OFFICIAL NBA 2018 NBA Draft & Rookie Thread: NT SL Represent!

[osh kosh bosh]

Ayton thinks he's Porzingis or something. He needs to chill with the jumpshots.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

How tall is Trae Young really?

I'm not buying he's 6'2....but he makes some really high level reads. And his mix of handle, speed and shooting ability/range are very intriguing.

measured 6'2 in shoes at teams USA camp but his tiny 6'2 wings span, and super short standing reach makes play smaller than his 6'2 height would suggest.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah. He's always looked super small to me. Frail too. Part of me sees Tyus Jones....there's something more there though. Dare I say "curry-ish" . More Seth than Steph

The inevitable comparisons will come this year though. I expect Trae Young to have a big year numbers wise.

Have always thought of young as a tyus jones caliber NBA prospect, watched his possessions from last night, nothing changed. He's more shifty I'll give him that

Ayton thinks he's Porzingis or something. He needs to chill with the jumpshots.

No he doesn't need to chill. Where he's at now, it can only improve. Hell be able to score from anywhere on the floor in 3 years

 

[B Sox]

I feel like you're legit in love with this kid

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Duh. He's got next

 

[Moheezy]

Vincent Van Goat just out of curiosity, what team do you root for? Are they in the running for a top pick?

I noticed outlook on prospects this year is so different than past years because I know the Sixers are competing for a playoff spot.

also, this year's prospects seem to be very top heavy, as in Ayton, Luka, Porter and maybe Bagley could have competed for the #1 pick in 2017 and it would not have been a unanimous decision on Fultz.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Addicts says bamba is the one

Between all these prospects we are in for a renaissance

I don't root for any specific team I just like to see flourishing

 

[Moheezy]

It's crazy how there was a bit of a big man drought between the mid/late 2000's until AD was drafted. Now big men are coming back with a vengeance. Fluid, athletic and some with guard skills. It says a lot about the development of these kids at a younger age.

[Vincent Van Goat]

changed my mind, I'm on that wavy diet

My hornets
My bulls
My pelicans
My mavs
My pistons
My grizzlies
My wolves
My both Los Angeles teams
My Sonics
My suns
My kings

 

[wavycrocket]

All the way in on D'Marcus Simonds



GSU....we got another one . #GoStateOrGoHome

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Good lil story

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

addict4sneakers Bamba has freaky length, he should be exceptional defensively. Can't wait to see he, Ayton and Bagley do work this year, we're in a special time

 

[wavycrocket]

Somebody said NBA skill set...in a mid major body . Accurate as hell.

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’m letting some games pile up before I start making real evaluations. Obviously Doncic is nice. I really like Bamba.

But yeah Trey Young has poverty level athleticism. Duval reminds me of Elfrid Payton but I’m not married to that comparison

Too early for scorching hot takes.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I was distraught seeing bagleys injury I hope he's doing better

 

[gaiiige]

mo bamba is my guy this draft

 

[youngthundercat]

It's just scary. Look at how he tracks the outlet pass at 1:30 as he's in a full sprint and back pedals to catch it. That's ridiculous

Do not like

 

[youngthundercat]

Deadass I watched it like 3 times just to make sure I wasn't trippin . It's even funnier because he didn't even catch it clean

Homeboy fumbled the hell outta the ball.

Looking like another laker miss.

 

[youngthundercat]

Duh. He's got next

Next what Bruh?


Dude raw as hell. He looks like a straight project.
