If not Flagg or Harper…

Bailey has made it to #3 on my board. I hate his tunnel vision, but you gotta be intrigued by his other attributes.

A great big fat dose of misery

I’m starting to be a fan of Edgecomb. I’m not so sure he isn’t the second best player in the draft. If we slip to 4 I’ll be disappointed but hopeful. I believe in Edgecomb.

Give me Ace all day long. Still go back and forth on him vs. Harper for #2. At this point I see three tiers:

Coop Dogg

Harper 2a
Bailey 2b

Everyone else. 4 is where it gets interesting.

I’m leaning Edgecombe over Ace at this moment.

I think he has SGA potential.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Fine with Ace or VJ. Then a lot of pressure on 2026

I'm leaning more towards Edgecombe right now. Consistently high motor and wants to play the right way. If we get Ace I wont complain at all but I also cant really see the "best player in a championship contender" in him like so many others do.

Brandon Ingram and MPJ were both highly rated prospects once upon a time and while injuries may have hurt their development they dont excuse MPJ for still not being able to facilitate at all, or BI playing low motor unserious basketball quite often. Thats not an issue of missing practice time or about setbacks that hurt their athleticism... its just who those guys are as ballers.

Yeah same here .. VJ’s high motor pushes it over the top for me.

Ace for me, if we are drafting today, bc I imagine that scoring prowess with nba spacing

By the way, good thread idea Mr Hume

Then it’s everyone else. I have Edgecombe and Tre currently rounding out my top-5.
