People think this is a 2 man draft with Jabari and Chet but the Rockets feel like its a 3 man draft. Thats why im hoping we get the worst record. At worst we are getting Adrian Griffin Jr. Same for Detroit. I am hoping for 1 of the four. Ivey and Davis or Murray aren't bad options either, but definitely not to the level of the top 4. Its a pretty solid draft for the lottery this year but not all focused on freshman for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred if Ivey ran point more. I am not sure he is a true 2 in the NBA and he has made some iffy decisions in the few games I have watched this year. You can definitely see the potential, but I like Griffin's upside a little better. Either way its a really solid top of the draft. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd still put Ivey over Griffin, but I don't really watch much NCAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) This is how I rank them Tier 1 Chet Jabari Tier 2 Banchero Ivey AJ Griffin Tier 3 Sharpe (if he declares. He is an unknown) Tier 4 Murray Duren (as much as I hate Memphis, I cant be bias. Duren is legit) Mathurin Johnny Davis Tier 5 The rest Edited March 16, 2022 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know very little about Sharpe but I know that most of the guards we had projected as top picks this year struggled mightily when facing better competition and have fallen down draft boards. Sharpe is rated as a prospect similar to Hardy, Bates, Brandon Boston, Cole Anthony, RJ Hampton etc which is a wide range of outcomes. Most bigs with similar ratings have been decent pros but the guards have been more up and down. I think knowing the growth of the others is enough for me to take them over the unknown of a really young SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsoxsuck05 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 What to make of Wembayama's statistical regression this year (in only 10 games tho)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxsuck05 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Does Chet have Anthony Davis upside? Both skinny guys with guard skills and alien blocking ability. AD more explosive and Chet the better shooter. Edited March 18, 2022 by redsoxsuck05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows that we (myself included) need to stop hyping guys who are 16-17 as locks to be stars. See also: Emoni Bates, the **** show that is currently Zion Williamson's situation. 1 hour ago, redsoxsuck05 said: Does Chet have Anthony Davis upside?

AD was a better athlete and had a way better frame conducive to adding weight. Chet's going to struggle with weight/strength for a long time.

People expecting him to be the 24 PPG scorer AD was are gonna be disappointed. I can see Chet peaking at 20 PPG with elite defense and passing ability.

DirtyDez Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 0% chance but Chet coming back without Timme would be awesome. His growing pains in the league are going to be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
