ya know cuz like JT thor had lotta hype last season, out of nowhere, after being underrated for years...... for the first rd he ends up going #37th... how "good" a player is/was, is totally ****ing overrated, its a paramount reason why most mocks completely suck... Christian Wood's(who i was a big fan of in college n made many posts here about) success in the NBA is a testament to this...
how much "betteR" a player like JT thor was compared to the Kok Yat player i just posted, is completely irrelevant, but at the same time its actuallyu a veryh interesting comparison, because the element thats really key is TIME,, whats ognna happen in time, whats the 1 year 2 year 4 year outlook here,, whats the trajectory...
how good a player can be, or how much they can improve is far more relevant in most cases (with shooting guard being the leasst position like this, u gotta put up or shutup in that position, which is why players like Johnny Davis and Blake Wesely are going in the first rd, and why some SG always goes way higher than projected evbery year, cuz teams think they can plug them in to produce a la d mitchell...)
