Re: 2021 NBA Draft
Suggs is almost like a better scoring Rondo with how intense he is on defense and always looks pass first surveying the floor

He reminds me of NBA John Wall a bit. He's a very good playmaker and passer. More of a traditional PG who can do all the in-between stuff.

Highest ceiling is Mobley; can't develop skills to be 7' tall. The question is will he reach it...
That's why I find ceiling & floor questions kind of deceptive; the upper edge of ceiling, particularly for an 18 or 19 year old is hard to define. I prefer to think of 10% and 90% outcomes. At that point, Cade (IMO, of course) has a higher value 90% outcome.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft
I think a team would still take a chance on him but I could see where he would choose to come back and try to improve his draft stock.

I think I would be just taking any chance right now for a guaranteed contract in the NBA with the Virus always shutting things down. I'm sure everything will be back to normal eventually but when your talking about becoming a millionaire I would be scared.

So these guys watched these dudes in HS and AAU but 10 games into a disjointed college process, they are done with them.
If that is the case, stop talking about HS dudes at all because I can't believe a damn thing you say. Same dudes who said Reddish was trash.
Just wait until they get to college if your HS evaluations are worthless.

You say that even though "Reddish is trash" looks pretty accurate thus far.

Re: 2021 NBA Draft
The most disappointing thing about Boston isn't his lack of finishing ability or his shot not falling, it's that he just plays stupid. I think part of that is that Cal is not that great of a game manager, and part of it is that this iteration of Kentucky needs him to be a primary ball handler if they are going to be anything but a first round out in the tournament or an NIT team. I still think he's got some interesting tools, and higher than average potential just to get better simply because his body improves, but he's giving serious Wiggins vibes in terms of just how terribad he is as a decision maker.

Haven't watched him much but he reminds me of Kelly Oubre. Oubre has tools but is kind of a dope.
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

Oubre is the exact comp I have in my mock. Oubre is definitely more athletic, but if I remember right, was not that physically developed when he came in the league. Maybe a very poor man's Brandon Ingram.

Going back would be smart for his game, but maybe not his pockets. I'd like to see him return for a 2nd year, but he could also declare and spend time in the G-League.

Athletic marvel. But I did not like how passive he was down the stretch against Western Kentucky yesterday.
