Hell na y’all crazy, Jalen is a top 5 guy in the league after that playoff run lmao he’s better on defense anyways and still has more offensive talent - not all about trying to sink 35 foot threes
This was way before now and I get that, but this would be my redraft of that list now: 1. Luka 2. SGA 3. Brunson 4. Trae 5. Triple J 6. Mikal Bridges 7. MPJ 8. Simons 9. Huerter 10. Ayton
Funny fact about tis draft. New York's core group of Brunson, Bridges, De Vincenzo and Mitchel Robinson all came from this draft class. But they used their lottery pick on Kevin Knox...
Bro looking back this draft class is superb. What other draft classes can say their whole top ten are solid solid players even brilliant players. All of them have potential to get HOF.
@@rahqoun9735uka, Trae, SGA are locks. They are already franchise players and they'll get plently of all star selections in their careers. For Brunson, Bridges and MPJ it will depend on their career

@@marcusobleness that is true. But like from our viewpoint knowing what happens when Luks doesn't go to the Suns, i think we can all say that'd be pretty weird to see.
As a nuggets fan, can’t blame the bulls much. MPJ was coming off what should’ve been a career ending injury, and he reinjured that same area that “should’ve been” career ending for yet again another career ending injury. He shouldn’t be as durable as he is.
Recency biased trae and jjj have been great since their rookie season jjj won dpoy and trae led his teams to a conf finals brunson only has two great season for now
As a Bulls fan I actually really wanted the Bulls to take MPJ with the 7th pick but I remember the hesitancy because of his back injury. Imo it would’ve been worth the risk, but maybe I’m biased though just because I’m super high on MPJ.
Mpj should have gone 4th on this redraft the fact he fell to the nuggets at 14 was as dumb then as it is now, literally a week before the draft with the injury issues the question was if the kings were gonna take him at 2.
@@daltonfarris just a great shooter, decent defender. Little IQ, no passing, no vision, often injured. I'm actually surprised to see him in the Top 10. If he wasn't on the Nuggets he wouldn't be, he is their worst starter
Well when he actually leads a team to the playoffs, then he can be in the top 5 conversation. He hasn't done it yet. He was unfortunately a 4th option on the Suns for a while.
Brunson now is argubly the second best player in that draft, it is crazy how he was only a roleplayer his first 4 seasons and then two seasons later he is a top 10 player. That is like if Immanuel Quickley next year starts playing like an all-star and the season after he is in consideration for MVP.
Who among SGA, Luka, Trae, JJJ and Brunson are you taking him over? That’s complete 🤡 stuff and you know it and no chance he goes over either of the Bridges or Carter in my opinion they clearly more talented. Ayton, Simons, Sexton, and Rob Williams are debatable depending on how you view their long term upside and MPJs injury outlook
SGA with Fox would be an incredibly fast but terrible shooting backcourt, plus both players need the ball in their hands to be most effective. One would be traded soon after.
@kohsmoger1567 that's debatable, Shai has been in a better situation, franchise-wise, through most of his career. Vlade screwed up Fox's beginning and for the most part, Fox weathered the storm. If LA drafted Fox instead of Ball, we would be having a completely different conversation right now
@@white_will_smith neither are Simmons and MPJ…. They’re ridiculously inconsistent not to mention MPJ’s injuries lmao… Ayton is at least a solidified double double machine who’s a great defender…. Thank god yall aren’t GMs lol
Who take kevin hurtur over miles bridges on the court, miles proven to be all star potentially constantly, and the best player and leader of a winning hornets team which says alot compared to a 20 to 30 win team without him
Not a hot take, people will look back after a full career and have SGA > Luka on these things. Reasons being 1. Shai is a 2 way player 2. He has more game to improve with his 3 point shot
Suns would be worse if you swap Luka for Ayton rn. If Kyrie and Russ have taught you nothing else, constructing a good team isn’t about getting the best players. It’s about building a system and having guys that play their role exceptionally well and buy into that system.
I think trae should go first as even though he wasn’t great this year his team still pushed the Celtics to 6 games and Shai didn’t make the play in. The hawks were also in the eastern conference finals which the thunder have not with shai
Crazy how the Kings would have been perfectly fine had they not moved up or drafted literally anyone else besides Marvin Bagley. Its almost epic how Vlade screwed up that pick😅
Jalen is a lot better franchise point guard then Young, Bridges also a lot more useful for any team in the league, MPJ has shown more franchise value then Trae, Trae is like Randle expected to be a star, bit suphicates his team, if Luka continues he will end up like Trae, so for me he has shown progress he trusts his teammates more and sucess comes right away (but management granted all of his wishes to make this roster)
