Well I guess I have to give up my crown as #1 Hawkins guy now if someone is saying this.

Jacquez really starting to shoot the 3 better. Up to 34% on the year and 38% in conference play. Shot looks pretty clean.

Think Cissoko going to be a top 20 guy. When I re-do my next board (end of conference tourneys) I will probably boost him ahead of guys like Rupert/Jackson/Howard/Sensaubaugh and potentially Hawkins.

Duke's development and coaching is a little better than Memphis or So Carolina.

They made the tournament last year as well, did any of the NBA guys that went there increase their stock? No.
Have you heard of James Wiseman?

James Wiseman played 3 games at Memphis buddy during the covid year, lol. Are you really going to defend Memphis player development right now?
How well did Penny Hardaway prepare him for the pros? The Warriors literally just gave him away...
1 and dones arent being developed. They are showcasing, especially when you choose to go to a school a non-major conference or to a team that is very low on talent.
Wiseman put up 3 huge game for Memphis. He would have had an amazing year if the NCAA didnt crack down on him. He was good enough to be showcased.
GG/Bates arent good enough to be showcased even though they wanted to be those guys. They need development, but they chose to be showcased.

"Conversations with scouts on the road have indicated a profound lack of enthusiasm for basically any player outside the top two in this year's draft," John Hollinger of The Athletic reported. "I'm not even sure the vibes I'm getting could be called lukewarm; I'll optimistically call them lukecold."

Emoni averaged 16 ppg, 3 rpg, 3 apg on 57% FG/50% 3FG. Memphis biggest issue was that their older guys didn't like Duren/Bates and Penny was insistent on trying to play Bates as a PG.
Wiseman went high in the draft for the same reason guys like Exum and Kanter did.

Could've sworn he was on our g-league team already
This is laugh out loud stupid.
How far a can we climb if we package our pick and T’Wolves?
Similar to what Dallas did to get Doncic?
It’s Miller or Keyonte or bust for me this year.

They dont want to give away "their guy". Top two is obvious, but who do you like at #3, #4 etc are the cards they dont want to show yet.
I don't get it...why before was this thought of as a deep draft? Is it mainly the abundance of wings and nothing else? I put stock into what the scouts are saying but how could this disconnect happen?
Yep. Everything about his game screams solid role player to me. He has also done a good job of adding good weight over the last year and could probably add another 15 pounds pretty easy if his future is at the 3 spot.
