These are 3's taken from NBA range....imo, not really more meaningful than just looking at all their 3's. But do with it what you will.

This is where I have settled on him. I'm not sky-high on him, but what he allows you to do is a lot more exciting than what he himself necessarily does. I think there is a universe where he can switch across all positions, hits 40% from 3, and his defense/rebounding allows the Jazz to unleash Lauri at the 5 and legitimate (not gimmick) switch-everything scheme.
Yeah because Wemby and Bilal is the same as Hendricks and GG. Stop acting like a dumbass.
The Jazz need everything besides a Markkanen and a Kessler.
The most obtuse comp of the draft season happened when you said Anthony Black was like Scottie Barnes. Maybe have some humility.
Cool story. I at least dont pretend to know things I dont know. If I get information that makes me change my mind, I change my mind. I dont bury my head in the sand and act like anything to the contrary of my current belief is hearsay.

Its just funny to declare Bilal having xyz in his bag already and being able to add abc on top of it...
Okay now do the same with Taylor? Is he a 30 year old? He's going to be a good secondary rim protector that may be able to be a primary small ball rim protector... why do we try and invalidate that by saying 1.5 blks in non-conference...yada yada... while declaring Bilal awesome based on a few playoffs games?
Taylor shot the ball really well for a guy that can play as a big... why do we assume Bilal will as well?
Bilal is theoretical and has more unknown... does not necessarily equate to a higher ceiling. He's fine I like him... but its tough to be sickened at the thought of Taylor and in love with the mystery grab bag.

Whitmore, Wallace, Whitehead that DX mocked us yesterday.
I said a smaller better passing Scottie Barnes. By the way:
Since 2010 there has been only five 6’5+ Freshman college players who have averaged at least 10 PPG, 4 RPG, 4 APG, 1.5 SPG.
Anthony Black
Scottie Barnes
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Lonzo Ball
Ben Simmons
Honestly, I might prefer taking Bilal or Bufkin. Bilal is not everyone's taste, and I get that, but I think you could argue that Bufkin has the most star potential on the board at #9 if Hendricks is the one who falls.
I don't love the 4/5 fit with him and Lauri. I prefer someone with Jarace's body type and toughness, but Hendricks might get around that by putting on some more weight.
