Easy choice at the moment until I see him play a game in the league is French kid who the Knicks drafted.

 

[LogicMan]

For me its either the french dude ( i dont know anything about him) of Isaac. ON the otherhand Isaac could have the highest ceiling. I am going with the french guy

Because I don't like players from dook I'm gonna say Tatum. I do hope Ainge made the right pick. I still won't root for him though.

i hate duke...loathe duke (mostly for the douchebag fans). tatums motor concerns me, as does his first step. hes not as quick as youd like a wing scorer to be.
we'll see...

My concern is for how many players make it to the NBA from that program very few go on to have great careers.

 

[Sparhawk]

You may as well take a poll for which team you despise the most....

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

In this order:

1 - Markkanen - 7 Foot white guys with limitless range, but doesnt do anything else that 7 footers do? Scares me on the next level

2 - Ntilikina - Still only 18, great wingspan and a special defender, which is nice in todays NBA...But i cant get past averaging 5 points in Strausburg

3 - Zach Collins - really polished big man, nice low post and mid range game....I just wonder how much todays' NBA is suited to those type players

4 - Jayson Tatum - very high Miss rate with Duke players in the NBA...Reminds me of Okafor with more outside skills


I like the rest...Isaac is a fucking freak, that dude is perfect for todays; NBA.......I hate to say I think Lonzo Ball may end up being the best player in this draft, he is Kidd with a better shot......Fultz/Fox/Smith, I think will all be solid to great NBA players

Exactly some of the things said about the underwhelming Okafor

different position, different skill set.

duke does tend to make lazy players tho...

I just remember them saying about Okafor....'Some people wonder whether he really likes basketball"

I remember thinking "well that cant be good"

They said the same exact thing last night about the Texas kid the Nets drafted

 

[trojanfan12]

Went with Markannen. Has the feel of a taller Jimmer Fredette. I hope I'm wrong because I liked the kid in Arizona. But it just seems like white guys who are supposed to be able to light it up from 3 point range haven't fared so well of late.

Agreed. Bulls f'ed up, I think.

jimmer is killing it in china.

not fast enough or big enough for the nba, never made the adjustments.

 

[Mecca]

The Frenchie is low hanging fruit, as is Giles.

So, I'll go....Markannen too.

Fredette, McDermott, Morrison....pick your comparison.

Only thing is, he's not expected to be a franchise player where he was picked.

His floor is Morrison, Langdon....bad.

His ceiling is Ryan Anderson, Lambieer.

I think he will meet in the middle and be Mo Speights 2.0

 

[The Derski]

Markannen will average double digits his rookie year. All of you and your stereotypes make me sick.
