Draft time/summer league really separates the guys who know basketball from those that don't.

If you think Josh Jackson and De'Aaron Fox are gonna be stars, you don't know ANYTHING about basketball. Conversely, if you think Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball will be anything but stars, you also don't know ANYTHING about basketball.

To me these 4 players are the litmus test for whether you know anything about basketball.
Imo it's impossible to say at this point everyone is guessing. Can you expound on what you mean by this?

Looks better than Poeltl and we were talking about taking dude at #27 last year in the mock thread :francis:
Im one of the few guys not on the Poeltl hate train, i thought he looked good yesterday. Fluid and good hands :hubie:


But yeah Qi going in the 2nd was ridiculous. I low key wanted him at 9 early on last year. 7'2 with skill and athelticism doesnt come around too often

Teams were probably scared off because he might be older than his listed age and he's rail thin...but last year's draft was so bad, I don't think any of that matters when you clearly have NBA skills and athleticism.
