Best, most highly touted prospect we have had in the last 20 years? Yes. By far.
Best player we have drafted in the last 20 years? Who knows. He has a LONG way to go to prove himself. Spida and Rudy take the cake followed by Deron. But we have had a lot of misses over the years. But I am...
Summer league is going to be fun!
Also, we dont need Ace to be a polished player in 2025. We want him to start to be good by 2026 when we add 1 more prospect. We have time to develop him.
The NOP gave up an unprotected 1st in 2026 to move up 10 spots to select Queen. He had better be the ROY or it wasn't worth it because they were the 2nd worst record in the West last year and Jordan Poole / Fears arent going to make them better than CJ McCollum.
I would trade Lauri to the...
I love the commentary about Baileys work ethic and being a gym rat. Hardy shouldn't have to push hard. Just push the right buttons to channel that energy towards efficiency.
I am so stoked on the Ace Bailey selection. Is he perfect? Not even close. But he oozes with potential in a way none of our draft picks have ever had in 30 years of watching the draft.
Spida is the next closest guy that I was jazzed about.
For us old farts... the Jazz took Deron Williams over Chris Paul because Deron came in a suit and Chris Paul didnt really want to be here. Bad basketball decision. And at the end of the day, Deron diva'd his way out of Utah anyways.
You pick the BPA everything and that is just what we did.
Who is the toughest player in the 3 - 9 group? Maluach? VJ? Tre? Bailey? Fears is tough like an ant? Kon? I dont know that I believe any of those guys are the definition of TOUGH.
My pick is CMB. Having said that, no one has picked Queen so I will represent the more feminine side of the board even if I am a dude.
Derrick "Laqueef" Queen is going to shock the world and be the guy yall missed on. Last year I went with the Kel'El Burrito Ware who did just fine given his...
I just dont see it. Tre is one dimensional, yeah, but if that's your argument for going for Fears then it is the same against Tre.
Tre shoots.
Fears dribbles.
I prefer shooting really well to dribbling really well. ESPECIALLY in a Hardy system where we value ball movement to setup good...
Not sure what this is supposed to mean but is Lauri to the Kings a thing? The kings hold all of their picks and I am down to collect 4 Kings picks because that's what Bane went for. They can keep Keegan Murray for all I care.
Devin Carter for the 21st? Devin Carter and a future pick for...
Ace, Vj, or Tre for me. If we trade down an unprotected 2026 pick is a must. I am starting to crush on Ace. I won't get fired and I think he is the consensus top 3 basketball player. Don't complicate it folks.
Fears Weaknesses on the video included:
Poor ast/tov and poor decision making...
Low FG% in particularly from 3
Finishing... which is just dumb since his best skill is getting from A to B on the court but that doesn't matter if you cant finish...
Defensive liability that can only guard 1...
I didn't see it with Cody last year. At least with Cody I saw the Archtype.
I don't see it with Fears this year. Feels like a stretch to me that he is a bad Archtype, a reach at the 5, and the lack of shooting + the lack of any other skills make me think he will be BAD this season. I think...
