I see him being a streaky scorer to start but I think he’s gonna still end up being really good. This top 5 is insane

What a bounce pass by Kuminga on the break to Green for a dunk

Seeing his good passes further helps me to believe this guy is a very safe pick. Great athlete with good basketball instincts with a little daring. I think he will be starting day one in the NBA. Hopefully, starting for your Toronto Raptors.

Kuminga looks like a smoother siakam and he’s only 18. Masai pls

Greens handle is really holding him back, that will prob determine his ceiling from Norman Powell to Bradley Beal

Bobby needs to do the right thing and get in on these top 5 prospects.

Always said Kuminga was the pick, glad to see him dominate

We're not drafting in that range, but he 100% fits MU's style and would fit like a glove here.

We're too good to draft this high even if we were to trade Kyle. The only way to draft here is to make a trade.

Nix didn't look like he did much in 10 mins of the 2nd half, just went to the line and split it.

He did finish with 3 assists and 1 turnover. He could be good pairing (being 6'5) on the bench with Flynn for the next generation.

It probably didn't help that Jarrett Jack had the game of his life, but I was impressed with Nix. He only got 19 minutes but still shot 4/7 and had 12/3/3. He impressed me more than Green tbh

The kid is built like a house too, and seems to have defensive instincts similar to KLow and Fred. Late in the game he got called for a foul on Mannion where Nix slapped it off his leg out of bounds. You could distinctly hear that he got all ball, but I thought the refs missed it.

I think when it's all said and done he should be a lottery pick, but if he drops to us I'd be over the moon. You essentially keep your 2 point guard lineup but add size to it.

Of course it is hard to get a sense of a guy in one game and highschool tape, but do you feel Nix is better than other guards of similar size? I have guys like Suggs, Springer, Bouknight, Davion Mitchell and Josh Christopher rated higher than Nix -- all in that 6'5 range with some better at scoring than others. I don't really know what is special about Nix, so I am curious why you think he is a lottery guy.

/edit To me he looks heavy and a below the rim guard. I feel like we need someone more explosive.

Jalen Green looks like a Zach Lavine project. Tons of athleticism but he is probably going to drive right exclusively, doesn't see the floor too well, and probably will take time to figure out his jumper. I wouldn't hesitate to take him because he carries himself like a star, but I think it will be a bit like Lavine who took a couple years to figure things out.

Kuminga has got it. The talent is all there and he's the youngest guy in the draft. I don't fully agree with the siakam comp still but I can't deny the post moves are very similar.

He was rated as possible #1 PG in the class, Suggs was able to play with stacked Gonzaga so his stock rose quickly.

He doesn't look chunky persay, just thick like OG. I think in a few years he can get more lean. I think a taller Deron Williams is a pretty sweet career ceiling projection for him.


Oh, I also thought of a comp for Joel Ayayi! Josh Hart with a little less athleticism but better PG skills. Mainly due to his superior knack for rebounding.

Kuminga should be the first pick. All-around solid game. Would love to him on this team.

Green is flashier but a bit more questions on his game translating to the league vs dominating high-schoolers

This is a good draft. We'll pick up some talent wherever we end up selecting
