Sorry no one wants to see your shit franchise waste another elite prospect.

This is funny to me

I was sitting there saying oh my god the Lakers may have a chance with AD

 

[Hurricane Season]

The Bulls will never be relevant again in my lifetime.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Mainly because I'm going to fucking kill myself.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The new lottery system was a huge failure.

I'm interested to see how they handle it. I said it the other day, but they finally have their shit together.

I'm excited to see what they do from here on out.

[buzzy]

too bad nola doesn't watch the NBA anymore

 

[Hurricane Season]

I've got about five weeks to talk myself into thinking Coby White might someday develop into a competent NBA point guard

 

[buzzy]

Don't be so hard on yourself Jakebro. Lauri would arguably be a top 3 pick in a redraft. Anything's possible.

How crazy would if be if Barrett doesnt go top 3? Top 5?

Moved to the appropriate thread.

I think Barrett's narrative right now will keep him in the Top 3. This year's Duke team, and specifically their lack of spacing, had a huge impact on how effective Barrett was. I think he'll look much better in an NBA offense. Plus, there aren't three prospects behind him that could drop him into the Top 5.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I think he will go top 5, but wouldnt be the least bit shocked to see someone else go 3rd.

Thanks for moving to this thread too, forgot it existed lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Supposedly the Morant-Barrett 2-3 after Zion isnt as clear as we think it is. Fans like those guys more than teams do.

Teams seem to really like Culver.

Could all be misdirection of course.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't think Ja would've shut it down and gotten surgery if he wasn't feeling pretty assured of going where he wants to go.

RJ is a future Pelican

 

[jonathanlambert33]

This is from a scout whos team has a lottery pick and likes Culver much more than Barrett:

On offense, I've gotta use RJ as my primary ball handler. Otherwise, how is he a threat? Nobody is scared of him off ball. On D, his awareness and effort is poor and his footwork is terrible.

Meanwhile, w Culver, I like his chances to develop into an off ball threat. He is a good secondary attacker and would be fine with that role. He could be primary for spurts too and can play mid or low post on switches. And his D is MUCH better.

RJ might produce better stats, but only on bad teams and we dont plan to be that for long. To us, there isn't a ton of value in an inefficent high usage guy on a bad team who would not contribute much to winning when we are good and he doesnt have the ball all the time."
