Ayo looking good so far

[Fat]

y’all like cooper? another high on ball usg point guard that can’t shoot & One position defender ontop of that

I’ll admit his playmaking and foul drawing ability are both impressive though.

He’s kind of like a player you have to dedicate the ball too on offense I could see him thriving off the bench if anything

Yes please!!!!

Ayo has really good court vision. We have to get him. He is the total package

[3toheadmelo]

Ayo with the poster...wow

For those who are sad at missing out on a top 5 pick I looked back to see which top-5-picks are currently playing and winning more than the current Knicks are, for the team that drafted them?

Ayton. Simmons. Embiid.

That's it, going back more than a decade.

Cade is sizzling

Don't get me wrong its nowhere near the LeBron/Wade/Bosh/Melo class but it might be the highest top end since then.

Luka, if you consider the Mavs as having drafted him. Tatum. Jaylen Brown. revisit this post next week and you can probably add lamelo to that list when the hornets have passed us in the standings

Tankathon got him at 31. I know their rankings need updating, but it would seem he'll be available in the teens.

DX has Ayo as the 19th best player on their big board right now. If Ayo keeps this up in the tourney he might end up going lottery

So happy for the Big Fella.

The garden would have been chanting his name if they let fans inside for the big east tournament

I'm sold on Cade and Green as being elite, but the others I'm just meh on.

Mobley, Suggs and Kuminga all probably go #1 in last year's draft, but that was weak which is why I think this draft is so overhyped. Compared to all other top 3 prospect, (i.e. Zion, Ja, RJ, Luka, Ayton, Fultz, Tatum, etc.) I don't really see them being that much better. I wouldn't bet on more than three of the top 5 being an all-star level player let alone 4 being All-NBA which it was in 2003.

Ok I was off one or two. Still we have a lot of young talent on the roster, don't need to cry on missing out on ping pong balls.

Plus the Hornets have Denver, Lakers and Clippers coming up back to back to back. I wouldn't worry about them

what makes you meh on Mobley/Suggs/Kum?

they are have played extremely well.

What Cade is doing with a bum OKST team with little spacing. Imagine him in the NBA? Suggs just seems like a gamer. Green already has special scorer ability...just moves are effortlessly with a jumper.

Mobley is probably the most mobile big with skills to come out since AD. Kuminga just needs to put everything together but he has all the measurables and size and strength to be a dominant two way wing.

I know its nitpicky but the only thing I can get on Cade is his rebounding/lack of boxing out.

I have watched a ton of him this year and guys always grab rebounds over him. I mean if thats the only thing I can get on you, you are a special prospect. But I have noticed that a lot this year about his rebounding.

[3toheadmelo]

Mobley is good but he’s not close to AD

He's no Elfrid Payton

I didn't say that
