[Handlogten's Heros]

I don't think I've seen Hawkins ranked higher than Dick anywhere?

I think both hawkins and Dick has slid a touch... I think it qualifies.

Lol I’m just kidding but we will count it.

The guards in this 6-15 range (Wallace, Bufkin, Black, JHS, George) will be much more productive in the NBA than the wings/forwards in the 6-15 range (Ausar, Hendricks, Walker, Dick, Miller).

 

[Eddie Zero]

Anthony Black will get drafted by Orlando at 6 ,and be so bad that he will rarely ever see the floor after they realize it, well at least until traded to a tanker needing a loser to drive it

 

[The Midnight]

Kobe Bufkin will end up having a better NBA career than Anthony Black.

Dude that aint a hot take smh

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Ausar Thompson will win the next All Star Slam Dunk Contest

Isn’t Amen the more explosive athlete?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Dariq Whitehead will be a top 8 guy in a redraft and 30 nba fan bases will say it was so obvious he was going to be good and can’t believe he fell to the 20s (or close to it). Whitehead is the Desmond Bane of this draft.

Maxwell Lewis will be named to the all rookie team

I definitely think he could be a sleeper who gets missed in the hype if others. His tape doesn’t jump out to me, but the Jazz did have him in for a workout. Still think I like Jaime Jaquez, Sidy Cissoko and GG Jackson better than Lewis though. If they’re all off the board at #28, then maybe I take him.

Honestly I like him a little more than the guys u mentioned.

Yeah. I know you’ve been a fan of his for awhile. I like him a lot actually, but I like the upside of those other three more. I’d be really happy with any of them tbh. Think all four guys could end up being super sleepers in the right environment.
