Give us your projections for 1st team all rookie

[@norrinradd542]

Kel'el Ware is another guy that will probably fall, although from watching enough, Rich - you probably think that's a bad take. I think it'll depend on where he goes for him to succeed, but he could fall easily.

[@stilldre247]

I hope that young man is studying Dereck Lively bc I think he can be a clone

[@ssjj005]

No Keshad Johnson for the defense?

[@thekaying]

Who projects to be the best player-podcaster?

[@stilldre247]

Who is the first to make an all star team from this draft?

[@LockedOnNBABigBoard]

ooooh I like this. I will go Sheppard since i see him on a Bane trajectory

[@stilldre247]

Where would Dereck Lively, Jaime Jacquez, and Brandin Podz land in this draft?

[@LockedOnNBABigBoard]

Knowing what we know now? All top 5 maybe even 1 for Lively. Pre draft they're all lotto though, with Lively probably closer to top 5

[@slickrick8046]

How can Reed be the best shooter when he only managed to take 8 FGA per game while playing 29 minutes a game….???🤦 He averaged 38% from three point range in high school with more volume. Odds are what he did at Kentucky, with very limited volume, was an anomaly that he will never repeat again.

[@Skygooose]

Yeah, that goes way underdiscussed.

[@stilldre247]

I’d be more interested in his AAU stats than high school to look for a trend. He played HS ball in the mountains of eastern KY with no teammates of note. That leads to a ton of bad shots.

[@slickrick8046]

@@stilldre247 It doesn’t matter. It’s still best to look at those things when dealing with one & done college players. Also, I maybe wrong about the 38%…I’m seeing information that he shot 33%. The Rockets got burned the same way with Jabari Smith Jr. by not looking at his high school numbers. He’s not as good a shooter as people hyped him up to be.

NO PROJECTS & GUYS WHO CAN'T SHOOT FOR THE KNICKS, ARE WE CLEAR? DO YOU NOT KNOW COACH THIBS? AND NO EXPERIMENTS, JUST GUYS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE RIGHT AWAY, PERIOD! 🤨
