Going off my in depth analysis of watching YouTube clips, Suggs looks legit. Not really convinced by Cunningham tbh.

Idk though Cade has a jumper that Simmons never had in college. Mobley is a 7 ft who's shooting 44% from 3. All are great prospects but we got to lose more games if we are to pick top 5.

Cade is nothing like Simmons. Not as athletic but a way better shooter, more versatile scorer and a better leader. He also controls the game much better than Simmons does. With that being said, I still prefer Suggs.

Cade's team isn't nearly as good as stacked #1 Gonzaga (amazing how far they've come in 20 years) so things aren't easy. Maybe like how Jason Kidd was on Cal. Cade's A/T is bad at 1, so really he's a point forward right now rather than a pure PG.

I would take Mobley #1. Mobley's ceiling is Giannis that can shoot from outside.



Then Kuminga or Cade next. Then Suggs or Jalen Green.

I'm good with a pick at #10-14 as long as they take a forward or PF/C. Jalen Johnson, Greg Brown or Kai Jones.

I’m just a big Brandon Roy fan so if someone is compared to him, that’s the player I want lol.

Tough, hard-nosed defender. Also very smart team defender. Only negative is his average wingspan, and height is better for the PG than a SG.

Watched a bit of tape of the top prospects just now.

Suggs looks like Jamal Murray with defense. Would be nice to have someone that can just go and get a bucket when needed

Mobley looks like a Bosh type. Definitely needs to fill out a bit but his versatility as a big man is intriguing

Cunningham is intriguing. Seems like a high IQ player that doesn’t seem too athletic.

Jalen Green so far I’m not sold on. I haven’t seen much of him but he seems like an athletic freak. Idk where he’s at in terms of skill level so I won’t make a judgement yet

Kuminga seems to me like a Jaylen Brown type. Very athletic and built. I wonder if he can develop his shot the way Jaylen has

That top 5 looks very exciting. Combined with the 2022 draft potentially allowing high schoolers. Now is a great time to grab a franchise changer.

with the new lottery odds you don't really have to go all out to tank....just have to be in the top 5-6 and you'll get good odds for top 4 and #1 pick.

Raptors would definitely have to trade Lowry though to fully commit to the tank

50 year old lebron is better than this team at its current state combined xD



Speaking of Bronny James, he's in the same class (2023) as Elijah Fisher. Fisher is a much better prospect than James to be honest. Fisher is ranked #3 in the 247 Sports ranking while Bronny is 30th.

Back on topic, it's a hard choice between Cunningham and Suggs. I'd give the edge to Suggs at this moment. Suggs was a two sport star in high school in Minnesota (football, basketball) and had football scholarship offers. It looks like he chose the right sport.

Don't want 6'4 pg for a franchise player. Let's get some size finally.

Imagine Nurse coaching the 2003 Cavs. He'd sit Lebron for the first 3 seasons of his rookie contract.

Okay so who's the real deal? We need two way player who is a legit superstar no fake ass punk ass I'm tired of this crap.

We need a tough, skilled player. Someone as good or better than Tatum and ya, he's tougher than Siakam and more skilled.

Tell me who's real

A little early but...

I'd go with Suggs as my undisputed #1
Then, I'd take my chances on Kuminga/Green at #2/3
I'm not really high on Cade, so I'd go Mobley at 4 then Cade at 5
Finally Jalen Johnson at 6

There is virtually no chance of picking that high.

Tanking threads are one thing, but getting excited about specific players is just ridiculous given the math.

I mean, it's greater than 0% and there's no shortage of people buying lottery tickets so I guess that's all some need, but honestly not sure why ppl waste time specifically talking about Suggs or Cunningham.

Mobley looks good but he doesn't look like he has the crazy athleticism of Giannis.
