      @@henny6566 I’d give him a high C+ honestly maybe B-, for a 1st overall pick his career has been pretty mediocre so far. Been in the league for 7-8 years already, only ONE all star selection and has made the playoffs ONCE.

      Zion is probably a right grade at what he gave for Ant and Cade, and that's incomplete. He had one of the best seasons for a 20 year old in the league but it's just very hard to gauge that when he hasn't really played a lot after that. Incomplete even as a prospect in the league is what I'd best consider him for now because he's at a crossroads where he could throw his career away or get it together and dominate

    If Ayton can prove last year’s playoff run and consistent 20/10 performances wasn’t a fluke he could be a B+/A-. So far this season having McGee to relieve him has kept his numbers down but will hopefully be what they need to have a good 1-2 punch to finish what they started last year.

    Bro let his own personal bias prevent him from giving an accurate assessment of Kyrie. He deserves an A-/B+ considering he was arguably just as good as Bron in that 3-1 finals series and has had sustained success since. He has had a better career than all the B- players he mentioned. Also, considering the year Fultz just had with Orlando, he’s def has climbed to atleast a C.

    You gotta bump up Wiggins now. I'd say at least a B. He graded DeAndre Ayton a B- even though he hasn't done anything in his career yet. Wiggins received all star starter nods this season and won a ring while being the 2nd best player on the team. There was a point after Game 2 of the Finals that if he should be the FMVP cause Curry had a terrible game and Wiggins carried.
