His highlights are better than Hayes. But no one ever looks good in Euro highlights for some reason. Luka's highlights werent that remarkable either.

Sometimes there are different perspectives from different generations of basketball fans.

If you don't mind me asking, how old is your dad?

Warriors aren't taking Wiseman. That isn't their type of player. They probably want to trade back and get Deni.

I guess it'll be cheap, he wont have much of a market.

Jeff? Sentimental attachment aside, He didn't look too good with us, I'd rather get someone else.

NFL teams engage heavily in pre-draft disinformation. NBA teams usually don't bother leaking obviously bullshit to reporters. NBA is some what more congenial than the NFL. But I guess Golden State in on mission, so many different laughable reports have emerged.

Kerr still has a soft spot for 'Zona.

Three years left and pricey. To get the #21? No thanks.

Lewis Jr is the one I like.

Imagine if we were stuck with Dallas's #18 this year, and Dallas had a top 5 pick last year. That would have been an absolute disaster. Maybe fireable for Schlenk.

He's had a great NBA career, probably make the hall of fame. But it's honestly very hard to predict who will be great. Very few players become truly great, so people always doubt players coming in the draft, because odds are they wont become great. It's much easier to say "he's overrated" than to say "he's a future superstar."

If they are good enough they will get sponsored, but if not it can be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.

You run a 4.5 Supes? Sure you do. No one ever exaggerates their 40 times.

It is true that high school scouting certainly favors early bloomers. Football too, Aaron Rogers was only 5'10 his senior year and had to go the JUCO route.

Killian Hayes vs. Tyrese Halliburton. Who you got?

What's your big board for this draft?

So take Ramsey with a late 1st?

All star games are not how to judge players. There's a lot politics, seniority stuff with that.

I dont think there is any debate that Trae will put up elite numbers, that is basically a settled question.

Seth Greenberg said Antman's film looks more like an athlete than a basketball player. I tend to agree. He has a long way to go in terms of knowing how to play the game. I use the Dennis Schröder comparison, Dennis was terrible his rookie year but had undeniable athletic talents. Now, I would draft Antman, but if you are trading for him, it's hard to justify selling the farm for such a raw prospect. Luka, who is about as pro ready a prospect as you will ever find, only got us a protected 1st in a trade. Although that was #3 to #5, not #1 to #6.

The statistics I quoted include the entire metropolitan population.

Dallas metro area is not as black at Atlanta, no question. But coming in at #9 in US metropolitan black population is a strong number. Salt Lake City or Denver with their very low black populations are not good comparisons.

These are verifiable statistics.

Wrong. Dallas is a top 10 black market, one of biggest black populations with a million strong, with more black people than Los Angeles or Baltimore.
