Poll: Scottie Barns v Jalen Suggs - the real 4th pick

Fultz is yesterday's news IMHO.

10 ppg is nothing to sneeze at I guess.

 

I wouldn't call him bust this early. But I don't expect him to reach star level. He still can have a solid NBA career.

It seems every year, there is a player from a strong college program (e.g. Duke, Gonzaga) that shines in the NCAA tourney and gets drafted high, and then turns out to be just an average NBA player.

 

There is nothing exceptional about him. Limited athleticism, limited vision, limited shooting, limited handles. He will be lucky to be a starter on a winning team. Career backup written all over him and that career may be pretty short.

 

Jordan Poole seems to be a star in the making in his 3rd year (?)

Never say never. haha

Shooting really is the problem.

 

lol he's actually distributing the ball well since he came back. I think he's going to produce closer to where he left off a couple of years ago than where he was as a Sixer. Orlando got an issue with their guards for sure; so many meh-to-high-potential guards but not one that looks to be great enough to build around. Hell they might just take Ivey with the 4th pick and make it a grand ole time in Orlando.

 

They should go big and go Shaquille or Dwight again.

 

The makeup of their team is funny; either it's a small guard that can't shoot or an oft-injured big

 

the hype about Suggs was over a bunch of intangible stuff u can’t even measure

“he’s a winner” and other stuff like that even tho Gonzaga was great the year before he arrived and had returned a majority of the roster

also, his athleticism was overrated because he was a 2 sport athlete

so far, he is the Mudiay of this draft…Mudiay’s athleticism and skills were also heavily overrated pre-draft…his athleticism was being compared to the likes of John Wall and D-Wade, and Larry Brown really talked him up

too early to write him off tho

 

Why’d he do Scottie like this? He’s just out there competing. Was he just supposed to let you have the ball your majesty? Scottie by all accounts is a good dude. I think his reaction verifies that.

 

Because LeBron's proven that he's a b****. This and the incident earlier in the season with Isaiah Stewart. Either he's always been a b**** or the role/entitlement is growing on him as he ages.

He'll probably either tweet some lameass apology or deflect it somehow in the next couple of days. Or he'll reach out to Barnes and try to get him to sign with Klutch.

 

Damn I voted no to this poll lol, how stupid do I look?! I had no idea who Barnes was tbh, he's arguably been the best player in the draft.

 

Mobley has by far been the best rookie this year. He's going to pretty easily win ROY

 

That statement is no longer true, both Barnes and Cade have been at his heels now. Mobley is going to win based on beginning of the year achievements, but at the end of the season it's very close.

 

no it's still true and he's still by far a massive favorite to win ROY as i said

 

Mobley is the definite favorite…his team is winning, and he has the stats and impact

Cade’s numbers are still being dragged down by his horrific start

Cade’s last 39 games he’s averaging 19, 6, and 6 on 43/36/85 shooting splits

solely based off their rookie years, I would put Mobley and Cade in their own tier, then Barnes, and then Green in the tier below Barnes because Green’s good play started late

 

Wagner was a much better pick for them

 

He may win ROY due to how far ahead of the pack he was early in the season, but Barnes has caught up to him. Their counting stats are about equal and advanced stats such as win shares and VORP favor Barnes. BPM is equal.

 

he's going to win ROY bc he's been the best rookie this year.
