there are some similarities, but the one thing that gives black a higher ceiling is that he is definitely a plus vertical athlete.

No

I think black has a ceiling. And for me, I don’t think it’s championship level. He should be a solid pro though. Just would not take him first pick or even second personally

Although these players are not in the current draft, my prescient comparisons of NBA players with great philosophers could influence Daniel Ainge this summer. So:
Comparisons
Michael Jordan and myself: GOATs.
Wilt Chamberlain and Socrates: Both dead.
Kyrie Irving and Plato: Both believed thy earth is flat.
Hot Rod Hundley and Martin Heidegger: Both could drink you under the table.

Outside of Vic give me Scoot Henderson, Brandon Miller, or Jarace Walker. Would also be cool with a Thompson twin but their lack of shooting scares me.

we are not getting any of them though smh
we will be looking at prospects like Hawkins,Black,Hendricks,Howard,Ware,and maybe one higher tier prospect that fell out of the top 10 like the 2nd Thompson or maybe GG.

I’m kind of interested to see how Keyonte George or Cason Wallace would fit on the Jazz.

yup. this has become a 4 man (3 different tiers in that top 4) draft at the top for me. but imo, those are the clear cut top 4 at this point.

yeah but polyhedra w/ side of equal length that fit together without gaps are cubes. So technically, Plato was right and Irving was left right afterall in a round about way HA

I would love for us to get high enough for Keyonte, but guessing not, and if that high opt for the wing that is a harder archtype to get later.

Plato is too much a rationalist from my perspective. But Irving: e-gads! The statements that proliferate from his mouth defy both empiricism and rationalism. He exemplifies the worst of inflationary metaphysics and medieval superstition.
