2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Stats don't matter all that much when you play your Freshman year at 17/18 years old on one of the worst P5 teams. It's more about how easily he is able to create the looks.

It does matter how much a shot goes in, and the ability to create those shot is absolutely related to that garbage performance. If it was so easy for him to get those off, he should make more of them. Reality is that he can't get them off so easily but shoots them anyways. What's the alternative, he can get them off but he is just horrific at making them? Furthermore, if you're going to say it doesn't matter how much it goes in....why is there an assumption that it will be good?

Producing **** offense is not a plus IMO. You may say it's not a huge negative....but that's the only thing GG's draft case is built upon. He has a mountain to climb to be average on offense....but even if it comes around he also has more mountains to climb to be a functional NBA player. There are really great offensive players and scorers who still can't be starters in the NBA because the rest of their game is not good enough.

You are really out of touch when it comes to watching prospects. You think Amari Bailey is somehow a poor man's Anthony Black.

Imagine calling someone out of touch when you literally use make believe argument points. You literally have an opinion on Amari Bailey due to made up information and you can't deny that you don't. Instead of owning up to it, you doubled down and tried to lecture me on the fake made up information. Not once have you explained why they are so different without using completely fake information.

When you say I am out of touch, it makes me feel more confident about my position because my opinion is formed on real things and not things that I decide to make up for the sake of argument.

You need to get your eyes checked bud.
 
That's kinda the point. If GG wants to play for the Jazz, or really an NBA team, he has to be a completely different player.
Oh, wow, really? A draft prospect is going to have to modify their game to fit the NBA? That's crazy.
 
You need to start using real information and stop trying to lecture people on the made up information. Funny part about this is that you can't even deny it. Receipts are there.
Why would I deny being right? I watch games bud. If you watch Anthony Black operate on a basketball court and then watch Amari Bailey and come to the conclusion that they are comparable I really can't argue with you because you are wearing drunk glasses while watching basketball or something.
