Also, what do we think of Frank Kaminsky with our 2nd pick?
Laughable tbh. Maybe our 2nd round pick. Dude is 7'1 and averages 6.4 RPG.
OH YES!!!!!

That's a big line-up and I think it could be very successful.
This has nothing to do with a HS ranking, this is us talking about a player who was already mostly done with their Freshman year and people thinking he was still worth a lottery pick.
Ya, lets just count on Wuggins to just randomly have once in a generation drive and killer instinct cuz like, hey, you never know n' stuff.

This is a common knock on him. There is some concern whether he wants it badly enough.
Jabari hasn't demonstrated a ton of that either.
Though those are my top two, Randle is the one that does have that.. his on court demeanor is badass.

You're like a 2 year old that thinks they can't be seen when they cover their eyes.
The point that went over your head is, whichever starting point you want to make it about with the Harrisons, lets say when they were "mostly done with their freshman year" - they were already riding the wave of hype/expectations that comes with being top-ranked at your position in HS. Ya can't deny that.
That distinction had already been made long ago, Dickie V was already screaming "their fantastic, their diaper dandies, their P-T-P'ers"... they we're left trying to fulfill unobtainable expectations, when you consider the actual talent involved. This is around the time that Tyler Ennis was supposed to be a 4 year starter at Syracuse, and people thought Zach LaVine was 6'3" and 155lbs..
Looking back; is the Harrison's story really that much different from Rasheed Suilamon? I dont think so, the main differences are the ones I've outlined in these surrounding paragraphs.
They weren't as quick as people thought, Is that really on them though? IMO thats much more on the people who evaluated them and held those beliefs to be true. Killing posters on this board for co-signing what those professionals were force-feeding people, is something that eludes me, I don't see the purpose.
To be clear; I'm saying, with the benefit of hindsight. The Harrisons achieved those lofty rankings, in part, due to a dearth of talent at the position, and then the masses ran with it, (Including me). If the HS services had realized it was to be a down year for PG's they could've still put the Harrisons as the top guards in the class and placed them in the teens, Instead they put them in the top-10, **** blew up out of proportion, and people ran with it for 2 years.....

This.
Most of us don't have time to watch tons of college basketball so we mostly trust what experts and other people who watch lots of college ball say.
Bumping threads to prove you were right or others were wrong is pretty dumb, childish, and insecure imo

I guess you may be right about A-train (I have no idea) but as for what the thread is for, I think it's more for discussing and learning about draft prospects.It's kind of what these threads are about and something A-Train/WC subscribes too. It's not like we are involving an innocent bystander.
