NYRaider Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 It's never too early to start, right? We'll use this thread to discuss prospects for the next 362+ days. It's not a great class but I do like Anthony Edwards, Cole Anthony, James Wiseman, Isaiah Stewart and a few other prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 A lot of people are projecting Melo Ball as a top 5-10 pick, but I just don't see it at all. He's not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DalCowboyzRule Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Not sure we'll have another 1st round pick but it wouldn't surprise me if Jahmius Ramsey was that dude. Straight bulldog. 2 other guys who could get drafted are Virginia Tech transfer F Chris Clarke and G Kyler Edwards. Edwards has a lot to work on but he might be our best shooter and if he takes a Culver-like leap... Clarke is a 6'6" combo forward who can handle the ball, defend and rebound. He reminds me of Jae Crowder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a stud and would be an excellent fit with Ja/JJJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 15, 2019 Author Share Posted July 15, 2019 LaMelo Ball has been putting on a show in the Drew League. It'll be interesting to see where he's selected next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a much better shooter than Lonzo was at this stage in their careers. I don't think he's going to be amazing, but I would be shocked if he flamed out of the league.

He shot 34% from 3 at Spire, 27% from 3 in the JBA, and 25% from 3 when he played in Europe for a season. He can’t shoot. I’d compare him to a MCW/Austin Rivers hybrid. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2018/06/30/lamelo-ball-horrid-3-point-range-junior-basketball-association/747900002/ He had a stretch in the JBA where he missed 16 threes in a row and was 3-32 from deep in like 5 or 6 games. ETA: Lonzo shot 45% from 3 during his senior season and 41% from 3 at UCLA. Edited July 15, 2019 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be a jealous hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-ALL-DAY Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 LaMelo doesn't suck. Is he flawed? Sure, but he's also super young and hasn't even turned 17 years old yet. His vision and passing for his age is pretty damn spectacular. This guy is going to be a lottery pick in next year's draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youngest brother is a fairly decent player. Middle brother is the one who's hot garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
