NYRaider Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 That was my Ted Talk. I'd bet my life Jalen Green > Cade in the NBA. I was one of the only people that said Ingram > Simmons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 The Orlando Magic are reportedly very interested n Alperen Sengun at #8. For me he's one of the biggest boom/bust prospects in the class. If he can extend his shooting range and defend in space, I think he's somewhere in between Sabonis and Nurkic. If he can't I think he's Tyler Hansbrough. @KhanYouDigIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they came away with that, I would be happy. I think the only picks they make at 8 that I won’t be ok with is Kispert or Wagner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger murdock Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Dengue will get a lot of points / rebounds / blocks / steals / assists in the NbA the question is does his defense hold and does he do it within the flow of a game or does he need to be forced post ups. I believe in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGK Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Saw a comparison I liked for Green today. Said he often gets compared to big guards like Lavine because of his height, but play style is more like a 6'6 Ja Morant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lavine comparison is perfect IMO. Both are crazy athletic and both are 3 level scoring threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the Lavine comparison is fair, Green isn't nearly the playmaker that Morant was as a prospect but a way better 3 point shooter.
