    All the players are drafted on potential

    Kuminga will have a better career than your boy Scottie Barnes

    Book it!

    LOL

    We will see.

    I did caution you that Kuminga was falling and Barnes was rising.

    Yes, because scouts are dumb.

    No way Scottie Barnes should go before Kuminga

    Raptors will be lucky to get John Henson NBA numbers before it's all
    said and done. The Draymond passing aspect only works if teams
    fear Barnes putting it on the ground and dribble drive. Barnes will never
    be Dray in that aspect.

    Scottie blocks and rebounding were pedestrian in college. Not sure those pedestrian
    numbers will get better at the greatest level (NBA). But you can hope.

    Its likely they’ll both be really good ;). Which is why no one was able to trade up in the draft any earlier than the 10th pick -the top of this class is solid and deep. I’m still on a high from the rockets trading up to 16 to get Sengun, who probably should have been a top 10 pick.

    In other news.



    Summer League practice jerseys have been:
    Jalen Green #0
    Sengun #28
    Josh Christopher #9

    [sorry...move topic to Summer League thread]

    *side note: if Sengun is 6'10".....Green is 6'8" all of a sudden

    It's so hilarious how many people here are hung up on height. Like genuinely get riled up over an inch, like that makes any real difference to anything.

    What does this do the value of their draft picks?

    Yeah, I don't understand why there are so many people freaking out on Twitter and stuff. This doesn't change anything. Brooklyn's window is still 2-3 years, like it always was. KD is just securing himself another bag because he can.

    I’m telling you these kids still have 4-5 years of possible growth. I saw some report that KPJ was looking bigger and taller as well

    That’s why we should package Tate while his All rookie team is still fresh. His 6’5 ass isn’t going to cut it at SF or PF on a winning team. We should package him with Wall as a sweetener

    I kind of figured he’d keep doing the 1+ 1 deals.
