    I'm wondering now if all the trade rumors are coming from below us then. Might make sense.

    Cavs want to trade Sexton and the OKC have a bunch of disposable valuable picks, might take a ton to move up that much for them.

    Maybe Detroit wants to go into a LONG rebuild or isn't that interested in any of the top 5 guys if they trade with OKC.

    You're obsessed with Mobley.

    You need to take a break.

    Not even gonna comment on Bouknight over Green. The guy has Quentin Grimes at #88 and Sandro Mamukelashvili at like #29

    Cant help but think his Dallas bias is showing towards a possible Houston pick and why he's trashing the guy whom they are believed to be taking at 2. Most obscene mock of talent i've seen in this cycle.

    This guy is a clown. Just to humor him I watched some tape on Bouknight and he’s not even in the same league as Green when it comes to athleticism. He’s also 1.5 years older as well. I did find it interesting that even with the significantly less athleticism he was able to score easily on Mobley.

    I like Mamu also and I think he deserves a look in the 1st round.

    So now Green has a more refined offensive game than Lavine?

    And Oladipo was faster and more explosive than Beal as well, so what.

    Green is a better athlete than Edwards?

    I agree he is more skilled but come on.

    LOL

    Just couldn't help yourself at the end could you?

    You realize that Porter has less vertical pop than Jalen Green but Porter scored on him with ease right?

    All this Ant vs. Jalen talk, and I saw the following video from a year ago. Jalen's improved since this, but even here you can see how explosive that first step is. Of course Ant got around and bullied him, too.

    Great find. This also makes me less concerned about his height. If you pause the video at 3:30 and again at 3:31, Jalen’s shoulders and the top of his head are clearly higher and they’re standing side by side.

    He's an interesting player worth draft consideration, but I don't think he's 60 something spots better than Grimes.

    I fear the worst for Anthony Edward ending up playing for the Timber Wolves.

    Who is saying he isn't?

    He mentioned he was in his interview with Mike Schmitz. And it wasn't bragging, just talking about plays, what other NBA players are doing and how can use their moves. He played against Ant a lot in high school apparently, and is faster.
