@@imapotatofulI dunno I'm kinda 50 50 on this draft at this point some solid guys a lot of dudes who can be decent contributers in the right context and some guys with interesting upside/potential but their is no one in the draft imo that screams superstar
I forget where I heard it but there's speculation that Atlanta has more of a backlog of players at the 4/5 that he wants to play where as he's clear pathed to be that dude in his preferred positions in Washington. And that improves his odds of showing he's a max caliber player.
As a Georgian Hawks fan who lives near DC, Alex Sarr's destination should be a win for me regardless. Drafted by ATL, good for my home team. Drafted by Washington, I actually get to watch him play.
100% agree. I don't think there's necessarily a ton of all-nba or even consistent all-star potential with this draft, but there's a lot of guys here who I think have a pretty high ceiling, while also having a pretty high floor. The fact that teams can be picking in the 15s and 20s and still basically be guaranteed a solid starter/roleplayer, doesn't sound like much of a week draft to me!
Agreed while there might not that be many all star level or all nba players. This draft has a lot of good players and I won’t be shocked if a lot of these guys have solid and good careers
You know, the way you’ve always broke down the game especially when talking about specific moments of a game or actions performed by certain players would apply tremendously to scouting players. Your quick synopsis of Reed Sheppard was a lot more accurate and insightful than the ones given by a lot of other people who have been posting content about him throughout the entire draft cycle. Would definitely watch you breaking down each individual prospect if you choose to do so
Probably because he wants to play right away he not going to get many minutes with Okongwu most likely starting at the five (whenever they trade or get rid of Capela) and Johnson at the four
Get ready for a shocker, I think the Hawks will take Donovan Clingan with the 1st overall pick, I think Clint Capela will be moved, to where and for whom, I'm note sure. I think Clingan will be an upgrade over what they have at center, and Clingan will provide size and rim protection. I just don't see a world (where DeAndre Hunter, AJ Griffin, Jalen Johnson and Risacher on the same team, unless Hunter gets moved. This draft is messed up, first Sarr and now Risacher . I'll be lucky if I get any of my picks right in this mock draft I created today. 1) Atlanta- Clingan 2) Washington- Sarr 3) Houston (via BKN)- Risacher 4) San Antonio- Reed Sheppard 5) Detroit- Buzelis 6) Charlotte- Castle 7) Portland- Knecht 8) San Antonio (via TOR)- Rob Dillingham 9) Memphis- Ron Holland 10) Utah - Devin Carter 11) Chicago- Tidjane Salaun 12) Oklahoma City (via Hou)- Cody Williams 13) Sacramento- Tristan Da Silva 14) Portland (via GSW)- Kel'El Ware 15) Miami- Nikola Topic 16) Philadelphia- Jared McCain 17) LA Lakers- Zach Edey 18) Orlando- Kyle Filipowski 19) Toronto (via IND) - Isaiah Collier 20) Cleveland- Yves Missi 21`)New Orleans (via MIL)- Carlton Carrington- 22) Phoenix- Tyler Kolek 23) Milwaukee (via NOP)- JaKobe Walter 24) New York (via DAL)- Johnny Furphy 25) New York- Ryan Dunn 26) Washington (via LAC)- Jaylon Tyson 27) Minnesota- Bob Klintman 28) Denver- DaRon Holmes 29) Utah (via OKC)- Baylor Scheierman 30) Boston- Kevin McCullar this I think is the hardest draft to predict, and guessing who will go where and how each player will pan out is a crap shoot. Clingan could be Walker Kessler, or Steven Adams like, or possibly Alex Len.
i think it’s very fun having like 2/3rds of the lottery probably being lanky wings who can shoot and play d. lot of guys could pop out and surprise people this year
When is the last time a player threw enough of a hissy fit to get traded when they got drafted by a team they didn't want to go to? Pretty sure Steve Francis was the most recent one and that was a long time ago now.
I’m really struggling to understand mainstream draft coverage this year. How are Rissacher and Sarr the guys mocked first out of everybody? It feels like ESPN just picked names to fixate on and won’t drastically deviate no matter how mid Rissacher’s film is
@@edw1n2dillingham and shepherd are too uncertain and would need to have their scoring abilities translate very well for them to be seen as prospects on the level of sarr and risacher, I think the ceilings of those two are significantly higher than the other prospects and that’s why they’re ranked where they are
@@russjordan6186 i think if anything will translate for Dillingham besides the athleticism, it will be his scoring. I haven't seen anyone better in this class at creating space and shooting off the dribble. I think he may legitimately have the highest ceiling in the draft aside from Sarr due to his insane athleticism and off dribble shot creation. With Sheppard, size is the sole concern. He's a flamethrower and has constant and effective off-ball movement and is a wildly effective defensive playmaker. With Sarr, I think he has one of the highest ceilings, but lowest floors. He's very contact averse and got bullied in the NBL while being unable to carve out a role where he could earn more than 14 or so minutes a game. I also can't unsee the disgusting things Aron Baynes and other bigs did to him in the NBL. Sarr is like a more defensively adequate James Wiseman. Crazy high ceiling, but when are they going to learn how to catch the ball? With Risacher, he lacks any semblance of shot creation and has only just recently been hitting 3s consistently, on a low sample size. I like his competitiveness, but outside of his shot, which may not be real given the small sample of him shooting well, he doesn't display any particular skills that stand out. He's just decent at several facets.
I'm French and I've been following Sarr and Risacher pretty closely for the last 2 years, and Salaün too since he joined Cholet Basket main roster. If you have any questions about them feel free to ask (:
People don't understand how good Topic is I watched he's whole season on Crvena Zvezda/Mega he's a beast unfortunately didn't get much time in euroleague because Crvena Zvezda were still playing for the playoffs so they didn't risk bringing him in too much and then the injury but still the passes my god he's only at 20 out of 100 he could be
I love the fact you didn’t talk about bronny James the whole video like these idiots on these sports shows getting paid millions to do so. Keep it up man been a fan for 6 years!
so if these sarr reports are true wtf is his camp thinking? somebody gotta be in his ear or they just want him on a team with no other stars. crazy most guys just want the opportunity to get drafted here we got guys saying don't draft me🤷🏿
Why these people always throwing Murray name up to be traded when he's better than Trae... & Most ppl tried of seeing that logo shot it's only leading to run out & Trae really don't have no moves.
Can we not give the C’s another versatile player. Half their bench would get major minutes on any other team but get max 10 bc of the starters. Can’t have them be more unstoppable
I feel like with the way basketball has progressed saying that it's a weak draft is disingenuous. I believe the bottom end talent on every college roster has probably markedly improved in the last 10 years. So the average player in this draft is probably the better than the average player of a draft 10 years ago. That being said, the top end talent isn't as extreme as it was. Maybe the last few drafts but the average star role player is probably still here like usual.
Anybody else consume an insanely high level of NBA games and content, and absolutely ZERO college basketball? I can't be the only one on this category of people who knows legitimately NOTHING about college hoops. Makes the draft entirely into a goodie bag of 'what the fuck'
Here’s my only take on this draft: Donovan Clingan’s absolute best possible case scenario is Clint Capela. He will never be an all star. Yes I am still salty about Purdue losing in the national championship game
Trae is only causing the team to loss.. a high 30 usage rate and with only a 20 per.. not good.. why.. the defense, turnovers, and misses. Trade him for anything at this point.

Let's see why Trae is in the middle of this...
Because the hawks have the first pick
Here’s my only take on this draft: Donovan Clingan’s absolute best possible case scenario is Clint Capela. He will never be an all star. Yes I am still salty about Purdue losing in the national championship game
P.S. Zach Edey is my father and he will be the best player in NBA history no cap

teams should genuinely look at you as a potential scout on their staff
Nothing against him but just because he makes youtube videos doesn't mean he should be a scout
Coubaly is the new Bruno coboclo 😂
Why last year was terrible as well
Edey>Clingan
Curse of the second round pick will be strong with Sarr if he end up in Washington
