    LMAO...1st it was he’s Wiggins, RJ Barrett, or Shaun Livingston, and u somehow managed to top all those dumb comparisons by mentioning Adam Morrison

    I’m sorry, but your post is so dumb it’s not even worth a serious response

    Suggs got a dose what the nba looks like, and it didn't go well. So did Grimes. You have to look at that and understand that he's not going to get any bigger or faster, and the leadership intangible was squashed. So he may be ok, but he was washed out by next level play last night.

    I thought Suggs looked great last night. They didn't win but his passing, shooting, driving to the basket, and defense was good. The rest of his team did nothing. Really happy for Baylor.

    He got in early foul trouble, was limited in minutes and was pretty poor when the game mattered and they were trying to cut into the lead.

    Draft is looking pretty meh to me. Not going to lose sleep if we don't keep our pick.

    Suggs to me looked fine last night. I've seen guys in blowouts look completely disinterested or drunk or "concussed" ....Suggs made some plays, hit some shots...looked engaged the whole time.

    I still like him. Not sure if I'd take him over Cade though.

    Doesn't rebound, can't defend bigs or guards, doesn't stretch the floor, and he's slow as hell.

    His only above average skill is scoring in the paint. Maybe he develops a 3 ball, and maybe his passing advances, but I don't see him going earlier than mid-late second round, if he gets drafted at all. Definitely not a first round pick for me.

    I don’t know what y’all are talking about. Suggs looked solid last night. Not his fault his team was overmatched.

    Suggs is the last of the group. He’s nice but nothing pops.

    Mobley is skilled and tall. Cunningham is skilled and tall(for a pg).

    green is Uber explosive, athletic and skilled. Just a hooper.


    Kuminnga is really good size for a sf, athletic, and really young


    I wouldn’t be upset with Suggs but I definitely favor Cunningham, Mobley and Green more

    I question your scouting abilities if you even need to think between him him and Cade. Cade is clearly the superior prospect

    Cade is the only one on his team who would’ve started at Gonzaga...only 2 or 3 guys at Oklahoma State including Cade would’ve even had a chance to get minutes on that team

    I just have to laugh at the people who were saying Cade isn’t a winner for improving Oklahoma State from 18-14 to 21-9, but Suggs is a winner for going to a team that went 31-2 the previous season and returned most of the roster...funny logic

    I have believed for most of the year that Suggs is a top flight robin rather than a batman. There is no shame in that. I just think that Cade, Mobley, Kuminga and Green are all more likely to be franchise players or #1 options. If the Rockets end up with Suggs then Wood had better get those ankles double wrapped and KPJ needs to improve that shot. One if them is going to need to be the man.

    Watched some more Cade tape. Reminds me a lot of Brandon Roy.

    I'm not a scout so some person questioning my scouting abilities on a MB is ok with me.
