Is there anyone anywhere that doesn't think that Charlotte won't draft VJ if he is available? I tend not to believe rumors but this seems to be a universal sentiment

No one knows how the Charlotte GM operates because he's only made two moves and they were both catastrophic (the Salaun pick and trying to scam the Lakers with Mark Williams)
So a lot of stuff could happen here.
Charlotte is already invested in high-volume shooters Lamelo and Brandon Miller, which makes it less likely that it's a high priority to add another in Tre Johnson or Ace Bailey. However, if VJ is gone at #3, draftniks think Charlotte could take Tre or Knueppel.
There's also a funky rumor floating around that the Clippers are somehow going to trade for Lamelo this summer. So who knows...

We all have our efff ups but he knows what he’s talking about, plus I don’t think Cy thinks THT is good, just entertaining
I like that a lot more than, "Criticisms of me stem from the weakness of basketball cowards who I am better than and work harder than."
Ace's answers give me the ick bad.
I think it’s extra important to have self aware players who have the right attitude when you’re tanking. I like Ace, but he should really go to a team like PHI where there will be vets to humble him and teach him to play the right way. It’s just different when it’s PG and Embiid vs Mills and Eubanks. I think our tanking situation would let Ace settle into his bad habits.
Tre mentioned all the things the concerns I have with him. Could be lip service, but it is way better than “I’m right, you’re wrong”.
Assessing outcomes based on interview profiling is difficult. Player development based on mindset is such a tricky thing to project since even the draft results themselves may affect the mindset and thus influence the path (high picks may end up entitled while low picks may end up with a mindset that they have something to prove).
That being said I do join the chorus in liking that Tre interview. Whether he is honest or well trained to give good answers.. I dont have a freaking clue.

For everyone's viewing pleasure:
This article was linked describing a model to predict NBA 3P% based on NCAA 3P%, NCAA 3Pa/game, and NCAA FT%
The math of the model is thus: NBA 3P% = 0.168 + 0.004(NCAA 3PA/gm) + 0.209(NCAA 3P%) + 0.112(NCAA FT%)
To mess around with it a bit (and because I was curious) I plugged in some players from this draft as well as a few of our players (and others) and this is what came out:

It looks like this model is different than the tankathon one. Thanks for sharing.
If Ace falls to us cuz he doesn't have great interview etiquette I'm pleased

I think you have to take Ace there even if it is just to ship him elsewhere. The value is way too high. You can trade back for Kon or Fears level players.

Drafting at 4th there isn't much reason for him to throw out any smokescreen especially with top 2 already locked.

Always wondering who was ranked #1 ahead of Flagg. Was it Cam Booz or AJ?
