NBA Draft 2021

Re: NBA Draft 2021

Suggs plays a lot more like a lead guard than DLo IMO.. Russell could pass, but his passing seemed to come off of his scoring and how teams reacted to that. James Harden type of passing. Suggs just runs the offense, I never thought coming out that DLO was a guy I would want to play PG for me in the NBA, always thought he was a SG who had a bit of playmaking in him.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

I’ve thought Gonzaga was the team to beat since a couple weeks into the season, but man Baylor has just been unreal in the tournament. These guys are so aggressive on both ends.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

Their intensity is impressive. I don't believe in nonsense like "a team just wanted it more" but Baylor is playing with tremendous will and toughness tonight. It also helps they're on fire from deep.

Suggs' heart and toughness is on display tonight.

This has to be soul-crushing for Gonzaga fans. An undefeated season until now and they still can't win their first championship.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

Suggs reminds me alot of Ray Allen and Grant Hill. Just effortless athleticism. And if he gets the right coaching, he'll be an absolute lockdown defender.

.. would love to live in a basketball world where Suggs and Timme were back for another run.

Last year burns also. No Suggs, but Killian Tillie was a force in his own right. I think they win 1 of the last 2.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

Suggs is my #1 pick. I feel like he and Mobley can play on both ends at the next level while Cunningham is a bit more of a question mark. I think Cunningham definitely has the highest upside but Suggs and Mobley have higher floors. Cunningham would benefit from going to a solid franchise at #1 instead of some absolute ****show.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

You didn't feel that way about AD and Zion?

I too was unsure on AD because of his offense. He was the consensus #1 pick though, that was easy.

I loved Zion. I was one of the few (tooting my own horn) who talked about his PnR/playmaking potential in the NBA. We had so many fun discussions on him (and Reddish lol). The '19 draft thread is the GOAT draft thread on OS.

Hahaha isn't that the truth! How many arguments did we have about Reddish and RJ? [emoji1787] I feel like pages on pages. Always worth with you guys. Always [emoji23].

Man, I still don't see Zion being the Shaq/mega star he's being hyped as.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

I don't know if he'll be on Shaq's level as few are but he's 20 years old putting up 26/7/3.5 on historic efficiency, let alone for a guy who's 6'6". He's just getting started as a playmaker. He's pretty darn good.

Believe the hype

You see when people say what he just said. I'm like... He's Only 20 years old [emoji23]. Like I don't think people realize that.

The hype is real. Yes the Pels get waaay too tv time. But that comes with the territory. I never saw anyone complaining about the Cavs getting too much TV time back in 2003 [emoji23]

Also Ayo is joining the draft.

It's it ok if I post the ESPN TOP 50 players for the draft?

I'm fine with the Pels getting airtime. The Warriors not so much.

I've never heard him being compared to Shaq. That's a weird comparison. I blame espn for ruining people over Zion. Zion is a megastar. But we didn't need to heat about it every second of the day.

This. He's must watch TV. Nobody plays like him. But he's not just a bully as we've discussed before. He's really talented and just a smart kid. Sky is the limit for him. It's all about how much work he puts into his jumpshot and defense. He's literally scoring those averages on attacking the rim. Alot like Giannis in that aspect.

Re: NBA Draft 2021

The media is taking Baylor's run hook, line, and sinker. CBS Sports has Mitchell up to #6 in their mock.

Even DX has him up to #7.

He's pretty damn good. But I don't really know enough about him to make an assumption.
