The NBA should send this man a gift! I’m probably going to tune in for the draft thanks almost exclusively to his content. I appreciate and enjoy what you’re building🙏🏼
As a UCLA fan and for Bona the athleticism was never the problem he just needs to play smarter, stop fouling (the fouls are crazy and mind boggling), and develop some more post moves (a bit too predictable rn)
How does Jonathan Mogbo’s ball handle compare to someone like Draymond Green as a prospect? Both upper-classmen likely taken in the 2nd round, both undersized with strong rebounding numbers, both possess above average length and mobility for a big man, and they have highly comparable assist numbers. Obvious differences however, Draymond had an outside shot developed by the time he entered the draft, Draymond played well in the Big10 under Izzo, and-of course-Draymond is the far more accomplished bare knuckle brawler/submission artist/ testicle targeting kick boxer/chest trampolinist/slapper.
Though Tyler Smith is a little small for a center, especially paired with zion who's 6'6, I think the Pelicans could take a chance on him to fix the zion - frontcourt shooting problem
yes and no imo the thing is their height was measured without shoes from what i get is that the height of a player is with shoes so him being 6'9 means that hes technacly 6'10.25 (steph is 6'2 but they have him at 6'3 listed cause shoes add 1.25 inches) scouts did say though that he needs to bulk up to be able to play the C but lets not forget that sarr is litteraly the same weight even though hes nearly 3 inches taller
I know that sometimes he's listed as a 3-4, but i think he's a 4-5 especially now, where you don't necessarily need a 7'1 brusing center like the 90s and he can space the floor
Like... when it comes to Tyler Smith he is a classic he is talented but does talent work hard? For all his measureables and talent level he should be a lottery pick. I feel the reason why he is not is because maybe he has motor or motivation issues? Idk I haven't seen any reports but you see some of that in the way he plays. He makes me think of Christian Wood when he came out and he kept falling and went undrafted and then he had to go overseas to change his attitude to better his career. He might be one of those guys. I feel Daron Holmes might go top 20 before he does and I love Holmes game way more than Smith like if he wasn't 21 he would easily be a lottery pick. I like every other sleeper you got though! My two personal faves who I think will be steals and create an odd niche for themselves is Trentyn Flowers and AJ Johnson those two got some skills and if they land on the right team watch out! Also I have a specific love for Dillon Jones from Weber State he is an acquired taste but I love his game! Imagine a guy who plays like Josh Hart during the playoffs but all the time? Dillon Jones is like an everything guard/forward he is willing to hustle and rebound just has a dog mentality. Would love to see him on the Knicks!
as a denver fan i want tyler smith so bad or carrington but mfs have him as high as 14 for some reason if we were to get him please ffs trade naji and reggie and maybe even watson for a true 6th man cause the nr28 ranked bench is not it!
As a Nuggets fan, Carrington is definitely outside of our range. Tyler Smith I would say is very obtainable at 28 though, but my top pick would be DaRon Holmes II. If he's not available which is very possible tbh, I would go next best available player as long as that player isn't a PG. So like Tyler Smith or Kyle Filipowski. Kyle is another big that can help out the bench. He's not a rim protecting big, but is very versatile offensively which can definitely help with the bench scoring and organize the bench unit. Basically, he's like a Jokic lite. For wings, I really like Terrence Shannon Jr. and Jaylon Tyson. Both are good options even though we already have Braun, Pwat, and Strawther in the pipeline. Getting another scoring SG/SF wouldn't hurt if he's a 2-way player who can maybe even handle the ball at times similar to Bruce Brown. In the 2nd round, I would go for Enrique Freeman or N'Faly Dante if we didn't draft a big in the 1st round.

FINALLY TREY ALEXANDER LOVE!!
My biggest sleepers from this draft are Dillon Jones, Ajay Mitchell, Adem Bona, Enrique Freeman, and KJ Simpson.
My sleepers are:
Bub Carrington
Daron Holmes II
Jared McCain
Those are not sleepers. They all are highly viewed by teams
Those aren’t sleepers 😂
Another JustBallin dub. So glad you brought this back! Keep up the good work and consistency!
the matt and adem bona romance continues
my sleepers are Dadiet, Djurisic, Trey Alexander and Mogbo
my sleeper is bobi klintman i think his playmaking ability gets overlooked and i like the mechanic on his shot. might be my swedish bias tho😅😂
Would love if the warriors trade up to the early to mid second round for adem bona. Gp2 (my goat) could be a great mentor as well as Dray
Nfaly Dante does like 90% of what bona does only knock is health.

Jalen Tyson could be a stud tbh

tyler smith is a 4 who can play the 3 and 5 a bit. don’t see him playing center too much in the league
I know that sometimes he's listed as a 3-4, but i think he's a 4-5 especially now, where you don't necessarily need a 7'1 brusing center like the 90s and he can space the floor
Trey Alexander
Tristen Newton is so underrated His game is perfect for the NBA
disappointed to not see Ja'Kobe Walter. dude is a stud
