Ahh..… i see … you’re from a different generation.
So are you. Just because you date a 12 year old doesn't make you one! You are closer to me in age than to the generation that uses hashtags. And besides, it's literally a member of my generation that invented the hashtag for use like this.
 
I went with Ace as I really liked him earlier in the season. I think he's the safest bet. We know he can defend and I think he'll be a solid scorer. He seems like a grounded guy as well.

The fact all three guys have a decent amount of votes is good - unless Ainge does something shocking one will be there at 5.

Grounded?

You must not have seen his latest combine interview… lol..

Ya I feel pretty good about the 5th pick at this point.

She’s 24 !!! Haha.. she does look like a highschooler though, but no not 12..

According to his interviews he has no weaknesses in his game and he doesnt actually take tough shots because he practices all of them (ala THT).

Either he is cocky or pretending to be cocky to display extreme confidence... but he definitely isnt grounded.

She'll tell you whatever she needs to so you'll buy her stuff. You haven't wondered why her "roommates" are your age, and they just happen to be a couple and the older female looks like an older version of her? And her bed is covered in hello Kitty throw pillows.

Eh, could be both.

Or, option 3, he 18 years old. If I were 18 and set to make millions of dollars (and had probably banked a couple million previously,) I would have been unsufferable if you put a mike in front of my face. Probably still would have been unsufferable dirt poor as I was. Guy is a teenager.
 
I don't think David Locke would be crowing about Ace if that were the case. He'd be trying to sell the Jazz fans on Fears, Knueppel or someone else. There are a few tweakers out there that think the Jazz would take Demin in the top 10.
David Locke does not know what the Jazz are thinking at this point - he MIGHT near draft day but who knows.
 
I have a hard time going big on either of the guys from Rutgers based upon how the team did this year. Any team with two top 5 or even top 10 picks should be mowing people down. Maybe they are both the real deal but something does not add up.
 
Tre is a future Tyrese Maxey.

Not elite athleticism, but a fighter, an elite scorer and shotmaker.

Interesting comp. Maxey only 6 foot 2 and Tre 6 foot 6.
Maxey averaged 26 points and 6 assists per game last season. If Tre ever averages those numbers then I would think that he was a pretty successful draft pick. Maxey also had low turnovers and 1.8 steals per game.
I hope we draft Tre and he becomes as good as Maxey.

Ya I have had a hard time wrapping my head around this as well.

I’m not sure you want the player you pick at #5 to be super grounded and humble. We’re swinging for a star here. Overconfidence is probably a needed quality at this point.

Rutgers got boned in the transfer portal. they literally had 2 really good freshmen and a bunch of JUCO level players. All of their actual decent players bailed for whatever reason. BYU got Malwot Mag from this, so it worked out. . .
 
I was originally on VJ > Johnson/Bailey, and maybe I will return by the end of the cycle. Im glad he measured a legit 6'4 w/o shoes.

Good to know. Still seems crazy that in a sport where one player can have a huge impact that a team with 2 top 5 nba draft picks would be so bad. I guess that is where their extreme youth has a big effect as well. They are top 5 picks as much for what they project to be than what they actually were last season.
