JK is so good. Would've been #1 in his class no doubt if he hadn't reclassified. Too bad he joined the Cade Class. Unless Cade falls flat on his face and forgets how to play basketball, he's going to be the best player from this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Besides the high end talent I actually think this drafts OK. Like picks 20-60 might be better than average? Top 5-10 picks should be guys going 5-15 in a normal draft, but I think its got lots of nice role players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be the #1 pick in the 2021 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly haven't watched a lot of him yet because of the fact that he was supposed to be 2021 college class & 2022 NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's developing there but he shot a lot better and handled the ball a lot better during his Junior season than he did in AAU ball. He's a workhorse. I see a lot of Kawhi in his game. If there is a G-League season I think he is better suited for success this season than Jalen Green. He's like 6'8" 225 with a 7'0" wingspan and plus athleticism, dude is a tank.

NYRaider Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 I've watched Jalen Green a bunch and I think he's going to be a Zach LaVine type player in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a much different comparison though. Cunningham and Kuminga both have elite physical tools with the potential to be franchise players. I think those two are clearly the two best players in the class and would be the two best players in this class as well. I just see so much Kawhi in Kuminga's game.

I think he'll be an explosive scorer like LaVine that puts up a ton of highlight reel plays. I don't however, see him as a player that's going to be able to elevate a franchise.

YogiBiz Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 So I starting changing all my scouting stuff unto a google docs. It currently only has my new big board (I changed my style to a tier system over the traditional ranking system) and the Mock Draft (Both Rounds). Here you all go: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ESVJ-58J-1kwh709hU755iX8l6XWb8BiChzVYCbn7lQ/edit#gid=0 If you have any questions feel free to ask.

BleedTheClock Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Most underrated player in the class? I vote Isaac Okoro. He’s got the best individual skill set (on/off ball defense) out of anyone in this draft. Also really like Pokusevski and Wesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised to see you put Achiuwa in the boom or bust category. He’s at least going to be an excellent and versatile defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s at least going to be an excellent and versatile defender At worst he's a versatile defender with little to zero offensive game. I really like his game, and in the right situation he could be special, but in the wrong one he'll never be better than a bench big that can defend multiple positions. The swing from his good and bad is just too much for me to not place him in that category. I do like him a lot, and think he could turn into Siakam-Lite. But he's got a few years in the NBA before that hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
