Cade was the consensus #1 guy on everyone's board and went #1. Dating back to last summer everyone had Cade slotted #1. Never said they didn't my guy. Just stop lol.

Supersuavesky Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 6 hours ago, NYRaider said: The Hornets took the right approach to the draft swinging on guys with high upside that pair well with LaMelo. Kai/Thor are both raw but have high ceilings and Bouknight will be able to play in a 6th man type of role as a rookie then provide a cheap replacement for Rozier in year 2. Scottie Lewis is super raw but another guy with elite athleticism. Honestly, IIRC the Hornets have been criticized for taking proven, older college players without a ton of upside early in the draft for years. Interesting to see a complete shift over the last two years. Last four. Bridges was another high upside guy and Washington was a second year player coming off a major jump in production. The difference is the GM. Rich Cho was one of the worst ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade as a prospect > Luka as a prospect The Pistons weren't trading the pick for anything, 3 teams passed on Luka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 @TheRealMcCoy https://www.nbadraft.net/players/luka-doncic/ Quote NBA Comparison: Toni Kukoc/Hedo Turkoglu https://arizonasports.com/story/1529902/nba-draft-2018-luka-doncic-scouting-report/ Quote To me it is a no-brainer because Ayton is a man-child who is the only can’t-fail prospect in this draft.

Like I said Cade's draft stock benefited from Luka's success just like Ayton's draft stock benefited from Embiid's success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The idea of a big PG who uses strength over agility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
