Jaden McDaniels getting skipped along with Devin Vassel , IQ and Payton is criminal. Minnesota would be much much worse if we didn’t have our fantastic perimeter defender.
Not close???? Tyrese is leading the league in assists, averaging 20/11/4 and has a PER 4 points higher than ant. Stats don't lie buddy, also they have massive team diff.
As a Kings fan I’m still content with our roster but I sometimes wish we were able to keep Haliburton (and somehow trade Fox) instead of trading for Sabonis because I feel it’s somewhat harder to build a team with a center like him
GTFOH Hali is overrated if his teammates aren’t hitting shots and he’s struggling to score he’s a 0 on the court he’s arguably the worst defender in league Fox is better rn the only thing Hali does better is pass and shoot gimme fox anyday of the week
@@mikeysbusy My comment was *not* about Fox being a bad player-believe me, he’s a great player, but more about roster construction-it is EXTREMELY hard to find a capable frontcourt defender that can play next to Sabonis in a starting lineup that can not only protect the rim but also have some range beyond the arc (to prevent spacing issues).
@@jefferyepstein8348 y’all just letting Hali fool yall 💀 Y’all getting shown these highlights & not watching a real basketball game he’s overrated point blank period he’s not bad but ppl was saying the mf was in the “best pg in the east” category which he definitely shouldn’t be he’s a mid finisher has no mid range game he’s slow so he can get clamped easily as you seen sometimes in the playoffs. just like ant is overrated as well y’all let two playoff series hype yall up then he got exposed by the mavs…booker is still a better sg ant could get there but he isn’t yet
As a 76ers fan it still bewilders me that Tyrese Maxey, who was picked at 21, ended up being better than most of our many top draft picks throughout the 2010’s 😂
To me the biggest disappointments in that draft class are Wiseman, Patrick Williams and Killian hayes both 2nd, 4th and 7th picks in that draft respectively. Apart that Willams is staying on the team that drafted him wiseman changed already 2 teams same goes to Hayes. In Detroit Wiseman wasnt able to develop his shooting like in GS and now he is even becoming a benchwarmer on a winning team for a 2nd pick on the draft. Williams however he is a 3 and D kinda role player he averaged almost 10 points per game in his first 4 seasons with the team. Now signing williams to almost 20 million a year for a role player is a bad recipe for disaster we dont know if Patrick is gonna be this good after signing the contract. Hayes wasnt able to develop his shooting games and he was a turnover machine not only that he didnt develop his 3 point shot because he had all that time to develop everything detroit immediately gave up on him and waived him. Now hayes is with the nets on a minimum contract we dont know if he is gonna work out with the nets. Pistons could have drafted Tyrese Haliburton. The Golden State could have easily drafted Lamelo ball. The bulls could have also drafted Deni avdija instead of Williams. To me Willams Wiseman and hayes are potentially busts based on their scoring stats and their game.
Hayes is French. International players in general are underwhelming. Shoutout to Tony & Diaw but since them, every French prospect in the league has been terrible. Wemby is an anomaly.
Man you should do videos on why Defending Champs are unable to go back-to-back champs. The one you did with the Miami Heat was awesome and would be interesting to see the other recent teams too like Denver losing key components like Brown and Green or the Bubble Lakers losing their bigs or Kawhi leaving Toronto. An in-depth analysis of these would be good.
Always been a huge fan of Deni Avdija since before the draft. I'm glad that he has improved since his disappointing rookie season and excited to see him in RipCity.
I'll never forget when "analysts" were questioning Edwards' commitment to basketball when he said he isn't interested in watching other basketball games.
Everybody questioned if Ant fully committed to basketball and it was reasonable. Nobody questioned his talent. Now Ant showed that he's committed team can build around him and team did decent job doing that.
As a Warriors fan, I can't blame them for taking Wiseman since the Center position was and still is a position of need for them, given all the other teams in the Western Conference have the size at the five to dominate the boards. However, the problem was two-fold Wiseman had to develop on the fly since he only played three games in college but the other problem is the Warriors were not the best team situation for developing what was a project player, if Wiseman had stayed in college a whole season and developed he could've been a better player.
and that dumbass NCAA decision that make him banned for the first year in college, heck even TJD had played more games in his career in NCAA than Wiseman 4 years in NBA, that lack of experience is crazy and because of pandemic, Wiseman had not played summer league those, his basketball career game until nw is less than TJD after TJD finish his rookie year, is enough unlucky
I still blame the Warriors for drafting Wiseman. The guy had so many red flags in him yet they decided to risk it all because they needed size. They got suze alright. A cone on defense and a liability on offense.
As a Warriors fan that James Wiseman pic wasn't bad in theory like nobody said nothing but it just didn't play out well he literally just came out of high school with no college games pretty much
Kings fan here. Nothing but love for Haliburton 💜 wish we could have kept him but at the same time, getting Sabonis is the only thing that got us to the playoffs.
_James Wiseman and Trey Lance play completely different sports yet their stories feel extremely similar:_ 1. Both were top 3 draft picks 2. Both were selected by pro sports teams from the San Francisco Bay Area (Warriors and 49ers respectively) 3. Both were expected to eventually develop into future franchise cornerstones 4. Both were surrounded by elite coaching staffs 5. Both were surrounded by elite rosters 6. Both of the teams that drafted these players never skipped a beat after getting rid of them (well the 49ers never won a Super Bowl but that can be chalked up to other reasons)
Both players also did not play a lot in college, as wiseman only played three games and lance was a starter for only one season. They were picked on what they could become, not in what they were.
Wiseman felt like a BPA pick where the Warriors could’ve gone in various directions due to the situation presented with this draft. Lance was a bad pick overall when QB was further down the priority list for the 49ers (secondary, offensive line, even WR were higher priorities), but they fell into the hype trap of the QB class and it cost them (more so in future drafts as the 1st round picks they gave up could’ve been helpful). They did end up eventually finding their QB later on (Purdy).
One of the people AE credits for his professional growth is Ricky Rubio. In an interview Edwards said Rubio is one of the best teammates he ever played with and he taught him how to be a professional
Rubio taught Edwards the grind and how to keep a schedule on the road Pat Bev taught him to be that Dawg on defense Conley taught him court vision and leadership
It was the Covid year so it affected the draft and a summer league so picking a prospect and developing them off the bat well was non existent Definitely a mixed draft of stars and busts or role players but I’ll give it another year to clearly say that this draft was the worse but right now it’s a weak one
The pandemic period was a hurdle though where a few of the draft picks have been going strongly but could have been better though through some of the respective players' abilities,good friends!!!👍🏾
This was essentially a draft from the 70s, in the modern day. More throwing like darts at the board. Looking at "old" footage. A lot of unknown. No chance for a summer league, or summer prep with your team.
