2021 NBA Draft Safari

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I saw people on the Reddit NBAdraft forum today arguing and critiquing him for his efficiency. After TWO GAMES. I’m all for people who know how to analyze numbers to evaluate players doing it, but two freaking games is not a sample size hahaha

I'd generally agree with this line of thinking, but the film also suggests that he may be an inefficient offensive player. Seems like he forces up a lot of tough, tough shots. I know Kentucky has a bad team by their standards this year, but they should've been able to get higher quality looks against Richmond. Not sure Boston is the kind of player the Cavs should be after.
 
I know I'm late to the party but...

Dang, I wish the Cavs haven't drafted/signed 25 guards the last few years.. Jalen Suggs is going to be ultra special. I'm seeing a better shooting/facilitating Westbrook.

You know what that means?

This season is all about boosting Garland's value and even Sexton's aswell.. you know to cover all options. Give them 40 shots each.

On defensive possessions have Okoro put on a Garland mask and vice versa and hope for the best.
 
Jaylen Green is the best player in this draft.
 
It's early, but my first impression is that this may be the kind of draft with 4-6 elite prospects at the top and then a big dropoff.

Way to early to say... I would say wait about 8 to 10 weeks to make that statement. A ton of guys in the g league that need to be seen. Give those guys some time to play before making judgments. They are still several weeks away from action.

some Guys will raise their stock and some lower. With covid it will take more time to play games too. But unless the class falls off the cliff, it is going to be remarkably better then last year from top to bottom.

Kinda basing it on two things:

1. 1-and-dones seem like a mixed bag. Not in a bad way...there are definitely some really good options unlike last year, and I think those guys will really separate themselves from the pack.

2. I don't see a whole lot of strength internationally, or in returning college players. That also points to a draft that may be strong in the top half of the lottery but shaky after that.

Yeah my point was it is too early to know what pick the drop off will start. Guys like Greg Brown may make huge leaps in the next few months. Still a lot of raw players that will require several months of sample size to see what type of prospects they truly are.
We have no idea how good the guys in the new G league select team will be either. That along with covid makes it premature to say where the drop off point is.
 
Ziaire Williams making his debut for Stanford now on ESPN2 vs. Bama. Nothing but net on his first three. Looks like he has a super smooth game...
