That kid can move his feet on the block , shoot with range , block shots/contest shots , make smart decisions with the ball in his hands in transition, etc.

From what games I’ve seen so far, my fav Freshman are :

1. Suggs
2. Jalen Johnson
3. Mobley
4. Cade
5. Ziaire
6. BJ

Now in terms of fit , that list would be rearranged


I was skeptical, but he’s certainly been pretty impressive to start.

Needs a lot of work. I could actually see him staying another year if he doesn’t progress through the year.

He's a candidate to drop out of the first round. He's been worse than Cole was in the first couple games last year.

He slipped on the floor trying to get open early in the second half last night. I didn't see any replays of it to see how bad it was. They let him play with the brace on it pretty late into the game though.

Cade makes it look so easy. If we don’t get the 1st pick? I’m all for trading up for Cade to put him with RJ & Obi.

If Suggs in within reach I wouldn't trade up and relinquish another asset in such a deep draft class for Cade. Cade is a stud, but this class is littered with studs.

Cunningham is SO smooth. He'd have double digits assists if his teammates could hit shots

My one concern watching him the other day is he tends to fall asleep in games.

I’m all for taking Suggs if he’s within reach. But if he’s not, I’d rather swing big and jump all the way to 1. Lot of variables and depends on our spot obviously and which teams are in front of us. I don’t see teams like the Kings, Pistons and Cavs taking PGs, so things can get real interesting

Ideally we want guys like Johnson and Mobley to play well and rise into the top 5 of the draft.

It's the first time I've ever watched Boston, and he's looking all kinds of sloppy, reckless, and low IQ (bad shots/poor rebounding effort) in the first 5 minutes of this game. Who are his comparables? I'd like to like him so the elite pool is deeper when we're picking 6th.
