Trae is an offensive marvel minus the turnovers so A. Cam? I don't know yet.. so B- so far but Ith grade can improve obviously. Huerter isn't even better than Duncan Robinson yet. Hope he gets there but he hasn't made any progress. B- I would have to give Hunter a B- also since so much draft capital was used to acquire him. Sounds like you're Schlenk's #1 fan. Sorry I doubted you. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has an F with Spellman and we haven't talked about his 2nd round picks, undrafted free agent signings and trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly Superstar treatment. Does he have potential and skill? yes. Is he a Superstar? H-ll no! Dude. If Trae Young isn't a superstar with 30/9 as a point guard in his second season then the term superstar means nothing. I said I was wrong about Young about half way through December of his rookie season. That kid is a superstar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to re-create ... Tier 1: Ball Tier 2: Hayes, Avdija, Okongwu, Wiseman, Okoro Tier 3: Haliburton, Toppin, Edwards, Vassell, Maxey, Williams You have to be joking. We've seen what the Balls are in the NBA: a joke. All hype, no substance. And, you know, the most annoying AF basketball diva dad Satan ever spawned. As long as we don't draft Ball I'm happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact his own coach wouldn't even say that he deserved an invitation to try out for the Olympic team. Most super stars also would be at least 3rd team all NBA! Trae didn't even get considered!

I'd love to see some proof of this. I have literally heard nothing but glowing praise from Young from coaches and execs around the league. Even the ESPN "experts" that hate all things Atlanta love Young's game and swag. I'm not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion but unless this is one of those "only a superstar is the best player in the game" type of situations then I'm confused.

Has nothing to do with the dad, which appears to be clouding your assessment. The dad hasn't been in the media for a year and has clearly stepped out of the limelight. This is about Lamelo Ball, not Lavar. The only player with an elite skillset in this draft is Lamelo Ball as a playmaker. That's why he's in everybody's top tier. Aye @NBASupes, come at me bro.

I mean we're not going to draft him so I'm not really sweating it for the Hawks. I am terrified the Wolves get him and it is lesser Rubio 2.0 time in Minnesota.

He'd make the Twolves instantly better. He's not a perfect prospect though. Him being in the top tier is more a testament to how bad this draft is.
