Doesn’t have to be a lebron in this draft. D wade was in the same draft as lebron and won a title before him and Bron didn’t win one until he went and teamed up with him...so who cares if there’s not a “lebron or Durant” in this group

Hard work is a skill

They had no answer for him in that second half

I just don’t want Trae Young. Anybody else in the top 5 I’m good . I don’t want JJ if we’re picking at 2...I think that’s to high but if we walk away with him at the end of the day I’m not going to be upset

Good lord

Dukes defense got better bc they went strictly to a zone which had been working for them thru the season when they decided to use it but for some reason coach kept switching it up. They went zone and it’s worked. They even started pressing...actually watch the games before you try and talk about what’s going on

Wow...you really believe this?

So we would be tanking for Draymond Green? God the craziness in here never ceases to amaze me lol

I couldn’t care less about that honestly...means nothing once he’s in the league. BUT something I do care about is Butler getting hurt. I hate it for him as I would never wish injury on anyone but how far do you all think they drop in the standings? Bc we were looking at a pick in the 20s before....could they fall enough with him out to give us a pick in the teens (somewhere between like 17-19) maybe

No thank you

No thank you

I think he’s a tick better than Bosh. The athleticism is off the charts. Did you see the video of him doing the 360 between his legs in warmups...looked like he wasn’t even trying lol. And yes I know Bosh was a 20 & 10 guy before going to Miami I just think his impact could be a lil more on his teams because of his activity level. That type of stuff is contagious

Not trying to change your mind just trying to help you have a more accurate view of the players you’re talking about. You said Bagley isn’t really effective on offense outside of sets....that couldn’t be further from the truth. Most of his points come off of hustle and effort. He’s constantly moving off the ball as well. He gets the rest of his points iso’d at the top of the key and taking his guy off the dribble to the left...of he can’t take em to the left he spins back towards the middle and tries to find a way to drop step back to the left of he throws uo that lil hook in the lane. He gets a couple buckets per game from back door cuts and lobs from sets but that a very small % of his offense

Just asking but how many full duke games have you watched?

I like carter and if we could get him AFTER getting Bagley it another top player I’m all for it. He’s a banger, good footwork, decent shot but nothing great, excellent rebounder and good rim protector

Carter is not our best player, he’s a great player but he’s not as good as Bagley. Bagley has a great first step, good quickness, hustle is other worldly and I don’t care what anybody says hard work and hustle is a talent, he’s a good athlete, has a nose for the ball when it comes to rebounding, has good from shooting the ball, has good footwork, is improving on the defensive end of the floor, good passer out of the high post. He hasn’t slowed down in conference play we are just becoming more balanced so his shot attempts have gone down, others guys are stepping up and finding their game

Not saying you specifically called him that but it’s being tossed around. And I’m not saying he’s playing terribly I’m simply saying I don’t want us to pick him for the reasons I pointed out. Not that he’s a bad player but I don’t believe he’s what we need AT ALL.

He had been the last few games bc teams started pressuring him more and he’s been inefficient bc of it. Defenses will be much tougher in the league and I’m not confident in this Steph 2.0 thing. Steph and his impact are extremely rare. Just my opinion but I’m not interested...at all. Don’t want him.

Don’t want Trae at all. Horrible decision maker, can’t deal with pressure from defenses, usage right is dumb high so it inflated his stats, shoots crazy shots all night and just gets away with it bc the coach has just given him the greenest light ever, doesn’t play defense, I’m good. Keep him away from my team

Definitely won’t be a step back. Offensive line will be a lot better across the board. Dline is brining everybody back except Atkins while bringing in some crazy talent. Secondary will be much more talented but not as experienced but I think the effectiveness of the line will help them anyway. Now losing Roquan will hurt absolutely but the collective talent on defense will make up for that. And while carter and Bellamy are great players I truly feel like Walker will have a better season than anyone do them did next year. And the depth that we have to play on the other side will be more than enough. Anderson, Cox, Ojulari, Beal...they will be fine. And the receivers and TEs are mostly coming back while again adding better talent. Chubb and Michel will be missed but Swift, Zeus, Cook, Holyfield etc will definitely have the talent to make up for that and the line being better and having a more experienced qb will make it easier for them.

Would y’all stop with this state crap. Has nothing to do with anything. Two novice coaches took extremely good teams up against extremely good teams with legendary coaches. They’ll learn and be back

And somebody was talking about Bagley being all hype lol. Dude is an absolute monster

Terrible no, but some took time like Kobe, TMac etc

Has a great first step, is a good passer out of the high post, has decent skills on the block, good handle for a guy his size, jump shot looks good but could be improved with work (the mechanics are there tho), moves his feet well on defense allowing him to defend multiple positions, great understanding of the game and pace, extremely unselfish....add all of that to an extremely athletic, ridiculously active 6’11 frame and you’ve got a really good player with the potential to be great

I feel the same way, that pairing doesn’t sit well with me
