Tetsujin Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 nbadraft.net has Patrick Williams and Devin Vassell with the same shooting rating, 8. If Williams is an 8, Vassell is a 10. Especially with his sky high, smooth release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 This years draft is doo doo but that 2021 class could be special. Jonathan Kuminga, Cade Cunningham, or Jalen Green would all go #1 if they were in this years class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Again, this class is pretty damn weak but after doing some more research some of the prospects that I'm becoming a fan of include: • Aaron Nesmith | GF | Vanderbilt • Killian Hayes | PG | France • Devin Vassell | GF | Florida State • Onyekak Okingwu | FC | USC • Jaden McDaniels | F | Washington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Yeah, it's a pretty crap class but there are some guys that could save it from being all-time bad. A few guys you didn't name, outside of the obvious (Anthony, Avdija, etc) that I personally like are; Desmond Bane | SG | TCU Saddiq Bey | F | Villanova Leandro Bolmaro | GF | Barcelona Kira Lewis Jr | PG | Alabama Paul Reed | PF | DePaul Grant Riller | G | Charleston Tyrell Terry | PG | Stanford Saying all that, I really dislike most of the bigs in this class. Really bad year to need them. Outside of OO, Wiseman, Reed, Tillie and Tillman, I don't like the rest of them. I thought I'd like Oturu but he's all stats, no substance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole's floor is 6th man lead scoring guard ala Jamal Crawford or Lou Williams but his ceiling is Damian Lillard or CJ McCollum. I'm taking that all day over most of the other players in the lottery, if not all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say his floor is more along the lines of an Austin Rivers like career trajectory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to get this **** out of their heads that when you mention someone alongside a prospect, it doesn't mean you think they are going to BE that player. It gets old. Also, Austin Rivers is ****. Cole Anthony can defend, unlike Rivers. If Cole Anthony is a career 9 ppg scorer, I'll stop posting about basketball. Rivers is one of the worst players in the sport tbqh. Edited July 21, 2020 by beekay414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on, he also looked like a pure PG with the Bucks. I don't know what happened after he left because his assist numbers fell off a cliff but I'm assuming he was asked to be a scoring guard. I'm not really sure who Cole's floor compares to playing style wise. Ceiling, he reminds me of a poor man's Dame, for sure. That's the absolute peak. Floor? The only way I can describe it is lead scoring guard off the bench. I want to compare him to guys like Crawford, Williams and Schroder but none of those guys are worth their salt on defense. I dunno. We'll see what happens. All I know is I'm taking the chance on him over some of these other lotto players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Jonathan Kuminga is going to be the next elite NBA talent. He's like a Kawhi Leonard/Pascal Siakam hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
