I’m legit shocked. That Duke team looked like they could beat the current Cavs team.
RJ Barrett is very overrated.
Cav's would destroy Duke, and I disagree that RJ is overrated. He has been inefficient, but he is asked to do more creating off the dribble to get his shot than Reddish and Williamson. RJ has a lot of work and improvement to do, but his ceiling is extremely high.
I always chuckle when people say a college team can beat a pro team in any sport.

I think RJ deserves the hype, he will become something real special with time, right now seems a bit faster than the ball, needs to pace his game a bit better, it will come with time for sure.
Zion is to me a player like Bron and Kobe impact wise eventually. A highest level tier one talent. He should get the ball more, get his usage up, just a real deal beast with skills and such explosiveness, Duke need to go to him more if you ask me.
I'd be hard pressed as a hypothetical GM to not take De'Andre Hunter as high as #3 in this draft. That kid is going to help a team win a lot of games even if there'll be 1-2 young guys drafted after him who end up better. _________________ Under New Management

Yup. Big time net effect guy. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Like watching a stronger Caris LeVert. He has to be lottery.
Exactly my comp. I'd love it if NBA GMs undervalued him and he fell to the 20s, but I expect he'll be the next late lotto guy who outperforms his draft slot. _________________ Under New Management

Sags Konate with a nice game for West Virginia today....26 Points, 10 Rebounds and 2 Assists (5 of 8 from 3). Esa Ahmad finally showed up with a career high 30 points.
Tennessee with two thicc boi Bonzie Colson All-Stars in Grant Williams and Admiral Schoefield makes my heart go pitter-patter. I want those dudes paired up as Lakers - buy a 2019 2nd for Schoefield and then draft Williams with their 2020 2nd. _________________ Under New Management

He's getting the same playtypes now. I haven't had a chance to see him in transition. LeVert fell because of injury issues, but I always felt he had lottery physical talent and skills. Culver, OTOH, I can imagine going earlier because he's the prototype of defensive wing + strength/potentially switchable. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

His numbers are trending upward on only one minute more play.
That shooting looks legit especially as he's sustained his 80% FT from last season.
Bad news is that he might play himself out of our draft range.

IDK....not really up to speed in this draft yet....but someone is free to correct me if I am wrong....but his limited height will still keep him in the 2nd Round or deep in the 1st I would assume. I am just not sure @ 6'8" (if that) he could ever be a legit NBA starter for long term.
wow, just looked up his numbers and he is shooting 45% from 3 on 4 attempts per game....not bad at all. He has always had a soft shooting touch and a solid free throw shooter....really good feet for a guy his size from his soccer background.

wow....personally, I would stay away from him....I feel like everything he does well, he could do just as well if he was 6'5"...like I do not really see the benefit in his height. It is cool to see him so tall and be able to dribble down the court and pull up.....but couldn't he get the same shots if he was much shorter? He seems to be a mess on defense to me.....his only move/benefit he offers on defense is standing near the rim with his hands up, because every time I see him try to defend a person, it does not go well.

Vanderbilt's 5 Star Freshman PG Darius Garland who was considered a possible 1 and done has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. He has been listed in the lottery of many mock drafts this year.
