I agree with Barlowe that Holland just doesnt look like a #1 pick.

Isn't that the problem with this draft though? Who does look like a #1 pick?

Uhh… isn’t it reported that Holland is 6’8 with a 7’0 wingspan?

Not to the eye test.

Holland legit looks comparable to Bennedict Mathurin -- 6'6" / 205 lbs.

That's a good comparison

I know Holland was billed as a defensive player in HS, but I'm not seeing it. Not saying he is a bad defender. I dont know that yet, but I'm not seeing someone I would consider a defensive prospect.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

This looks like a pretty solid draft for lead guards with Collier, Topic, Wagner, Castle and Dual.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

This was a pretty good review of topic. There are some concerns about his shooting and his passing. His redeeming quality is his speed.

He is very young but been playing pro for a while. His age is probably his biggest asset. he mature and has the ability to grow.

Collier. just keep watching the dude. if he doesn't look like one to you now, he will win you over.

Collier. just keep watching the dude. if he doesn't look like one to you now, he will win you over.

I liked him and I know nothing other than a couple game clips. He looks solid but more of a Chancey Billups type to me. Totally guessing.

He looks strong but not super explosive with quickness or leaping ability. He gets where he wants to but there isn't enough separation to get me super hyped about him... yet.

The top of the draft seems to have some nice players but none that have me super hyped yet.

Collier. just keep watching the dude. if he doesn't look like one to you now, he will win you over.

He might not even be a top 3 PG in the class....

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I would be open to trading the #1 pick if someone really valued it.

he'll be the number 1 overall pick.

this is me on Collier also. I want to like him but he is a below the rim type of player.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

At this early stage, imo:
** Sarr should be the favorite to go #1.
** Collier is likely a top-5 guy.
** I think Topic should also be a top-5 guy.
** Walter looks like a top-6 or 7 guy.
** Garwey Dual's tools are worth betting on inside the top 8.
** Holland could fall out of the top 5. He just hasn't been impactful on either side of the ball.
** Edwards will probably go top 10 due to his physical profile, but he doesn't look that special.
** Risarcher should go top 6-10 due to his 3D and versatility as a complementary player.
** Topic and Dual have as much potential as anyone to be the most impactful players in this draft.

Nikola Topic's IQ, his ability to make quick reads, and his body control at ~6'5" look elite for an 18 y.o...or a 20 y.o. for that matter.

I think this is a better video on Topic.

The best player on Ignite

I have decided that this draft is as bad as advertised. So I guarantee we get a top 4 pick.

That would be awesome. This draft kicks ***.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'd almost rather have the 8th pick in this draft than the 1st.
