Hmmm... Kon stans tell me which games to check? I see he had a monster game in the ACC tournament quarterfinals against Georgia Tech where Flagg was injured and next 2 games he played without Flagg... so are those the ones I should prioritize?

Guys who can carry their team offensively while being the focal point of the defense have to be considered as players with "more than role player" potential. Tre did that quite a few times. It doesnt mean he can do it in the NBA, but at least he was able do it in college... and thus he deserves...

We are NOT in the business of throwing away young guys who have shown upside beyond their current production. Key is definitely one of those guys. Besides the only teams looking to make an offer for him would be teams who believe he has levels to reach. But that is the exact scenario where we...

Not quite what I meant. Our FO has their priorities and preferences and they need to be absolutely sure about the top of their big board. If they see 3-8 as "same tier" without preferences and cant project better than us about how they translate/develop then I'm gonna be real worried about our...

Only if you feel like any of those are better prospects than the concensus picks. Trades may happen that change the landscape but as it stands we pick 5th and the top priority is to project as accurately as we can up to that point.

I didnt know too much about this model so started working backwards. Skipped 2024 cause who tf knows.. 2023 looked rough and I couldnt continue after seeing his 2022 stat model placing Banchero 35th and JDub 59th. Some people have too much free time.

Just listing 5th picks. 2023 Ausar Thompson 2022 Jaden Ivey 2021 Jalen Suggs 2020 Isaac Okoro 2019 Darius Garland 2018 Trae Young 2017 De'Aaron Fox All of those were pretty flawed prospects. Half couldnt shoot and other half were undersized (some severely). Ivey may have been the best prospect...

I believe you will like Jakucionis. Not sure how you feel about Queen. He is kinda polarizing opinions.

I think the 5th best prospect in this draft (who could turn out to be someone like Danny Wolf at #15) could end up being as good as anyone drafted last year.

Oh damn thats an annoying apron penalty as it hurts the player by limiting his landing spots (thus impacting S&T contract value) as well as other teams without cap space who would like to go after him. Not sure I like that one. Too much collateral damage.

Im pretty much in the same place with him. Watching more VJ and Ace lately has made me sweat as I see the upside and start imagining the best case scenarios. I think Tre is taking money to bank, VJ is putting it all on black and Ace is putting it all on 7.

What does this mean? Counts for half for Warriors next years cap or?

Yes. Saying he is "less of a negative despite subbing for KAT who is a great offensive player" means just that. Well read.

Problem is he can shoot already. 85% FT on over 6 attempts and 36.4% on C&S 3s.. He just cant shoot from motion. His misses are also all over the place. From few lowlight/analysis videos Ive seen they were mostly right rim or back rim. Thats damn concerning.

No you are arguing that Robinson is a worse offensive liability based on your pedestrian common sense logic revolving around their scoring skills, yet Robinsons personal offensive rating is BETTER than both his teams or Hartensteins. Also for the full season he is less of a negative than...

Lol. Hartenstein has by far the worst net rating of those 3 despite his team having far superior rating. For instance Robinson is +8.6 in a team thats -0.4 while Hartenstein is +5.4 in a team thats +10.6.

Same story every year... either we use in shoes or w/o shoes metrics but we dont switch that from prospect to prospect. Ace at 6'10 has twice as much air in that number than Tre has when he is referred to as 6'6. Official combine w/o shoes heights are 6'7.50 and 6'4.75.

I specifically mentioned their similarities. VJ has the highest two-way potential of all the top prospects simply because he has high BBIQ, is a willing defender and possesses said athleticism. He is far from a lockdown defender but the only one of all top 5 guys I could see becoming one. I...

If we were in the business of making unrealistic high upside comps based on current NBA players I would say: VJ has shades of Ant (ridiculous explosiveness and over the rim athleticism paired with legit two-way upside). Ace has shades of Durant (size and shotmaking). Fears has shades of SGA...

The thing that concerns me about Fears.. is that he shoots great from standstill but dreadful from any kind of movement. Is he one of those guys who needs perfect balance and set feet to make shots at acceptable rate? I dont see how a guy who averages 85% from FT with 6.3 attempts "just needs to...
