It's hard to overstate just how bad the Wizards are. Some of their guys have good numbers, but it's because someone has to get numbers. They're playing vets too!

Raptors are a weird team, but fun.

Key is making a big case for himself as someone to build with, but I’d also say that at my biggest concern going forward is overall defense. I trust Hardy to be able to scheme his way into an elite offense even without elite talent. We were pretty great even when we Conley, Beasley, KO etc. I...

I’m not a “draft for fit” kind of guy, but if Brown and Wilson are in the same tier…I’m taking Wilson.

Tbh there's probably 10 players on the Jazz roster who are worse than defenders than Nurk lol.

Nurk is currently 94th percentile in defensive xRAPM (stats and +/-) and 70th percentile in pure defensive RAPM (+/- only). Stats aren't gospel, but calling him a bottom 10 defender in the league is pretty ridiculous.

You could honestly take this the other way and say that because the incoming players have all been taught/encouraged to shoot, it is way less likely that they can't shoot because they haven't had good training. For example, a guy like Brook Lopez likely could have always been able to...

I haven't done the research myself, but I don't really see a reason to believe why we can suddenly develop shooting better (at the NBA level) than before. I think it's much more likely the case that the guys who can shoot get to play more and also that prospects coming in are better at shooting...

Things could change....but he's trending as a C prospect who doesn't get the rim, FT line, pass, or get stocks. Seems to have a nice middy and theoretical 3 point shot, but that's not enough for me. I've only watched highlights, but he doesn't look super athletic and is too much of a finesse...

Pretty early to do this, but I'm fading Chris Cenac already. Does not look like a top 10 prospect.

It is worth mentioning that Wilson is an older freshman. He is older than Ace.

I'm not sure about just assuming everyone is going to fine without a jumper, but Wilson moves extremely well and from what I saw he can handle too. He has some perimeter skills, just not 3 point shooting per say. Also, he just looks like a defensive superstar and that is worth a lot on it's own.

Nurk is a better defender than he's being given credit for here. His rebounding alone contributes a decent amount to defense.

I'm assuming they're still being cautionary with him even though he's available. Collier was available and in uniform two straight games before he actually played. WCJ on the other hand....never been on an injury report so that's a healthy scratch.
