He's tough.. holds his ground against bigger players on D.. hunts blocks steals and rebounds. Elite court vision.. throws great bounce passes.. his anticipation radar is off the charts... great hands.. great free throw shooter.. solid form.. going to be a great shooter from deep. A +++ defender on the ball and off of it. Rarely makes mistakes.. for someone with his talent he also rarely takes bad shots. Best point guard prospect I've seen since Chris Paul at Wake Forest. His ONLY weakness is will he get banged up a lot because he doesn't back down from any aspect of the game.. BUT he's a football player so you know he's not going to have an issue playing 100 when he's banged up.

Does that mean you like Suggs more than Cade??

When we first started talking about the draft I said I could see Cade dropping. I project Suggs to be a better pro.

Cade shows cracks in his armor in the tournament.. he had a lot of trouble splitting defenders and getting into seams. Teams got away with double teaming Cade. You try and double Suggs and you're going to get picked apart with minimal effort.

CP3 was a bulldog on D in college also but if you watch Suggs play a lot he is one of the only guards I've seen affect the game from a shot blocking standpoint. He so eager to hunt blocks especially on bigger players coming from the weak side that they think twice about it. I've never seen that. He's going to get a couple of blocks a game in his prime.

Now before the hate-me brigade comes in chirping all their garbage.. Curry had the mid-major cloud hanging over his head when he was coming out of college.. and Kyrie had durability and weight issues going into Duke.

The best college point guards I've seen were Kidd, Anderson, Paul, and this kid.

I dont know this is Doncic like shİt

we don't know where we'll end up. still too early to tell. only 2 games separate us from the 10 seed (and CHA, BOS, ATL, MIA, IND all have a weaker remaining SOS than we do. could finish as a top 6 seed, we could finish 7/8, we could finish 9/10, win in the play-in, or lose in the play-in....too early to know for sure

What’s a good a draft range for Brandon Boston?

He reminds me a little of Matt Harpring.I question his athleticism and ability to okay defense but maybe he’s a solid bench piece?

Boston is all over the place on various mocks. Highest appears to mid 1st round on a couple mocks. I've seen mid 2nd round on other mocks which appears to be where most of the predictions seem to feel he'll him. It's really all about how much you buy the upside with him cause he's looked pretty terrible at Kentucky. Could be worth taking with one of their 2 1st round picks. Boston still looks pretty good defensively. He's got a big wingspan. He's athletic and quick. Just offensively he's really not looked good.

I would love to get Kistpert with one of our picks. His shooting will translate and is a key skill we could use. Some question marks on defense, but should be at least a solid role player with a lethal skill. Would be a nice addition for us.

Wagner 1-10 for 4 points in the loss and this is supposed to be a lottery pick

Let’s draft Johnny Juzang he’s killing it

Moody fell to #21 on DX's big board. Yikes

At least he’s in our range now :lol:

We could use a Danny green type role player

this is the range he's supposed to be in. never saw him as a lottery pick. i guess i wouldn't mind him here

DX has franz wagner going #8 and he looks like nothing special I don't even think he looks as good as mortiz wagner did and this is supposed to be a strong draft???

HEZI · Post #1238 » by **HEZI** » Wed Mar 31, 2021 1:16 pm

What I noticed about Moody is he really lacks athleticism. No burst or quickness even off the ball he struggles to juke his defender and struggles getting free go through screens. He has good length so that helps him a lot and his jumper is so smooth but the lack of NBA level athleticism is concerning.

Yeah I don't get why his stock is so high, well I do get it but don't agree. I'm not seeing much with him.

I happen to agree. I don't see what makes him a better prospect then say Deni...Deni was a better athlete too.

Don't get me wrong Wagner has skill and can make plays with the ball but I don't think he will ever be a engine offense type player which means he's more secondary role type guy. Good heady player, probably will be a decent defender at the next level but not a shut down type guy.

Maybe his ceiling is Nic Batum?
