shooting. He'll be more a combo guard and may not be able to create his own shot readily. May have to be open more as catch and shoot set shooter in the NBA. Can he handle someone closing him out in the perimeter, i.e. create space for himself? He looks fast enough to get to any space on the floor he wants. Good perimeter defender. I still wouldn't mind drafting him if the Ws get a player like Marcus Smart and swap picks.
Simply not okay. Not up for debate or discussion. Avoid this kind of childish behavior, leave on your own, or get asked to leave. - CPH

Just for some context video.




He’s cerebral, or under control. Sometimes people mistake that as a bad thing. But I’m the video you can see how he reacts to some of the things mentioned previously. And it’s all in game footage.

Your statement was humorous only to you. Being on a sports forum doesn't give you free reign to say hurtful things or to be homophobic for a cheap laugh.

I can't find the tweet/article, but I thought I read something about Haliburton being near the top of NCAA prospects in percentage at the hoop. Now, that doesn't mean he gets there alot, but I think he's pretty accurate there and in transition (sorta like Steph always leading that category).

As for his shot in that video, have y'all not seen him before? That funky shot isn't anything new. But it goes in consistently.

My big question is if he can defend as good as most people claim, or is he going to get bullied in the NBA. Would be amazing if his first couple years he could have an offensive impact like a Shamet and a defensive impact like a poor mans Dunn. That would be an amazing rotation player early in career.

Are we sleeping on Cole Anthony or Maxey as trade back options?

So many teams these days have multiple lead guards that can just go get a bucket or create something. They may not be guys like Dame, Murray, Mitchell, Kemba.... but may have a scorer role like a FVV, Gordon, Lou, etc.

I liked Cole Anthony in the beginning, but he's not a pure PG, not athletic, not ready to step up rn, and kept on dropping. Will he still be a lottery pick? He's probably someone who should stay in NCAA one more year and be a solid lottery pick next year.

Maxey is in the same boat with Anthony in being not athletic nor have size. He's got the skills, but teams would have to be patient on him. He's not even a lottery pick, so didn't even consider him.

My comparison was a mix of Saric and Hezonja with more handling and playmaking but the question still stands. Would you use a top 5 pick for that mixture of players?

Hezonja because of the athleticism, shooting? open court speed. Saric because of high IQ, rebounding, post play. I don't know. He for sure is not worth a top 3 pick, even in this type of draft

If we draft someone that cannot shoot or create, We are not winning anything. Deni, Ball and Edwards are too inconsistent, although I would sort of trust Edwards ahead of those 3. I still want to get a knock down shooter like Herro/Duncan Robinson/Shamet. We need one of those on this team.

That's what scares me soo much about him. That's also a major question I'm sure scouts are trying to find answers too. Does he play winning basketball? Or is he just a Dion Waiters. I'm also kind of getting closer to the conclusion that Edwards is soooo not a warriors pick. He doesn't defend, Inefficient, Doesn't pass, doesn't put in effort on defense or doesn't move offball so why do they like him soo much?

The answer I'm leaning towards to is they want the player with the highest trade value, and they think it's Edwards. The player that makes most sense in 1-3 is Wiseman, but with this league going towards wings, they are probably thinking to pick the best wing in this draft, regardless of his faults. They are not probably thinking logically here. The BPA in my opinion is Wiseman. He has the least bust potential, Highest floor out of the top 3, really high ceiling as a 2 way do it all big, fits our roster the best. But if the team chooses to go in the direction of asset gathering instead of our best interests in strengthening the team them idk

Edwards % is low because he gets shots off that 5 other players on the planet are able to get off...
