I think Poku has more upside, I mean you can make a case that he has as much, if not more, upside than anyone in this draft class. I'd take Poku personally but I like McDaniels too, both are low floor, high ceiling prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I saw someone say LaMelo Ball is like a 6'7" Ricky Rubio that can't defend or a 6'7" Trae Young that can't shoot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm really starting to like Killian Hayes as a prospect. I think he can be D'Angelo Russell with more defensive upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like a shorter, unathletic Ben Simmons who can't defend or shoot, but shoots anyway. Lmao there's no apt comparison for LaMelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he may fall further than a lot are expecting cause it could very well be a situation where the media is much higher on him then teams are.

It's not what I would do, it's what I think Minnesota's going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11sanchez11 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) My guess what will happen, based on almost nothing: Twolves - Lamelo Warriors - Edwards Hornets - Wiseman Bulls - Deni Cavs - OO Hawks - Hali Pistons - Killian Knicks - Obi Wizards - Okoro Suns - Vassell Spurs - Poku Kings - Tyler Bey Pellies - Nesmith Celtics - Josh Green What I would do: Twolves - Killian Warriors - OO Hornets - Antman Bulls - Lamelo Cavs - Deni Hawks - Hali Pistons - Okoro Knicks - Obi Wizards - Wiseman Suns - Vassell Spurs - Poku Kings - Patrick Williams Pellies - Cole Celtics - Bey forgot wiseman Edited August 24, 2020 by 11sanchez11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Killian or LaMelo are a good fit with Russell because they're both going to need the ball in their hands to be successful. I also can't really see the Warriors taking Edwards. He's a baller stopper and anti Warriors in terms of what they like to do offensively. I think they'll end up trading that pick along with Wiggins for a more established player. It's not a sexy pick at all but the Timberwolves should take Okongwu. He compliments KAT well and would do wonders for their defense. If they're really trying to build around D'Angelo Russell and KAT they're going to need some plus defenders in the lineup, OO can be that for them.

You'd think the NBA front offices are privy to better scouting and info than we are, but there are a lot of stupid franchises out there. SAC, NYK, CHA just off the top of my head.

The Hornets have one of the least talented rosters in the league. Drafting LaMelo, even if he is likely to bust, would be a shot in the arm for them and get people excited about the team.

And I personally don't think he's good enough to make a decision on the #1 pick over. Killian is good on defense, shoud help on that end eventually. Tho they also have Culver and Malik so idk. Was a tossup for me between OO and Killian for #1. OO might be a better pick. 24 minutes ago, NYRaider said: I also can't really see the Warriors taking Edwards.
