Don't be reluctant to draft players because of age because if they're good, they'll play until their mid thirties anyway. And older players can still improve by playing with better teammates. And young players full of potential is also a gamble because of the short contracts.

[@THEEJoeSmith]

[@lukek4073]

​@THEEJoeSmith The thought is that there is more room to develop a 19 year old vs a 23 year old. People in the top 5 are looking to draft a franchise player that can be an allstar. So they'll choose the young player with higher upside. Older players are viewed better mid to late 1st round with contenders

its crazy to me just because some prospect age 23-25 they consider old. i am not from US so it always surprising to me the atmospher in nba is always expected 19-20 yeard old playing well againts grown man in their 30s not everyone is Lebron or Wembanyama they are generational talent. sorry for my bad english btw

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

I was glad to see your very realistic and objective take on Buzelis. He might be the classic case of someone who shines in Summer League, but it doesn't translate to the regular season. He obviously has some athletic skills. Nobody was more fun to watch in the layup line before the game. He'll definitely be in the dunk contest in the future. And he had some spectacular highlights during the games. But it seemed to be somewhat dependent on who was out there for the other team. Many Summer League teams don't have a real NBA-quality center, and interior defense can be weak. When Matelis was facing real NBA frontcourt players, as in the Golden State game, he got brutally stuffed over and over. In garbage time, he was padding his stats like crazy. I have to confess that my opinion is colored by the fact that he was the dirtiest player I saw in this Summer League. I was isolating on watching him, and on defense, off the ball, he was constantly trying cheap shots, throwing elbows, grabbing guys' arms from behind and trying to trip them, etc. If he tries that on Draymond, he might wind up on the IL. He did get flattened on one play, off the ball, when he tried to trip the opponent from behind. He looked at the ref for a foul, and the ref just shook his head.
