Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I'm convinced: This draft is going to be trash if you don't get the 1st pick

Maybe there are some good 3&D role players, but holy hell there arent any "cant miss" high upside picks outside Zion.

Zion could be a once in a life-time type player, but after that, I just don't know.

I still like Barrett, but he also has a lot of Wiggins to his game without the elite athletic ability. He's probably a starter, but I'm not sure he's a good one.

The last two drafts provided the next generation of stars. This draft will probably supply the next generation of Jeff Greens.

yeah, barrett has a lot of wiggins to him. and i love zion. he just has that star quality besides the freakish size/athleticism. but even with him, shooting is a concern. not that he can't overcome to still be great (like Ben Simmons) it or improve it, but it is a major flaw.

I'm really not that concerned about Zion. I think he will be an All-Star. The question (for me) is if he's like a HOF type player.

I'm shocked that people here aren't fawning over the idea of Darius Garland running point. What kills me is remembering all the hype for Trey Burke... This kid is way ****ing better than Burke ever was, already.

used to always say Burke got tons of extra hype because of the national player of the year campaign and the silence on Garland here to me further reinforces that point..




If Utah is looking to catch lightning in a bottle, this is the target. I've been posting about Garland for many, many years, and i'm gonna be right.. first noticed him checking in on Marvin Bagley at Peach Jam summers ago when he was 5'7" (never seen a kid that size/age who could shoot better than Garland....) now he's 6'2" or 6'3".

For the remainder of this thread I'm gonna continue to be here talking big **** about Garland, because the chances he backs it up are extremely high..

Look at the mechanics of Garland's shot.. Look at how insanely quick his release is, this would be a big deal for the halfcourt offense, he's a major space-eater.... I believe there's minor traces of Steph Curry in his game..

Ricky Rubio is a nobody compared to Garland the way I see it. Garland is capable of efficiency Rubio can only dream about.

Garland is both high ceiling and high floor, which is ideally what Utah needs from this pick.

Garland, I believe, is the best player to play HS basketball in Tennessee since Shawn Marion.

Iowa State is impressive. Haliburton is probably their best NBA prospect followed by Shayok, Weiler-Babb and Wigginton. But they play smart, can shoot it and have some depth.

Zion was really impressive today vs Clemson. He showed the entire arsenal. 25 and 10 on 9-11 FGs. He's just so good. Barrett was less selfish than i remember seeing him all year - for once wasn't unwatchable. And it's crazy how bad Reddish sucks at college basketball. He is the reason one and done is a good thing - if he doesn't play college ball, he might have been a top 5-8 pick in the draft. and he sucks. sucks at pretty much every aspect of playing basketball at the college level. it's not just piss poor shooting, but he has so many negative plays out there.

Reddish and Grimes are probably the two most disappointing highly touted freshmen i've seen. Though to Grimes credit he has made himself useful by playing smart and being a hustle guy. He's a smart and skilled passer, he hustles and he's a decent spot up 3pt shooter. Doesn't try to do more than he's capable. But dude isn't an NBA player and probably never will be.

Iowa State pumps out more fringe NBA players than any other school.

I'd have Horton-Tucker as ISU's 1/2 prospect with Haliburton right now, clearly ahead of the other 3. Great feel and defensive versatility (6'4 240 will do that for you).
 
Shamorie Ponds - super quick, rapidly improving jump shooter, solid citizen. 3 year college player.

Size might be an issue but you can do a lot worse in the second round.

I think this reason that Dl should use this draft pick to bring in a player.
