Isaiah Collier should use this drop in the draft as the ultimate internal drive to show his worth in Utah! I think this could be a “diamond in the rough” type pick, all comes down to Collier at this point.
I hate saying this because they’re a great franchise right now, but the Milwaukee Bucks should be an honorable mention. Drafting a player who averages 2 points a game instead of a defensive player who can guard the perimeters was not what I expected.

Nah Topic will probably get legitimate touches as a hall handler off the bench. Like besides Isiah Joe, there are no ball handlers; I mean if you think about it Topic is literally way better Josh Giddey. Topic and Chet PNR will be elite IF he gets healthy, and the Thunder are in a great position to swing on a project.
He's not gonna play until next year at best and tbh his knee has already had issues in the past before this acl tear, he already looked slow in the euros if he loses any burst it's hard to see how he'll be able to create space or get to the rim effectively
As a hawks fan im sick of our fan base. Real fans stick with a team no matter what. Our front office has been shaky of course but it isnt the players fault.
I think Zac will fit just fine in Atlanta, the pressure is definitely there but that would’ve been the same for any #1 overall getting placed into a decent team. He has the pieces around him and the guards for him to succeed imo
@AndrewFenichel as Heat fan I wanted us to draft Dalton Knecht so I don’t know how to feel about this pick so how do you feel about the Heat getting Kel’el Ware? Ik you had him in your sleepers of the draft
Hornets looked to trade back to 9th but got some intel that the Spurs would draft Salaun. In return, the spurs decided to trade the pick with their guy out of the board.
Hornets fan here and disagree with the Tidjane take. At first I was surprised too, but he’s a high risk high reward player. He fills up our gap at the 4 and gives us shooting and defense - two things we needed. Also, he’s only 18 so there’s a lot of time to develop. I wanted Knecht, but this guy can be good for us. I don’t want to criticize cause look what happened with Bmill.
He was who the hornets wanted and also who the spurs wanted so the hornets couldn’t trade back with the grizzlies to take him cuz the spurs would have taken him the pick before. Overall like the idea of the pick and hope it works out
Bmill was always a good pick compared to a short guard who can't shoot. You gotta be amazing to have success with the Scoot archetype. Anyway, hopefully it pans out for the Hornets, would be nice to see them being less poverty one of these decades
There is a reason while all of those teams passed on Collier. Dont think he is as good or is as big of a steal as people make it too be. Not saying he wont succeed ofc but there is definitely a chance he will fail. Hopefully he succeeds.
I think its hard to say who's the losers of the draft yet, i was looking through the top 10 and really the only guy i see starting is Sarr. The hawks have Johnson Hunter Bey and Bojan all 4 guys can play the positions that rissacher wants to play, he might be better or worse off the bench who knows. Going further down Reed isn't gonna start, Castle isn't as he cant shoot and isn't really a pg, Hilland could but Ausar was really good idk theyre weird, Salaun depends on what happens with Miles, Clingan really depends in grant/Rob Will health and could start alongside ayton, Dillingham is gonna be off the bench, Edey might start but he probably can't play very long since he probably wont be able to keep up with faster teams and i think cody williams wont start as Hendricks should be the starter over him and im p sure hes better as a sf in the league
Def confused by that OKC pick. We just traded Giddey, Just to get a younger, Injury prove version of Giddey, Was really hoping we'd try and get some size at least.
I personally like the Topic pick. He’s a more athletic version of giddey and has high potential. Would have been a top 4 pick if it wasn’t for the injury. He’s got time to develop in okc like Chet.
How is he “an injury prone Giddey” when he was a really reliable FT shooter while also being an elite finisher? You can’t compare him to the worst rim finisher of the league just because of his size and role, they share nothing in common
Don’t love the Holland fit given the lack of shooting everywhere in that roster but I’m a fan of Holland the player. So def not making the Pistons a loser
I still think it was kinda stupid for the thunder to pick Nikola Topić because, like you said, he plays similar to Josh Giddey, we also could’ve drafted some big like kel’el ware
Topic is literal risk free, a player with a potential that they can help nurse thru an injury. If this pick dont work the thunder have a dozen more picks. Maybe its not the best for his development but its not bad for OKC
This is the most unknown draft I’ve ever seen in my life. I didn’t know one player in this draft besides LeBron James son not even kidding like I don’t even know who the number one overall is never seen him hold a basketball.
Agree with all except Topic. Topic actually gets to join a team that he can take his time and rest his ACL. Nobody at pick 12 was going to help us win now, might as well have some insurance down the road if things go south. Caruso is gone after next year, Topic can easily slide into his minutes.
This isn’t true they’re players that can help okc now and also that same argument can be said for topic,what says he can help okc. okc are planning on resigning carsuo the reason okc draft topic because they wanted another ball handler like giddey because they didn’t want to trade giddey they wanted him off the bench but giddy refuse so they drafted giddey 2.0
My hornets with another wild take, wasting another lottery pick… the rebuild is never going to get finished by this point… why draft a wing when we already have Brandon miller…
I think he’s gonna slot in at PF, we still gotta figure out the miles bridges situation so either he’s thrown into the fire or develops behind bridges, if they do want him at sf tho worst case bmill slides to SG or salaun comes off the bench
topic game is not similar to giddey his rim attacking numbers are on par of ja morant at murray state and a sign of a elite gaurd prospect is how well they pressure the rim he’s also a great athlete
Collier looks like a winner I can see him rising but Risacher as the number 1 pick is a bust I can already see it. This guy didn’t score but seven points in the average in his league. What is he going to do in the NBA?
I also think Johnny Furphy was a loser, he should’ve been drafted in the first round, he’s a good player with a great shooting ability who I believe should’ve went above some of these guys.
Can anyone explain too me how good this Alex Sarr guy is didnt really do that much research at him looking at his stats not that convinced but stats are not the full story especially in this case and his potential is very high.
He's kinda just a stereotypical stretch 5 guy. Nothing really super special about him. Good size, good defense, not amazing offense but has upside. He would probably feature in the late lottery or mid 20s of a normal draft, this year is just very iffy.
Really think Kel’el Ware to the Heat wasn’t the move here, and this is coming from a Heat fan. He’s what we’re looking for in a center to back up Bam, but man. Dalton Knecht felt like such a Heat player.
It's a great pick you could start him at the 5 to make Bam play his natural position at the 4 and Ware can rim protect and make threes which siginifigantly helps out
Topic is insurance. No guarantees Shai stays forever if they can't win. it is a weird pick in that he can take his time to heal but then won't be able to fully develop behind Shai, but the Giddey comparison is not that accurate.
Actually kinda like the salaun pick he has high potential and will Have a chance to show it in Charlotte and topic is basically just Josh giddy and if you think of it it means they just got Caruso for free
@@AndrewFenichel that's not true after 22/23 he was called the best player in the 21' draft he had a bad playoffs this year because he couldn't shoot but if they use topic just as a creator with Caruso helping with the defense it could work
This is disappointing take from you Andrew. The hornets tried repeatedly to trade back and ultimately Portland and Memphis didn’t give in. Portland ultimately decided to call the hornets bluff, cuz as a hornets fan I’m 90% sure we were never taking Clingan. And the Grizzlies ultimately prob didn’t have Clingan much higher than they did Zach Edey on their draft board so losing out on Clingan didn’t mean much. So what was the Charlotte FO supposed to do? If there’s no option for a trade back, just take your guy.
Looking at some peoples opinions. I feel like Topic is the most underrated draft pick at the moment. Player with the highest potential upside that was available (there was a reason he was mocked top 3/5 before his injury). While he isn't a great shooter atm he does provide rim pressure which is something they lack outside of Shai and JDub and he's also a great passer. People will make the comparison to Giddey like it's a bad thing, but the Thunder genuinely wanted to keep Giddey but he didn't want to come off the bench in a contract year. Red shirting for a year gives him time to fully heal from his injury and work with the coaching staff before getting his opportunity when the Thunder likely have to move off a bench player due to cap constraints. While with the Thunder he is unlikely to reach his absolute highest potential but it wouldn't surprise me if they think he can become a major contributor in the playoffs at some point (playing 20-30 minutes a game) which they might felt no-one else that was available at #12 was capable of doing that.
Hornets fan here. We tried to trade back. Portland didn’t want to and neither did Memphis, San Antonio or the jazz lol. If you don’t like who we picked at 6, that’s fine, but brother we tried to trade that damn pick 4 times lol. This draft was a crap shoot, so nobody really wanted to trade up for anything.
No cap Let’s Get it Hawks Nation tbh tho I think that He was a Good pick up for us he has size,he can play defense and shoot and he has size that gives us more size on our Squad
Is it just me or does buddy seem to be an okc hater 🤔 I don't I've heard him say anything positive or even neutral about them boys, reminds me of Colin cowherd during the Westbrook era lol
I believe that risacher will not feel so pressured. He is one of the top 6 players in his draft class!!! 🏀 ATL selected him cuz he is a good player and a good fit not every draft has generation talent
So the same thing can be said for sarr is he went to the hawks so was the hawks really losers or you just think he shouldn’t be first pick cuz he was projected high
bad take on nikola topic they got a great talent for hella cheap in the 12th pick. they obviously wont need him for the next year so it doesnt matter that hes out and he has great playmaking which is not bad for their roster.
Ayton still catching strays 😭
I can’t lie I said the same thing as soon as Portland drafted Donovan Clingan I said goodbye Deandre Ayton 😂
Right he said he a back up center on a bad team I think he would be a great back up center who plays valuable minutes
Portland drafting Clingan was a spitting in the face of Ayton, both sides probably want to go separate ways now

Wanted the Mavs to trade into the end of 1st round for Filipowski and thought for sure NY would get him w one of the back to back picks
Collier was drafted 29th btw, not 27th
In every 'losers' list there is always a True Dog almost them
I hope we trade capela
Keep Onyeka and Hunter and Johnson
Hopefully keep both trae and dejoutae
If needed trade capela for a 3 and d pf or center
Im a nuggets fan so im just wondering what did you think about who the nuggets drafted? Deron Holmes ll
That’s me
I couldn’t even hear you say, “Know” at the end of the video. Subtitles do help.
Topic is amazing
If Zacchare Risacher is a loser for coming into Atlanta, then Alex Sarr is also a loser.
This is disappointing take from you Andrew. The hornets tried repeatedly to trade back and ultimately Portland and Memphis didn’t give in. Portland ultimately decided to call the hornets bluff, cuz as a hornets fan I’m 90% sure we were never taking Clingan. And the Grizzlies ultimately prob didn’t have Clingan much higher than they did Zach Edey on their draft board so losing out on Clingan didn’t mean much. So what was the Charlotte FO supposed to do? If there’s no option for a trade back, just take your guy.
Looking at some peoples opinions. I feel like Topic is the most underrated draft pick at the moment. Player with the highest potential upside that was available (there was a reason he was mocked top 3/5 before his injury). While he isn't a great shooter atm he does provide rim pressure which is something they lack outside of Shai and JDub and he's also a great passer.
People will make the comparison to Giddey like it's a bad thing, but the Thunder genuinely wanted to keep Giddey but he didn't want to come off the bench in a contract year. Red shirting for a year gives him time to fully heal from his injury and work with the coaching staff before getting his opportunity when the Thunder likely have to move off a bench player due to cap constraints.
While with the Thunder he is unlikely to reach his absolute highest potential but it wouldn't surprise me if they think he can become a major contributor in the playoffs at some point (playing 20-30 minutes a game) which they might felt no-one else that was available at #12 was capable of doing that.
We all know who Andrews favorite fan is now 🙄
I actually fell to the floor when the bucks didn’t take Collier
Hornets fan here. We tried to trade back. Portland didn’t want to and neither did Memphis, San Antonio or the jazz lol.
If you don’t like who we picked at 6, that’s fine, but brother we tried to trade that damn pick 4 times lol. This draft was a crap shoot, so nobody really wanted to trade up for anything.
No cap Let’s Get it Hawks Nation tbh tho I think that He was a Good pick up for us he has size,he can play defense and shoot and he has size that gives us more size on our Squad
Hate to say this but alongside from Marvin Bagley, DeAndre Ayton is a bust.
Suns & Kings passed on Luka & Trae Young respectively
I think the Spurs only decided to trade the 8th pick after Salaun came off the board. I could be completely wrong, but I think they were interested.
Is it just me or does buddy seem to be an okc hater 🤔 I don't I've heard him say anything positive or even neutral about them boys, reminds me of Colin cowherd during the Westbrook era lol
I believe that risacher will not feel so pressured. He is one of the top 6 players in his draft class!!! 🏀 ATL selected him cuz he is a good player and a good fit not every draft has generation talent
So the same thing can be said for sarr is he went to the hawks so was the hawks really losers or you just think he shouldn’t be first pick cuz he was projected high
The Utah Jazz took Isaiah Collier at 29 not 27. They also got Kyle Filipowski at 32 . . . What a bargain that was for them.
There is nothing bad about a player that’s “never gonna start” for a team out of THIS draft class. This is a role player draft.
Talk about the lakers drafting bronny
bad take on nikola topic they got a great talent for hella cheap in the 12th pick. they obviously wont need him for the next year so it doesnt matter that hes out and he has great playmaking which is not bad for their roster.
