Scottie should’ve easily had double digit assists tonight. Too many guys missing open shots, even layups lol

Kuminga is a really nice prospect. Extremely athletic. Hopefully he develops more to his game apart from just scoring though

Kuminga looks better shooter than Barnes. But Barnes is better whole package. Couple of years from now Kuminga may be consider as among best 5 players of draft.

A light 21-8-6 on 8/12 shooting for Scottie in 32 minutes of action.

Tier 1 looks to be Mobley, Barnes, Green, and Cade. Those 4 are just different. All 4 are going to be franchise cornerstones.

I have Kuminga in that second tier with Wagner, Suggs, and Giddey.

He’s not a better shooter than Scottie. He was 2/17 from 3 before tonight. He had a great game for sure, but he definitely is still a project. Especially with his shot. Great flashes tonight tho

He sucks though. Roleplayer bench warmer at best.

Ceiling is Draymond Green without the passing, defense, and shooting

That was majority of Raps fans before the draft though. We were all gassing Suggs to the max cuz we thought he'd be a Raptor lmaoo. :lol:

In what world???

Jesus Giddey has 16 boards and 10 assists. Needs 1 more bucket for a triple double

Shooting poorly, otherwise a great game

QingJames · Post #110 » by **QingJames** » Sun Dec 19, 2021 2:55 am

Giddey on triple double alert.

Wagner was 4 assists shy of a triple double. Shot the ball horribly tonight though. (Did make a key basket in last minute of the game)

XTC · Post #112 » by **XTC** » Sun Dec 19, 2021 3:20 am

Giddey with 8 points, 18 boards(4 offensive), 10 assists.

What a game!

Seeing all these big playmaker has to be Lebron James' legacy. Wagner, Barnes, Cade, Giddy all have legit guard skills. It's amazing to see. It makes sense that based on their ages, their formative years were spent watching Lebron who plays a complete game.

As much as I get tired of Lebron at times, I have to thank him for that. It's way better to watch than guys trying to be the next MJ like the prior generations of players.

I like Kuminga.... gotta remember hers supposed to be in this next draft class. Really would be nice to see him sneak into the rotation a bit and develop.

Goated draft class

if cade can keep up those lofty numbers i will give him roy over mobley. his efficiency sucks so he must be a volume guy.

No, his efficiency doesn't suck. He missed training camp, no preseason, missed the first bunch of games, then thrown to the wolves on the worst team in the past 10 years perhaps. Its been very good since he got his legs back, and integrated into Casey's "system"(no system, just a highscool team offense)

Besides that, this draft class so far is insanely good. Holy CRAP.
