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

Missed the Duke, but it looks like Johnson dropped back down to earth from the box score. Watching Kentucky Kansas now. This Braun kid looks like a potential plug and play guy in the second round. This Kansas team is solid. I have to give Gonzaga even more credit for their win.

You know this class is strong when Jalen Wilson from Kansaz is the runt of the litter from the group of Jalens

It's still early, but he's the clear number pick for me. I think 2-6 will play musical chairs most the season. The 3 Jalen's (Green, Suggs and Johnson) Kuminga and Mobley.

Quick thoughts:
that Stanford kid is nice! Saw his highlights and that jumper might be the most legit one I’ve seen all year. If he can demonstrate himself to be a more than competent defender, then I wouldn’t mind him here at all. Offensively, I just want to see a better handle and how he handles himself when his shot isn’t falling.
From now on I refuse to watch Cunningham highlights until lottery day. Dramatic yes but this is one player I’d hate to miss out on haha
That Kentucky teams looks really unbalanced. I’m sure Boston will still end up a lottery pick but man they all have some shaping up to do. It’s as if these guys haven’t played any organized basketball.
Evan Mobley looks really nice. Too soon to call, but it’d be really interesting to see what would happen in if Mitch panned out but Mobley ends up as the clear BPA on draft night.

Kentucky is going to have to adjust their backcourt rotations. Askew doesn't seem ready yet to conduct that train. Too much one on one from that team right now.

Jalen Wilson coming out party.

Great size at 6'8 and had a really good touch. Has a knack for drawing contact, and has some shiftyness to his game. If we luck up and get a pg with our first pick....Wilson is someone we need to look at with the Dallas pick if he's still there...And the only way he will be there is if Dallas struggles this year because if Wilson continues to play like this. he will climb into the lottery...

Jalen Suggs just got hurt in this WVU game and it doesn't look good...He immediately grabbed at his Achilles. Hoping its just an ankle or foot injury...

😢 Let's hope it's just a sprain.

He's walking in the hallways and putting more pressure on his foot. The fact that the trainers are allowing him to walk leads me to believe that its not an Achilles...Hope the kid is ok...

Is it bad that I was hoping it was bad enough that he might be available with our Dallas pick? Truly hope he is well. Was quickly becoming my favorite college basketball player this year.

I was just about to post this...Suggs was damn near in tears when he went down and was grabbing at his Achilles. He was probably more scared than anything...I should have known better.....Glad that he is ok though.

Good! Few needs to manage our future star PG better.

As of today and if Knicks had first pick, who do you guys like, Suggs or Cade?

Not for nothing a injury didn’t stop Ja Morant going second and I think it would be the same for Cade and Suggs. They are both going top 5

Cade is my top pick. Cade is good enough to justify the positionless BS Fiz was mesmerizing Mills with. I'm not sure can guard 1s, especially at the NBA level, but I think he'll be fine if you put him on wings. His assists numbers haven't been ridiculous because he also plays with Likekele, who is also jumbo "point guard." Suggs is a monster athlete and runs the PnR like a pro. I think he'll also be able to defend both backcourt slots. He can probably learn to control pace better, but he's a beast. I still need to see Green and Kuminga before I say who I'd pick after Cade tho.

Just watched full game of Evan Mobley He is very very impressive — he’s gonna extend his game at some point but he’s a long smooth 7 footer who has loads of potential

Ha, I knew you'd be back. Monkey looks really good. I see him being a four right now, but hopefully he puts on more weight.
.....Glad that he is ok though.
