I kinda have a feeling Ja Morant is gonna be a bust or have an underperforming career. 2nd picks have been underwhelming for a decade and running for the most part.

Barring injury I don't see it. PGs with that kind of athleticism almost always have a decent start to their career. How good he becomes is gonna be dependent on that J

Yeah and people want to compare him to Westbrook but Russ was much more built coming in then Morant who’s slight. Ja’s not gonna be able overpower people going downhill like Russ does

Russ wasn't really overpowering people to the rim in his rookie year that much, he was just outhustling people and has a crazy motor. But I agree he won't be able to do that.

He can really be a taller and more athletic Wall at best, at worst he can be what De'Aaron Fox is now, but we'll see how he pans out, but I don't see him being a flat out bust.

He get a J, the athleticism won’t even matter. Dude was really an elite facilitator with his #2/#3 being a Fairhope nikka and a black SnoBall

we fail on EVERY wing that comes through UNC the fukk lol even harrison barnes got lulled into that stiff robotic game that all of our guys get molded into

and what fit? they already got bridges who's just as talented or close when it comes to shooting and defense and they also traded TJ Warren too. phoenix got no fukkin clue what they're doing and by adding any starting caliber point guard along with firing igor they're already set to improve. just because one of the worst organizations in the league values a guy more than others, it doesn't mean he's secretly undervalued. i like the guy but come the fukk on

if they wanted cam so bad they could've got him anytime until the mid 20s at the earliest. nobody checks for seniors for a reason and especially not guys who spent 5 years in college ball.
I’m not negating nothing breh says bc it’s not my argument, but I feel like it wouldn’t ruin his stance to admit the Suns reached up :manny: they could’ve prolly traded back to mid teens and still got dude if they just had to have him

He’s shorter and less athletic than wall tho

Marvin Bagley was not underwhelming last season. :ufdup:

He was on the Kings so people didn't pay much attention they were my league pass favorite team to watch dude is a stud...But I think they should make a way for him to start playing Center he will be a mismatch nightmare but I have a feeling vlade will make a play for Vucevic or Jonas.

Does anyone read the Stepien for draft coverage/prospects ? They go pretty in depth which is cool at times but they go way to far in nerding out with weird ass stats.
