18 year old 6,8 guard/forward.

Stats in Spanish league ACB, arguably domestic 2nd best league in the world

11 min. 7 points. .577 fg % .500 3pfg % 85.7% FT

Much better efficiency stats in better competition than most of the international prospects we are talking about. He could end up being a lottery pick

This might be a hot take, but I think Jaylen wells, COULD win ROTY this season. Averaging 8,3,2 this season, and just got the starting nod while Marcus smart is out. Currently has 10 at half time as the grizzlies are blowing the bucks out.

I can potentially see him averaging like 13,5,3 if he keeps getting playing time, and I honestly think those are good enough numbers to win ROTY this season. What do y'all think?

Assuming Atlanta has a season from hell and their pick, along with San Antonio's, is in the top 5 (and neither of CHI or CHA picks convey) What should the Spurs do? Their roster is already very young and adding two more rookies might be counterproductive. Does cap consideration come into play for the GM? They are controlled contracts now, but when that bill comes due it will be substantial. Do they trade one or both for a star who can contribute right away? Should they draft 1 and trade back or for more future draft capital?

This is a strong draft class so there are plenty of options. I was curious what other people thought?

I know they are not in the same draft class but as someone with a very basic knowledge of scouting.They seem quite similar as tall wings who score the ball a lot. So I wanted know what are the similarities and differences that differentiate them as prospects.

I just seen an espn post showing the top 100 College basketball player and seen that cooper Flagg was ranked first, my question is if Zach edey was still playing college ball do you think he would be better than cooper or not

Kyshawn George: 11/2/4 with 3 steals (50/20/no FTs)

Alex Sarr: 11/5/2 with 1 steal and 4 blocks (33/40/75)

Bub Carrington: 16/6/6, 2 turnovers (62/50/100)

Bonus Bilal Coulibaly: 27/9/1 with 3 steals and 1 block (78/60/100)

Prior to the last two games, Ulm had a rough stretch of a few consecutive losses, mainly because of that long trip to Portland in a middle of a brutal schedule.

Anyway, I REALLY like how Ben has looked in the last two games. He displayed a few stuff I wanted to see off him like finishing with a two handed dunk while blowing by his defender (in the previews game), or finishing twice with his off hand (in today's EuroCup game against a few ex NBA players).

https://x.com/spel81/status/1851733126743232837

• 1- Cooper Flagg (SF/PF)- Brooklyn Nets; Nets I have them as my team who wins the Draft Lottery therefore they win the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes; Flagg out of Duke is going to Brooklyn as Brooklyn gets themselves a star for this rebuild to build around as Cam Thomas, Nic Claxton and the crew get themselves a star

• 2- Dylan Harper (PG/SG)- Washington Wizards; Wizards go with Harper at #2 overall getting themselves a guard who can not only play point but also play off ball as a shooting guard; great defense and coming from a defensive bloodline with his dad being Ron Harper Sr who played with the Bulls Dynasty and the Lakers dynasty; Dylan goes to Washington to pair up with Jordan Poole, Kyle Kuzma, Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly and those boys in Washington

• 3- Ace Bailey (SG/SF)- Portland Trail Blazers; Ace Bailey ends up in Portland alongside that young core of Scoot, Simons, Shaedon, Grant, Clingan and Ayton I think Portland may be the best place for him but if that happens Portland may have to move on from some players to make room for Ace

• 4- VJ Edgecombe (SG/SF)- Detroit Pistons; Pistons get Edgecombe here at 4th overall; Cade & Ivey are solidified at the point and shooting guard positions so no need to move on from them; Ausar Thompson you can move him to power forward once you bring Edgecombe in who can play small forward and Jalen Duren at the center spot the Pistons would then have a young core you can build around

• 5- Nolan Traore (PG)- Utah Jazz; Jazz go point guard here taking Traore at #5 overall; makes it easier to move on from Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson as you move off both players and you also get rid of John Collins; then your rebuild can truly begin

• 6- Kasparas Jakucionis (PG/SG/SF)- Chicago Bulls; Kasparas in my mock draft shoots up all the way to #6 in my mock draft as he ends up in Chicago as a Bull; Swiss army knife who can play the point or shooting guard or even small forward; that means in Chicago you may have to get rid of Zach Lavine and Lonzo Ball; then you can focus the rebuild around Josh Giddey, Coby White, Kasparas Jakucionis, Matas Buzelis, Patrick Williams and company in Chicago

• 7- Khaman Malauch (C)- Toronto Raptors; Raptors here at #7 go big and take Malauch out of Duke University; Raptors not only need a center but one who can block shots, rim protect and has a high motor; gives you defense and here you can move on from Jakob Poeltl...focusing on your youth with Quickley, Barrett, Dick, Barnes and then add Malauch to that core then Toronto isn't as worse off

• 8- Liam McNeeley (SF)- Charlotte Hornets; Hornets go with McNeeley at 8th overall as he's a marksman who can shoot the 3 ball; he would be a great compliment next to LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller

• 9- Tre Johnson (SG)- San Antonio Spurs; he goes 9th overall to the Spurs in this mock of mine

• 10- Ben Saraf (PG/SG)- San Antonio Spurs via Atlanta Hawks; Spurs go back to back to picks and take Saraf here at 10th overall due to the Dejounte Murray trade

• 11- Collin Murray-Boyles (PF)- OKC Thunder via Los Angeles Clippers; CMB goes 11th overall to the Thunder as they get this pick as a result of the Paul George trade

• 12- Egor Demin (PG/SG)- Atlanta Hawks via Los Angeles Lakers

• 13- Kon Knueppel (SG/SF)- OKC Thunder via Houston Rockets

• 14- Hugo Gonzalez (SG/SF)- Miami Heat; Heat get to keep their pick here at 14th overall and I just have them in this range of picks so their pick doesn't go to the OKC Thunder as they take Gonzalez out of Spain

• 15- Ian Jackson (SG)- Golden State Warriors; Warriors here at 15 take Jackson

• 16- Jalil Bethea (SG)- New Orleans Pelicans

• 17- Rocco Zikarsky (C)- Atlanta Hawks via Sacramento Kings; due to the Kevin Huerter trade

• 18- Drake Powell (SG)- Memphis Grizzlies

• 19- Boogie Fland (PG/SG)- Indiana Pacers

• 20- Zvonimir Ivisic (C)- Orlando Magic

• 21- JT Toppin (SF/PF)- Utah Jazz via Cleveland Cavaliers; as a result of the Donovan Mitchell trade; Obi's brother is going to Utah

• 22- Michael Ruzic (PF/C)- Dallas Mavericks

• 23- Donnie Freeman (SF/PF)- Houston Rockets via Phoenix Suns

• 24- Dink Pate (SG)- Orlando Magic via Denver Nuggets

• 25- Alex Karaban (SF/PF)- Brooklyn Nets via Milwaukee Bucks

• 26- Hunter Sallis (SG)- OKC Thunder via Philadelphia 76ers

• 27- Noa Essengue (SF/PF)- Utah Jazz via Minnesota Timberwolves

• 28- Asa Newell (PF/C)- Brooklyn Nets via New York Knicks; as a result of the Mikal Bridges trade

• 29- Jarin Stevenson (PF)- Brooklyn Nets via OKC Thunder

• 30- Kwame Evans Jr (SF/PF)- Boston Celtics

I am curious what most people projected of him when it comes to leaning more Offensive/Defensive as a prospect leading up to the 2022 draft.

• 2- Dylan Harper (PG/SG)- Washington Wizards; Wizards get their point guard who can also play shooting guard; with his NBA bloodline being the son of Ron Harper Sr who is a legend who played with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman in Chicago; his son is a better prospect especially if he's being taken here at #2; pro comparisons are Coby White, Jalen Brunson and James Harden

• 3- Ace Bailey (SG/SF)- Portland Trail Blazers; Blazers with the 3rd pick get Ace Bailey who is not only big time in terms of his potential and ceiling but Portland would be the best situation for him to be drafted to especially with that young core of Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, DeAndre Ayton, Donovan Clingan and company; pro comparisons are Tracy McGrady and Brandon Miller

• 4- VJ Edgecombe (SG)- Detroit Pistons; Pistons here at 4 get Edgecombe and with his pro comparisons being Shaedon Sharpe and Victor Oladipo how can you not want him?

• 5- Nolan Traore (PG)- Utah Jazz; Jazz get themselves a point guard for the future who they can build around; moves Keyonte George over to shooting guard; along with Cody Williams at the small forward spot; Markkanen at power forward and Kessler at center the Jazz would have a pretty young interesting core; move on from players like Sexton, Clarkson and John Collins (pro comparison being Lonzo Ball)

• 6- Drake Powell (SG)- Chicago Bulls; Bulls get another shooting guard and that means Zach Lavine may be on his way out in Chicago if that happens along with Lonzo Ball; Powell then can play alongside Coby White and Josh Giddey; start the rebuild in Chicago (pro comparisons being Herb Jones and Will Barton)

• 7- Kon Knueppel (SG/SF)- Charlotte Hornets (pro comparison being Wally Szcerzbiak); Knueppel being a shooter and marksman; Charlotte may be the perfect place for him

• 8- Kasparas Jakucionis (PG/SG/SF)- Toronto Raptors; pro comparison being Spencer Dinwiddie but with Kasparas out of Lithuania seeing this kid play; he is talented and can play either point or shooting guard or hell even small forward that's how unique this kid is

• 14- Egor Demin (PG/SG/SF)- Golden State Warriors; another kid who can play 3 position basketball but a kid out of Europe who is also talented; put him in a system like Golden State with guys like Steph and with a coach like Kerr, you can get the best out of him; pro comparisons being Hedo Turkoglu, Jalen Rose and Anthony Black

• 15- Noa Essengue (PF)- OKC Thunder via Miami Heat; pro comparisons being Precious Achiuwa and Jabari Walker

• 16- Boogie Fland (PG)- New Orleans Pelicans; pro comparison being Darius Garland; Pelicans get a point guard for the future

Realistically how many picks would Sam Presti have to give up including the clippers likely lottery pick to draft cooper Flagg?

As a Mississippi State Alumni, our sports teams can be pretty depressing and have really been devoid of NBA talent since we had that one season of Rodney Hood (and kind of Robert Woodard, but never panned out), but Hubbard is an exciting player. Had one of the more interesting under the radar seasons as a sub 6' extreme gunner.

He has the playstyle and body type that small guards need to have to be succesfull in the NBA, but he has to get a lot better on defense as a tough disruptor that his body type should allow him to be. Is anyone buying Hubbard stock? Obviously he isnt a 2025 prospect, but in 2027 he could be an interesting 4 year prospect.
