After the 1st and even 2nd pick usually its a toss up.


I tend to agree with this except I remember the jead scratcher on how Anthony Bennet was picked first. I don't think anyone saw that.

no. Pau Gasol was better than Marc in my opinion. and Brook definitely better than Robin. (just realized Brook and Robin were twins, didnt catch that before so i withdraw them)

Just saw that one. Saw another one just a few minutes ago of things I hadn’t seen him do before in game.

I might be changing my mind with him.

Curious which side you guys feel got "luckier" with the lottery, Magic or Pistons. Not including Franz pick last year at #8, we each will have had the #1 and #5 pick in consecutive drafts. So the question is would you prefer:

Cunningham and Ivey/Sharpe
or
Suggs and Jabari/Chet

Who had the better timing with the ping pong balls?

I hope Suggs and Jabari/Chet are better but I would rather have Cade and Ivey. Both are going to be stars

I think Jabari will be better than Cunningham and Suggs will be better than Ivey.

Smith will be 19 for the entire upcoming season, Cade was 20 for his entire rookie season. So Smith's second year will be better than Cade's rookie season.

As of today, I would easily take Detroit. If Suggs remembers how to shoot, then us but that's a big if looking at last year's stats.

TEAM CHET!!!!

But as i look more and more... i can easily be happy with TEAM SMITH... and even Bachero, Ivey, Sharpe.

They all have the potential to be really good players in this league.... and those that are saying this is not that strong of a draft... might be thinking otherwise soon.

thanks guys and gals for posting the videos.

At the end of the day ... we have to understand there is more to it all than our superficial analysis and WeHam will have a better stack of information to make the decision from.

If they project chet be able to bang down low... gain weight.... and show even more out of his bag... they may want to go with him

If jabari has a ton of untapped potential and his epic shooting is just the scratch of the surface... *BOOM*

If Banchero has the ability to be an average to above average defender and still has room to gro as a playmaker....Let's go!

same stuff can be said for Ivey and Sharpe.

And a lot will be discovered during their interviews. If we trade down and able to get who we want + an asset... #winning

I only know of Chet, did any of the other top guys play Team USA bball in the past? Those are usually easy to find full games.

Just thinking that Jabari would've dominated U19 last season but he was already in college.

it's a no brainer,pistons got a franchise player with no chance to miss the call.
the other pick when you got is not even that important,you already had what you want for your franchise in a rebuild.

imagining Cunningham-Wagner-Wcw+#5 in this draft + all the complementary pieces we have + cap space.
would be (sadly) a salivating scenario

Thats like 90% of his game in one short clip :P If he improves his shooting on the move maybe someday he will be on Bertans level on offense. If he goes number 1 i will put "i know nothing about basketball" in my signature. (or Weltman knows nothing about basketball if he busts :P)
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !
