I believe San Antonio has some of Atlantas picks and more importantly, New Orleans picks. If they won the lottery and you could get Flagg, Castle, the future NOP 1st rounder and 1 other pick I think that would be sufficient value for Giannis.

Knueppel? I mean fun, smart player, local guy etc but I just don’t see him as a lotto pick. Slightly bigger unathletic version of DDV, or maybe a cross between Kyle Anderson and DDV. I know a lot of draft sites have him crazy high and he does a lot of everything but Idk is it just the Duke bump in his stock?

I haven't really scouted for this year, but just knowing my types and reading/watching some of them, I would guess I'll ultimately land on Flagg as a distant #1. No real idea who I'd rank after that, but I suspect I will have Harper, Jakucionis, and Queen high up on my board.

Queen was a lot of fun to watch this year, but I'm not sure his game translates all that well to the NBA.

Word is it will basically take a first round guarantee or he’s going back because the NIL is more than he’ll get with even a second round guarantee.

Plus, he’ll get way more exposure this year to work towards being a first rounder next year.

For me it’s the high floor. Safest bet to be a plus two way starter in the league.

This kid can really play and is going to be AA for Duke if he doesn't stay in the draft.

Rutgers with 2 top 5 picks and had a losing record
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I don’t get this too. I don’t follow college ball too closely but how was Rutgers so bad with two top 5 picks playing? Are they just raw, did the rest of the team suck that bad or something else?

These stage interviews with background music. Producers of this show should have been fired a decade ago.

Ace in particular looked a little green and physically immature, and the rest of the team did suck that bad.
