    No KPJ? Blasphemy. He’s only in his second week as a point god and he still hasn’t ever been coached

    Would love to see Tari there, but having 3 make the team is pretty good. Next year!

    One question: Which players were picked for last year's and this year's Rising stars?

    It seems JGreen,Sengun,Wagner,Mobley.,Hyland,Giddey,Barnes.

    Cade (injury),Suggs, Dosunmu, Kuminga,Herb Jones, Duarte, Davion Mitchell out.

    Add Cade to the first list and top 8 picks of 2021 draft is more or less clear now.

    Rising stars or rising scrubs?

    Green and Jabari are two of the worst players in the league. How did they qualify?

    No Eason? Thank you Silas for underplaying him. That sucks; he deserves to be there.

    Having 3 is becoming norm now. Last year Green+Sengun+Tate, this year Green+Sengun+Bari, next year Bari+Tari+23 pick.

    It's the Silas effect, as long as he coaches you it takes enormous effort to overcome his incompetence in order to be recognized for your own hard work and talent. I can only imagine how far along Sengun/Green would be right now if they had a competent coach. Heck, Jabari might be shooting over the 38.7% (30.1% from 3) he is currently shooting. Mind you, he was considered a sharpshooter coming in.

    Sengun's 3pt percentage declined in his first year also even Jeff Hornacek was there. Something strange happening out there.

    Pau gasol ,joakim noah,deron williams and jason terry for gleaguers i think there would be 4 teams but i am not sure. And if sengun,jabari would be at team deron than three players related to besiktas would be together.

    If Josh Christopher was there, would be 4 Besiktas related players then. Josh' brother Patrick played for BJK also.

    Congrats to Quentin Grimes

    most doubted he would even be drafted. He's now a full time starter on a playoff team

    I am not sure for max contracts.
    JGreen and Jabari makes 2.5 times more than Sengun and Tari. It might be quite different in new contracts. Would not surprise if Sengun and Tari sign to higher salaries than Green and Jabari.
