Yeah I don’t see the fit on the one, but he’s damn good.
why would anybody care about Williams current fit with the Bulls?

I don’t care but I was thinking about the weird fit of Okoro to Cleveland.

Cleveland’s defense sucks, so they drafted the best defender

I know you guys. I get why Cleveland pulled the trigger. I just don’t see Okoro fitting with the group they have that’s all. I get why Cleveland would pick him, he’s a stud defensively.

OK, time for new thread for the next draft, unless there are some UDFAs that are still out there for the Warriors to sign.

I've heard claims that 2021 could be the best draft class in almost 20 years.

I've heard that about most drafts over the past 20 years.

Skip to 1:57 for 5x5 including high level NBA players.

Ziaire Williams will be in the top 7 range. Would give the future Warriors range while Wiseman dominates down low.

Glad we didn't take Toppin after seeing him on the floor in the NBA. Yes he'll score and have some highlights...but man...those feet and his lateral movement...ugly.

What’s crazy is some of the draft sites had him so low for so long early. I couldn’t understand what the problem was.

He fit the modern criteria for forwards in the NBA, and had youth on his side. Which the draft sites usually over hype.

I think the issue was/is Florida State. They’re style of play doesn’t allow for one guy to take over and dominate the ball. They are the epitome of team and they work that way on both sides of the ball. So numbers tend to suffer a bit for some of the top prospects.

I do think Leonard Hamilton is approaching being the best coach in all of college. He has a type of player he recruits as well, and it’s becoming an NBA factory for wings.

Scottie Barnes is there now and he looks great to me. Big, tough, under control. Total moxy and in the right spots. Also a team player. I love him.

If the trend continues Scottie might fall a bit, or be a bit underrated. Much like the early trend for P Will.

Ya I watched Scottie Barnes last week..Have the same opinion..Also I love the way the fat kid plays..Gray was his name? He reminds me of Draymond in terms of strength/IQ/leadership .Doubt he goes anywhere close to the 1st round

Good call. Same reason I think Vassell was underrated/overlooked.

Wish we had drafted him. Hopefully Wiseman turns out to be just as good or better.

Not sure about all of y'all but whoever ends up being the best is the guy I had #1 on my big board. Any talk otherwise is just horrible lies. Disgusting.
