DirtyDez Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Does anyone who fell out of the lottery last year (Anthony, Quickley or Achiuwa) go top-5 this year if they came back to school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not. I think you can make a strong case that Jalen Suggs, Evan Mobley, Jonathan Kuminga, Jalen Green, and Cade Cunningham would've went #1 last year.

Man how does Minnesota not borderline forfeit every game not to keep their pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're doing a decent job so far sitting with the worst record in the league at 7-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Getting to see some more film on guys, my NBA comparisons for the top 5 prospects in the class. Cade Cunningham: Brandon Roy Jonathan Kuminga: Kawhi Leonard / Pascal Siakam hybrid Jalen Green: Zach LaVine Evan Mobley: Chris Bosh / LaMarcus Aldridge hybrid Jalen Suggs: Jason Kidd / Chauncey Billups hybrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Also I know at a certain point the Knicks need to start winning and stop cycling through late top 10 picks every year, but man couldn't we suck for one more year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't look at his stats when judging his passing acumen. OkSt is absolute garbage and I think him having close to 4 APG is insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's more of a combo guard than a true point guard. Roy averaged 6 apg at his peak, about what I think Cunningham will put up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency is key. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Cunningham as a prospect but I'd take Kuminga over him all day every day. Cunningham is definitely very skilled but when I watch him play he just lacks a degree of explosiveness.

Will be interesting to see how it effects his draft stock, he only played 9 games his senior year of HS and 13 games at Duke. I'm not touching Jalen Johnson with a 10 foot pole if I'm an NBA team. Duke is now the 4th team he's quit on, including one he came crawling back to at the end of his HS career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
