resilient part 2 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I hate the Lakers no doubt, but they do play hard and Luke is coaching them up IMO. if Kuzman doesn't make 1st team rookie, it will be political. (barring injuries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinneasGage Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Just now, CWood21 said: Admittedly, it's largely based on highlights. And nobody is doubting his potential and upside. It's as much as anyone in the draft. But it's upside. He's done nothing that would really push his grade up higher than it was during the draft. I really don't believe he was a top 3 prospect for you pre-draft. 100% he was. i posted rankings back on the old forum somewhere and had numerous debates about him, mitchell, tatum, frank being better than the rap they were getting & jackson/lonzo/collins/etc. being not as good that most folks could probably attest to that post regularly on here. i just don't agree w/ your rationale at all man. that it's just "upside." i feel like we've already had this debate though on players that get that "pure upside" label. and no, he hasn't done anything to push his stock higher... i know it's "largely based on highlights" because if you had the chance to catch a couple games I think you'd understand the magnitude to which he affects games & the offensive flashes he shows. i don't wanna make this a fan hyping a guy that's on the team he cheers for because it always sounds ridiculous and homeristic (fake word?). so in this case it sucks he's on the team i root for lol. but yeah, no i didn't just conjure up this high opinion of him after ORL drafted him.

11sanchez11 Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 ^I'm guessing you guys are talking about Isaac? I would have a probably taken him 3 or 4 in the draft at the time, he is who I wanted the Suns to pick and after the first handful of games I would definitely 3 or 4.

RIIIGHT outside. my feelings really haven't changed that much since pre-draft. he's obviously one of the big exceptions. 1) Markelle Fultz 2) Jayson Tatum 3) Jonathan Isaac 4) Donovan Mitchell 5) De'Aaron Fox 6) Frank Ntilikina 7) Lauri Markkanen 8) Dennis Smith Jr. 9) OG Anunoby 10) Josh Jackson would go Fultz, Tatum, Fox, Isaac, DSJ, Josh Jackson, Markkanen, not sure after that. Haven't paid attention to a second of Frank's game ever but supposedly playing good D and sucking offensively. Every time I watch Mitchell he is just chucking and missing most of the time.

Team Mitchell & Team Smart til death tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I loved both Leaf and Kuzma pre draft. They were 2 of the 4 or 5 guys I wanted Toronto to draft. I'm happy with OG though. I see we Are we ready for our three week All Rookie team discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I can't remember my rankings I did have Ball 1 and Jackson 2 then likely Fultz and Tatum and Fox to round out my top 5. I'll stand by that for now. Also loving Frankie for the Knicks so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Lonzo definitely going top 10. That's blasphemous not to have him there. But this is good looking draft. Going to look even better in a year or so when Jackson starts to shine and Fultz gets his shoulder right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I only caught the Dubs game from the mid 3rd quarter yesterday but Durant started 0-8 and still finished 50% from the field? Unreal...... Kerr not playing Bell for those couple of games was criminal. McCaw is in the rotation now to which is good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
