That wasn't specified, the idea though was sometimes good offensive players struggle against top defenses, and especially when they're just getting started
I will say though Russell is pretty much a pure jump shooter, and when you have a guy who takes more jumpers than layups, you end up with someone like a Lillard, who will either have really big nights, or really bad ones. Though Russell seems to have much more vision.
The only thing I disagree with in OP's list is Tyus Jones. It's just no way he's a starting point guard in this league IMO sorry
Yes my outlook on Jones has changed, he was excellent against Wisconsin but their perimeter defense has been weak this year and Jones has been too inconsistent on the whole

Draftexpress Porzingis scouting report is out.
I still haven't seen a full game of his this season. Schmiddy on point as usual with the video scouting reports.
I did see Porsizngis a couple full games like 2 years ago in the U18 Euros and wasn't impressed at all. However his numbers look great in ACB and Eurocup and from what I've seen recently as far as scouting/highlights videos, i have been very impressed. The strength and toughness will come as he gets older and matures. Especially if he has the right coaching but he looks very fluid with that size and length and smooth Jay. So it's hard for me to rank him.
Meanwhile, i believe Barcelona played on NBATV today, anyone catch that game? Did Hezonja play well?
Also, i am looking at the college Juniors and there is several real slept on guys that could break out next year and get drafted in the first round but aren't really being talked about in draft circles as much as they should. So I'll make a post about them in this thread soon

Hezonja didn't play in the NBAtv game and yes your reports are welcomed and appreciated.

So Towns has taken over the top spot now huh
DX still has Jahlil as 1, but I think it's going to depend on the team that gets the pick.
Kings, Magic, Wolves, Nuggets all probably take Towns over Okafor.
Starting to wonder if the Knicks would lean that way as well.
Also
@ the LeVert/Russell arguments from earlier in this thread... @Poitier whuhhappendbruh?

Who do you like more between the two?
How will Towns look in the short term? Is Okafor destined to be a Cousins, Vucecic, Al Jefferson type that puts up huge numbers offensively but doesn't get wins? Can we trust Duke prospects to fulfill their potential?

B, LeVert could be at 150% health on some super mario just got the star, shyt... and he's still not seeing Russell.
You won't even own that mistake?
I was just fukking around with you.... don't get all in your feelings. You're one of my favorite draft heads on the boards.

you think he can play the 3 or is best with a small line up as a 4?
How you think Dakari Johnson game will translate in the league
Last edited:
He won't be able to play the 4, he's not like a lot of the other Euro guys cause he has a decent handle, he's a pure wing in how he plays. I think his best position may end up being SG in the NBA where he can take advantage of his height, but a team will probably take him to be a SF.
I'm not sure about Dakari, he has some nice post moves but he looks awkward as fukk at times. He could be Greg Monroe-ish, or he could just be a backup and out the league in a couple years.

I like both guys to be honest, Towns has the higher ceiling though because he could end up like LaMarcus but with better defense. In the short term Karl will probably struggle a bit while he learns to play the PnR and gets a bit more offensive freedom, Okafor should be ROTY next year with 14/8 type numbers. If you can get Okafor next to a defensive PF a lot of the worry goes out the window, it's a little easier to hide a big man on defense as long as you have another one to cover for them, he'll be able to hold his ground in man to man but team defense and rotating is usually where the guys you named struggle.
