Holmes & Hall...welcome to Denver.

[@bigcpodcast]

He would fit well in San Antonio

[@LucianConnally]

Portland Fan here, I’d enjoy watching what PJ could do here. If he slips to second round….

[@ronalddennis7431]

What about New York? PJ Hall playing with Jalen Brunson would be awesome.

[@bronxroots6668]

Thaaank you bruh, I thought I was the only one who sees PJ Hall as a decent prospect. And I think he’d prosper with my NYK’s. If he happens to be around in round 2 pick 38, snatch him up with the swiftness👍🏾

[@jimpugh1778]

Please discuss the G league. Given the importance of development of such young players...Is it the second best league in the world? What limits the development of players. from the G league? Is it better to sit on the bench in the NBA or to play games in the G league?

[@gullintanni]

Hey, a EuroLeague team would beat every team in the GL by 30 points.

[@norrinradd542]

I'd take Kwame Evans Jr. the highest of those prospects. DaRon Holmes is solid though. PJ Hall is draftable, not sure if I'd put him in my top 20 though.

[@RonnieLeeDuck]

I come down in the middle of Rafael and James. I agree with Rafael that his shooting his fine. I see him having a good foundation with his shooting. It will get better and better as the years go on. On the other hand, I find Evans surprisingly weak finishing at the rim. And that is at the college level, never mind what he will face in the pros. Moreover, I see him having virtually zero shot making ability. He is a spot up shooter and nothing else. Not talked about is that Evans is a very good passer with a high bball IQ.

[@gullintanni]

I like PJ best. NBA body, skilled 3 level scorer that has been the man and produced on a good team. Holmes is a bit soft imo and I don’t think his shooting form makes for a viable NBA 3 pointer. Evans just does not produce enough.

[@norrinradd542]

@@gullintanni I'm actually at Kwame/DaRon in the same tier now... PJ Hall I'm still not as high on as either one. Kwame Evans, Jr. gets lost sometimes but he's still young and has shown flashes especially on the defensive side of the ball. DaRon is a beast.

[@Daniel_Capital]

Hall and Holmes would be perfect for the Boston Celtics. Al Horford isn't getting any younger, Luke Kornet is awful and Porzingis' health always makes him miss a ton of games. Hall and Holmes fit that Horford/Porzingis mold of a stretch big
