resilient part 2 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-execs-poll-luka-doncic-top-young-talent-zion-williamson/ The list 1- Luka 2 - Tatum 3 - D Booker 4 - Ja Morant 5A- D Mitchell 5B - Bam Bam 7A- Zion 7B - J Murray 9A- B Simmons 9B - B Ingram 11A - J Brown 11B - D Fox 13 - KAT a few thoughts and surprises IMO.. Ja Morant over Mitch and Murray already? LOL at KAT way down at 13.. I am definitely biased, but O like J Brown over Ingram.. Zion at number 7.. didn't have a good season for sure, but people did say he was a "generational player" No Tray Young.. any Thoughts on this list?

amac Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Ja seems high, I’d say Zion should be bumped up to 4 Edited September 22, 2020 by amac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resilient part 2 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 For the record, I have ZERO NBA resume, and yet those Execs, many with huge NBA experience, and yet I feel I can do better them them concerning player evaluations.. But on Zions position, there is a lot to be concerned about.. This isn't a list based on If a player reaches his potential. You have to take the good and the bad together. Having said that, it is very reasonable to have concerns over Zion and his weight and injury potential. I would add, Love/passion for the game.. so many players came in shape after the shutdown all while Zion came in way out of shape. and he is what 20 years old.

mse326 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 whenever lists like this come out from "execs" I wonder how many of them are being truthful in their analysis. They have incentives to make players seem worse or better than they are in the thoughts of the industry depending on what they are trying to do.

champ11 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Trae is tough. I absolutely think he’s a genius. I also think he’s very tough to build around. I’m still probably taking him over a few of these guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he worked his *** off to get better at shooting. Everyone always saying that Bron doesn't have the killer instinct like Kobe and MJ but he does just has it in a different way. Simmons has none of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'll never forget being roasted for saying that I'd take Ingram #1 over Simmons and that he'd have a better career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
