Reacting to my FIRST NBA Draft Big Board (WHAT WAS I THINKING?)

[@zagcard]

Would love a Brandon Clarke video! His year at GU was truly insane. And I still like his fit on the Grizzlies

[@unsubstainable9711]

Grant Williams and genius being in the same sentence is INSANE 😭😭

[@3riantran]

I too shared your Culver take, haunts me to this day…

[@pkmk3010]

Yup I was high on brandon clarke too back then 😅 I thought he was the 2nd best player below zion haha Still a big fan actually, he's still reliable when healthy

[@mikeadoobball1]

As a Lakers fan I too was and others were irrationally high on THT. Your write up is on point tho. He's so great at getting to the rim but his finishing still hasn't improved and of course his shooting as well. Another on point one is Rui. His flaws being lessen by having AD and Bron getting tougher matchups really help him become a starter.

Can we get a video on prospect Brandon Jennings?

[@longliveorganic]

well at least u wasnt apart of the cam reddish train

[@Christo_Trismegistus]

I thought he was the next T Mac

[@longliveorganic]

@@Christo_Trismegistus i swear he is still one of the most talented hoopers i ever saw idc he didnt work out. nd i think fans like me or family around him constantly reminding him of that might be a reason why he failed. if he chilled, locked in and played his role focused on improvement he wouldve been solid, but the expectations might gotten better of him. felt like he was tryna force to be a superstar or something instead of steady growth

[@bilalmallickmonizahasan518]

Clarke is top 5 in win shares in his draft class.

[@legittaco5899]

Exactly. Just because he's not star material, his skill and value make him one of the most talented players at his role, which is arguably harder than finding a #1.

[@bilalmallickmonizahasan518]

I had a second round grade on Reddish. He was part of Doncic trade

[@lee9617]

zion is the ultimate alpha🐺🐺🐺

What did you think about kevin knox in the day?

The best way to predict NBA success is per 40 stats in college.

[@SidTheMid1414]

BPM is good too

[@bilalmallickmonizahasan518]

If you are looking for scoring then look at per 40 scoring. It should be 20 or higher. Also look at advanced stats like box plus minus

@@benpfeifer8192 Yes, not perfect. Need to combine both data and scouting to make sense of it all. Age matters of course. Zion posted the best box plus minus as a freshman. Nothing is absolute but data can help you eliminate the Jimmy Fredettes of the world.
