Have Your Mind Changed On Who You Want?

I wasn't a fan of Marvin Bagley and Jeren Jackson Jr.

I was a fan of Luka Doncic and Mohamed Bamba. I now see them as strong role players.

My draft picks in order were...  Luka Doncvc, Michael Porter, and Bamba

Now order is Michael Porter, Jaren Jackson Jr and Bagley.

I believe Porter has the talent to be a Super Star with JJJ coming in to a close second.  Call me crazy but after watching video on some of his games JJJ reminds me of a (potential) KD style player. I know I'm going to get kill for saying that lol. 

So what about you all? Have any of your minds changed

The Porter-KD comp isnt crazy at all.  He's one of the view prospects who have offensive talent sufficient enough to build around.

I disagree withon JJJ, Bagley and Bamba.

I think Bamba is the next Giannis.

Absolutely. Bamba is now #2 on my board behind Ayton, before the lottery I probably had him #6. KB has soured me on JJJ, now I see nothing but role player in his future. Everytime I see his name I think Marvin. He'll be in the league a long time, but I'm not convinced his floor is as high as folks are claiming. He blocks a lot of shots, but he fouls a lot. Watching some film, I don't see greatness in him though a shift in his mentality could change things. Bagley I like, but we already have Collins and I'd rather draft a center. He could still end up the best player in the draft, he just has a long road to get there.

 

The only pick I haven't changed my opinion on is Bonga at #30 or #34. And that's because he's one of the biggest mysteries in the draft.

Just got this off Twitter:

 

Mo Bamba posted a 3.04 3/4 court sprint

 

Context: Would have T-1 at Combine, faster than Zhaire Smith & Lonnie Walker

 

Also faster than:?[emoji91]

 

Russell Westbrook: 3.08

D-Wade: 3.08

Harden: 3.13

John Wall: 3.14

Terry Rozier: 3.15

Kemba: 3.16

Oladipo: 3.25

Gobert: 3.57

 

I don't believe it's true, but if so... Supes was right all alongc45bd101797ffe9374d9022403292b42.jpg

Got-DAYUUUUUUM, if that’s true then it cements La Bamba with that 3rd pick for me. Faster than guards, 7’10 wingspan widest in history, good looking stroke, shot-blocking macheen, not foul prone, well spoken smart kid. La Bamba, J-Bap, Fresh Printz front court would be some shit for years and years.

I keep telling people, Giannis at center is his ceiling, take it as you may:

Back to OP: yup! Was hoping Doncic would be in play wherever Hawks pick ended up. Then I was all Bagley. Now I’m in the Mo Bamba camp.

I’ll be honest I started out faithful...had Doncic and Mikal..then they axed Bud and my mind got twisted..from spurs team ball player (Doncic n Mikal) to superstar name guy (Ayton Bagley)...

 

Right now if we stand pat:

1 Bagley

1A Bamba

 

If we trade down: #5-#8

Mikal Bridges 

Trae Young

I watched more college Basketball this year than in the last 8 years combined. I really want this draft to go well.

Damn good list. Don't sleep on Doncic. His PG abilities is as advanced as a young CP3.
