I think Williamson is a positionless player.

Interesting viewing choices - wanting to see the pro prospects in the 2 16 vs 1 games tonight - but knowing there is more dramatic action to tune in to.

Getting a good look tonight at White, Little (UNC), Reddish and Virginia's Hunter, if possible.  Saw Ky's Keldon Johnson yesterday for a bit.  He's interesting.  But after Knox......

Then of course there is Gonzaga's Hachimura and his rising teammate Brandon Clarke

That there’s experience with a rim running type center and three perimeter guys is a good sign.

It will be curious to see whether Morant is public with his weight closer to the draft.

Barrett seems safe at least to give a team something between John Simmons and Norm Powell. If Derozan is his ceiling, it’s not a terrible pick.

There are other guys I can see taking over three, but the top two have a big lead. 

Clarke is better than Hachimura.

Ja over Barrett sure happened quickly.

He is leading his own team, a mid-major, to a win in the Tourney behind his Triple Double.  He doesn't have a 1a like Zion or a 2 like Reddish

None of this matters

It is about projecting success as a pro.

Barrett has been the KING for quite some time.

Duke players underrated?  Yeah.... this is an example ("Well, he plays with Zion.......")

Reddish is falling based on a missing skill - this is different.  Kennard never rose - and likely should have.

RJ Barrett is not Andre Barrett's kid by the way.

Quote
Trump, for her part, did not identify the NBA player in question, citing her no-snitching policy. But she did acknowledge that she’s been considering naming a “famous athlete” she allowed to log into her social media accounts under the guise of “helping out” her business — only to find that he used that access to catfish unwitting men.

“I’ve been thinking about it,” Trump said when asked if she’s considering outing the latter athlete, who she later confirmed was also in the NBA.

She continued: “No, he went on there messaging men — hey, messaging men acting like me — but he was like, ‘I got a new number, hit me up, I got a new iPhone 10.’ And he would message them, ask them for videos.”

Trump further claimed that the unnamed NBA star posed as her while trying to get other men to send videos of them masturbating or having sex with women.

“Swear to God,” Trump said.

Seemingly unaware of the bombshell she had just dropped, Trump said she didn’t expect the player to be identified — although she did have some choice words for him in closing.

“But no one would ever know because I don’t follow anybody,” Trump said. “I’m not even kidding — and f–k you, you know who you are. I’m so pissed off about that s–t right now.”

It has happened before.

Are you saying we pass on Z?

Good question.   

We know the Knicks front office is obsessed with acquiring "Stars" so I think they happily draft Zion with no second thoughts. 

But if we ping-pong our way to the #2 pick and can choose between Ja and RJ i would have no complaints.

As i understand it, we have about a 40% chance to draft one of the top three guys. 

If we get no luck and land 4th we still might get someone like Culver.

At fifth lots of choices...   Reddish, Romeo, and others....  or trade the pick.

Zion
« Reply #4979 on: March 22, 2019, 09:31:15 PM »

Scores at an above 70% clip in the paint.

DeAndre Jordan does too.

Zion scores in the paint using his 285 lb frame against players almost 100 lbs less.

He's not going to be able to be as dominant against bigger athletes.

Projecting HOW dominant is the question.
