Also, while I believe in definitely believe in Tre's shot....shooting is not one of the things that is easily translatable to the NBA. I believe in his shooting because of the degree of difficult of his shots and the versatility of his jumper, but just knowing history we have to acknowledge that...

I didn't listen either, but I would add that his issue is magnified by the team he plays for. Like out of all the teams in the NBA, PHX is easily one of the worst fits in the league. They have Booker and Durant to create offense. You can't really have three guys who want to play that way. He's...

Tre's lack of rim pressure and lack of FT's is just so alarming. Same goes for Ace, btw. He's a great jump shooter, but it is an incredibly tough living to be a scorer in the NBA strictly from pullup jump shots. Tre is also the "his team so bad" prospect this year, and honestly that has become...

They’re in a decent spot imo. Maybe not to win the championship anytime soon, but I think they are well on their way to being a good East team who wins a lot of games. Trae is the oldest guy out of their top 5, and this is only his age 26 season. I think it’s reasonable to expect them to move...

Cole Anthony legacy game

I think it’s a near certainty we would take Flagg, Harper, and Ace at 1, 2, or 3. At 4, VJ is my guy for the moment. At 5, I’m opening up to the idea that it may not be Tre. Kas, Fears, and Kon would be the other guys I’d consider there.

Book would be the high end outcome comparison for Tre….but chances are he’s not going to be that good. And that’s not supposed to come off as a criticism, I don’t think there should be an expectation for anyone after 2 to be a star player. There will be players that hit, but I would bet against...

Even though we're months away from the draft, I'd say it's more likely we take Ace at #2 than we pass on him at #3. His greatest draft hits were Tatum and Brown. Still think he takes Harper at #2, but he famously called his shot with Tatum over Fultz and Ball who were the clear #1 and #2 in that...

After focusing in on VJ, Ace, and Tre....I am opening myself back up to Kas. I think Tre and VJ are similar level of prospects, but I like VJ's archetype much more. Tre is a great shooter, pretty underwhelming prospect otherwise. The low 2FG% and low FTr is a bad combo to have and leads me to...

Yeah 100% not his fault, but now I think people media members mostly copy him in an attempt to be lazy and/or not look dumb when the votes come out. Anyways, I think Collier and Flip are at similar point right now....but Flip has been better over the course of the season. Collier was...

Yeah, that seems like extreme revisionist history. Especially because I know certain people were glazing Conley saying he was the reason why Lauri got good. Cough....Cy. But the real reason the trade should have been made beforehand was to start the tank earlier. We salvaged the tank by...

Nothing close to the GOAT Monty Williams. Didn't he get $70M to sit around? He was playing Killian Hayes to ensure he could get fired and go home lol.

Uh...like most analogies on this forum I find that to be not relevant at all....Anyways, it's very simple. We acknowledge that bad things can happen. The Lakers getting Luka is one of the most extreme bad outcomes for our pick that could be possible. I think you're being hysterical if you think...

One thing I will say about Ace….he really is one of the best shot makers to come out of college and that includes the elite of the elite prospects. Guys like Ingram, Tatum, etc were lauded for their shot making ability and that translate to the NBA, but Ace is in like another world on converting...

The Jazz were in a better position the day after the trade and before it, that still stands true. Had they not made the trade they did, TH would not be here. The failure was not doing it in the preseason. They waited until the last second and got burnt. Once it became deadline time, the Jazz had...

Eh, you may have had a lower opinion of the pick at the time, but it's certainly lower now that they have Luka instead of AD and nobody could have seen that coming. Of course the Lakers could have pulled themselves out of something, but Luka is different. It wouldn't need to be a top 10 pick for...

Been listening through the individual interviews now, and the only thing of interest is that Lauri pretty much said he's ok with another year of tanking.

I dont't even care our about Conley going to MIN. That was LAL's decision anyways. People cry about that for no reason. But simply on pick value, our second this year and second next year is probably similar value to one Laker first. It is 2020 hindsight to know they would have Luka of course...

Listened to Zanik and Hardy, nothing too interesting or eye opening. Answers were what you'd expect.
