    I mean... We was doing that last year. Hayes and NAW looks like whiffs. So, lets be humble.

    Completely agree. I was just thinking about RJ and Lewis as combo.

    Hayes doesn't look like a whiff lol

    You don't whiff on a pick if you draft a guy who needs time to develop physically, and he *somehow* takes time to develop. You aren't drafting a guy like Hayes for rookie production, you're drafting them for 3 or 4 years in where the weight is added to the frame and the experience gap is made up.

    From RealGM

    Unread post#647 ? by baldur ? less than a minute ago

    Detroit is the winner.
    Saddiq bey
    Isaiah Stewart
    Killian Hayes

    Probably couldn't be better than this.
    Every single post is saying Detroit killed it lol

  7. #407


    I have no idea what to think about this.

    I feel like this is a good place for him, if they use him at the 5. If they try to put him at the 4 next to Bam, that's a mistake.

    What can I say? There's a reason I tell people not to trust highlight culture scouting.

    Lewis gets no interview opportunity and Nash gets five minutes after not picking anybody for the team.

    BIG MARKET TEAMS!!!

    I'd be surprised if we pick someone as bad at 3pt shooting as Maxey. Maybe Vinson can fix him. Meh. We missed out on a lot of shooters.
    BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.

    BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.

    So is Kira comparable to an Iverson lite?

    Sorry, I haven't been paying attention at all this offseason.....

    76ers with Maxey. Bummer, but there is a limit to the number of guards one can roster.

    Maxey is a much better shooting prospect than his raw college %age shows. His high level FT shooting, high touch and midrange efficiency, his shot versatility, and his pre-NBA sample were all much more encouraging. Raw college 3pt percentage is not actually even close to being the best indicator of shooting ability over time.

    I'm not saying he's going to be an elite shooter or anything but I think he'll be at least 36% with no real issue.

    Sort of?

    Player comparisons are always bad. He's not the ballhandler that Iverson was, whatsoever, and he's not the dynamic off the dribble scorer either, but yeah he's very light and fast and projects well as a shooter.

    Kira's a good bet to be a better defender than Iverson was though. I know Iverson racked up a lot of steals but he was no stopper, whereas Kira really hustles on defense all the time.

    With that percentage, Ball is a better fit at SG for us. But it's more his low release and streaky shooting......we can call it streaky at best.

    Guess is Bane the T-Rex Time.

  17. #417


    Yeah that's the riht move for them.

    Tillman and Bane still on the board for 24.

  18. #418
    Tyrese Maxey going here! Damn it.

    I want RJ Hampton or Desmond Bane PLEASE!!

    That is the kind of player nobody should ever be compared to, as they will be found wanting. At a certain point you end up calling Perry Jones Kevin Durant lite...

    *shrug* He'll be fine. Every indicator other than raw 3pt% is there. Not gonna be elite, but he'll be fine.

    Denver should pick someone like Hampton, maybe. Half-court rim pressure guy. Or Bane, for some team D and shooting.
