[UNCNYC]

I have Grant Basile in my PF's I want most if goes undrafted... He is a great player.

Reminders of Baylor VS Kansas right after the dook game.. It will be a great test for Keyonte George as well as Jalen Wilson and Gradey Dick. I have dropped a couple out of first round consideration


CG - *Nikola Durisic, *Agustin UBAL, Amari Bailey, "KJ" Simpson JR,
PG - *Ajay Mitchell, *Anthony Black, *Taran Armstrong, *Craig Porter JR.,
SG - *Keyonte George, *Devin Carter, *Reese Dixon-Waters,
CF - *Brandon Miller, *Andre Jackson, *Michael Sharavjamts,
SF - *Jalen Wilson, *Gradey Dick, Jett Howard, *Trey Townsend, Keyontae Johnson,
PF - Noah Clowney, Brice Sensabaugh, Tristan Da Silva, Chris Ledlum,
C - *Azuolas Tubelis, *Patrick Gardner,

[UNCNYC]

Jalen Wilson is so good. I think he has 38 and 30 points in his last two games. He has 14 at half in this game.

[LofJ]

I live nearby the University of Arkansas and I've caught a few games. Anthony Black is a leader and a winner. He fills up the stat sheet with winning plays. He's exactly the type of player this team needs.

A top 4 pick is too high for him, but outside of that he should be near the top of the board. He's going to shoot up the boards before the draft rolls around.

[Braggins]

I still have Anthony Black 3rd overall (basically tied with Brandon Miller and Jarace Walker). The Thompson twins are likely frauds and I don't have them as lottery picks. I have only ranked out to like 17, but its also looking like Nick Smith Jr wont be in my top 20.

Whatever, here is my current board. Keep in mind there is still a lot of basketball left to play

1 ~ Victor Wembanyama
2 ~ Scoot Henderson
3 ~ Anthony Black
4 ~ Jarace Walker
5 ~ Brandon Miller
6 ~ Cam Whitmore
7 ~ GG Jackson
8 ~ Taylor Hendricks

I like Anthony Black so much for this team I'd be tempted to take him at 3 as well.

Hard to evaluate the Thompson twins in the league they play in, some good talent but they play undisciplined, unorganized basketball. Yeah, they're really good athletes but how do they perform in a real game playing against smart, disciplined professionals?

[Braggins]

A lot of people are going to end up underrating Black because his offensive volume numbers don't always pop in his box scores, but hes so good. You really have to watch him play to see how good he is. Arkansas has been decimated with injuries and hes the only offensive creator on a team with no 3pt shooting (bottom 30 in entire NCAA in 3pt attempts right now).

It didn't get a lot of buzz on here, but his last game was another really impressive one. He dominated on both ends with 18 points 8 assists and 5 steals.

Sux that Brazile went down. Games were even more fun then

I have zero problem with us taking Black. He is still high on my big board. If we draft any of those players I would be ok with. I am not as high on george as I was but I wouldn't hate his pick either

[UNCNYC]

I'm watching Eastern Michigan VS Toledo now on CBSSN ( Emoni Bates VS RayJ Dennis )

RayJ is such a sleeper PG

[UNCNYC]

You guys might want to tune into this game. Emoni Bates already has 20 pts with 6 left to go in the first half. RayJ and him are guarding each other going back and forth. Game is on right now on CBSSN

[UNCNYC]

Emoni Bates has 29 straight points at halftime. RayJ Dennis has 9 pts / 3 ass / 2 stl. Game is currently on CBSSN

I know he's older, but what do you think of Walker's chances to make a leap like OG or even Kawhi? Looks real fast with the ball.

[UNCNYC]

Great game. RayJ Dennis got cold but he is a stud at PG.

[UNCNYC]

Watching my TAR HEELS beat Syracuse. My Dad almost went there. Even tho I am a Tar Heel fan I feel kinda bad for the cuse cause I think they made a bad call against them at the end. I hate to win unfairly...

Side Note Judah Mintz is a warrior.

OG level doesn't seem unreasonable for him. I'll never expect anyone to make the Kawhi leap, but he does have a lot of things going for him. He shows flashes of being able to do so many things and has very good feel, but he seems content doing whatever his team needs. Definitely seems like a potential breakout guy at the next level.

I like that his floor basically seems like a bigger and more athletic version of PJ. I see him as a 4 who can guard 2-5 and play small ball 5.

one of the few teams that compete with us in draft failures

Wizards history of drafting & trading wings, let’s review!

#6 Vesely -> 28 games from 37-year-old Andre Miller

#3 Porter Jr. -> 25 games of Jabari Parker

#15 Oubre -> 1.5 years of Trevor Ariza

#15 Brown -> Daniel Gafford

#9 Rui -> Nunn and 2nds

#10 Johnny Davis TBD!

They're a lot worse than we are. Davis is currently averaging 1 point.

At least we draft quality bench players / starters most of the time.
