DJ is good, but I'm not sold on his playmaking yet. Love his energy tho.

I thought he looked better than Clarke, but they both have some maturing to do physically. Some extra ballhandling drills wouldn't hurt them either.

Feel the same way. Don't view him as a plug and play guy in the NBA just yet.

The past June, before Butler pulled his name from the the draft, he was a target of mine for the Knicks with either their late 1st or 2nd round pick. If we get a wing with our 1st pick, he can be a target with the Dallas pick if he's still available.

Suggs

Those 5 are the main guys on my radar but I’m sure others will be there. If we grab one of these guys to play alongside Mitch, Obi, RJ and Quickley we are onto something.

I’m adding Ziaire Williams to the mix. He’s a major talent with his shooting and length.

He has good form on his jumper so that’s good. I read he’s a good defensive presence. He’d be a nice consolation prize if we got f’ed over in the lottery. I still prefer Suggs or Cade.

For me Cade, Suggs, Johnson, Boston, or Williams would all be fine. This isn't counting the D-League Select guys who we may not be able to judge properly for awhile. What a loaded draft though.

First time seeing him but like his game at this first glance.

Beautiful form and his shot looks pure. Very good playmaker as well....This draft is loaded with elite wings and we have to land one if them.

Wasn't able to catch him and it's hard to judge Stanford players because of the system. How much of his athleticism do you think translates to the NBA Uptown?

I'm actually watching him play live right now....they are playing UNC on ESPN right now..

Rushing in to turn that on now.

Zaire is a good athlete, not elite....Good quickness, not elite. Very good shooter and understanding of how to play the game at a young age. He has the body of a freshman and will need time to add much needed strength, unlike Cade, Suggs and Jalen Johnson who all have the physical attributes to play in the NBA right now. Zaire is definitely a top ten pick, 8-10 range. Need to see more, though.
Uptown @ 12/1/2020 7:09 PM
Cade Cunningham on Fox Sports right now, Vs. Marquette.

Jalen Johnson and Duke on ESPN @ 7:30. Looks like my remote will get a good workout tonight. Cade and Jalen Johnson are my top prospects right now...

Yeah im cool with being bad this year because the talent at the top is ridiculous. The lottery has to go our way one of these years
