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.
Agreed...Jalen Green has the potential to be the number 2 pick behind Cade in this draft. Explosive athlete and scorer. Looking forward to watching him compete in the G league. Kuminga has top 5 talent as well....
Don’t sleep on Mobley, especially if it doesn’t work out with Mitch.
Not sleeping on Mobley at all. In no particular order, top 6 right now:
Cade Jalen Suggs Jalen Green Jalen Johnson Evan Mobley Johnathan Kuminga
I like most of Suggs game better than Cunningham. Haven’t see a lot of outside shooting from Suggs though, while Cade is starting to show his. Suggs appears more athletic. Cade seems smoother. I’d like to see how they both develop and how they fare in tougher matchups.
Suggs is an intense( emotionally) player. I like that trait

Thanks for posting. I'm not surprised about BJ Boston at all. I posted either in this thread or the other college basketball thread that I saw BJ Boston play in person, when he was a sophomore and junior and was not impressed. I thought he was a good prospect but I did not see a top 10 pick at all. He floated and disappeared often times during the games. He's a decent athlete, nothing spectacular. I hope we stay away from him.
Moody is an intriguing prospect than I need to see more of before I can formulate a strong opinion about his game.

Terrence Clarke has looked better than Boston so far, but it's still early. I think Boston will climb back up when he finds his shot. He definitely needs to mature physically. Same with Ziaire Williams, although his offensive game seems further along at this point.

Agreed on all points. I'm not sure Kentucky was the right place for a guy like Boston but Calipari has a way of getting these guys to play so I'll give him time.

Not a fan of Williams handle as it is right now. He can shoot the lights out but after two dribbles in the paint he has to because his defender will have cut off the lane. If he improves that he should go top 10

Yep, Boston has better shot creation than Williams. But what good is that if his shot isn't going down? Just makes for cooler looking misses.

For our team I think Cunningham might be best fit. 6/8 point guard
This draft has a few high tier prospects. Mobley is way up there— way different than Wiseman. More of a fluid KG 4 man who is 7-1

Agreed about Cade. But if the rumors are true that the Knicks were looking to trade up in the draft for Wiseman, and not Ball, makes me wonder if the Knicks get a high enough pick and Mobley and Cade are on the board, would they strongly consider taking Mobley and address the pg needs later in the draft or sign someone like Lonzo as a FA?
But I'm with you, Cade is number 1 on my board for the Knicks.

Yeah, Cunningham, Mobley and Suggs are my top 3 right now. If Mitch can get his head out of his ass and take his game serious then this wouldn’t even be a discussion. We would only need to worry about the PG spot. But hey, it’s up to Mitch.

What’s crazy is Kuminga and Jalen Green haven’t even played yet. Legit I think all 5 would have gone first in the 2020 draft.

Frankly, I thought those rumors were probably the reverse: GS wanting to unload Wiseman/Wiggins for Mitch/#8,etc.

Very high IQ. I really like the fact that he's willing to use his size for floaters and baby hooks. Abuse those pint-sized guards on offense! Wish Frank would do the same.

Plus Cade is viewed as more sure fire than Lamelo.
