I agree with pierce. If you take the top 5 players from both teams, three of them plays for Duke.

Zion Williamson is better than any player on Cleveland ( excluding K.Love). RJ Barrett is better than anybody on Cleveland as well.


-Trae Young is currently averaging 18pts and 8 ast right now

-Alonzo Trier is currently averaging 12pts and taking late shots.

-Deandre Ayton is currently averaging 16pts and 10rebs without Phoenix even giving him the ball.

* It’s not out the realm of possibility to believe Zion, RJ and Reddish could beat Cleveland.


You have no idea how college players will pan out at the next level

I can say yeah Barrett is good because he played on the cdn men’s team but he was dominated against some time

And sorry breh look at all the high schoolers who left ha for the nba how many had great rookie seasons.

A healthy Kevin love is better than Barrett and williamnson right now

All these guys you mentioned had a year of college bball seasoning, combine had the summer to gain weight watch tape and are playing with nba players

Y’all understand how hard it is to be an NBA player right? The 2012 Bobcats would be the brakes off the best college team. These are grown men versus boys.
This isn't football. That grown man shyt dont apply to Zion ir even RJ who are both the most pro-ready prospects in years . Zion will the most athletic nikka in the league. RJ would abuse JC I don't give a damn how long he been in the league and Zion would abuse that frontcourt.

I disagree. I excluded Kevin love because he’s injured and yes K.love would end this discussion ( if he could play).

The argument you used about College seasoning in regards to Trae Young and Ayton is semi-Flawed since Trae Young and Deandre never played against any competition close to the Kentucky team Zion and RJ just demolished.

I agree you don’t know how high schoolers pan out. But I don’t remember any high schooler being as talented as RJ or as physically superior and skillful as Zion Williamson.
