Poll: 2021 NBA Draft

[Vipra]

If Keon, Davion, Bouknight, or Moses etc are in your top three (however unlikely that is), do mention that in a comment.

Interesting that no love for Kuminga yet!

Is this top 3 overall, or top 3 for the Cavaliers? Who we think will be the top 3 picks, or who we think will have the 3 best careers?

Top three overall - we don't know yet where we are gonna pick. We all "believe in omens," and the Tankathon simulation has given me mostly #1 and #2 for the Cavs this time
Who are the top three in your draft big board?

 

[daddywags]

Cunningham, Green and Suggs.

It is Mobley or Cade 1 2 imo and then you can take you're pick of the others they are all about the same upside.
I think there is a chance someone like Kuminga or Barnes ends up being the best player in this draft though

Cade
Mobley
Green

Not who *I* think will be the 3 best, but who I think will be the top 3 picks.

Mobley, Green, Suggs have definitely separated themselves from the prep pack. Haven't seen enough Sengun yet.

I think if anything Suggs revealed the holes in his draft stock on a larger stage at the end in addition to being surrounded by what was a highly efficient team even without him all season .imo has has been showing he lacks what it takes as a shooter immediately for some time now compared to more proven older options like Mitchell. Suggs is a solid floor manager with special athleticism but he is far from a top 3 shoe in

Not sure what holes Suggs revealed.

He played really well throughout the tournament. Unfortunately, nobody else on Gonzaga (mainly Timme and Kispert) was up to the task against Baylor.

I agree he's not a shoo-in for the top 3. Some team is going to take Cunningham up there, which I believe is a big mistake.

yeah as far as Cade big playmaking wings are the future of the league and his lack of burst should be concerning but lets face it his teammates were trash at spreading the floor so he gets a pass for taking and making contested outside shots all season with a clogged paint and still managing to create assists at a high level. Just think about how much better he would have been surrounded by the team Suggs had around him.
imo Suggs went viral exploding onto the college scene making a ridiculous % of shots at the rim highlight dunks etc and did a solid job of using his athletic power to draw attn and create open looks for knock down shooters all season but was not one himself at all when they were choking. Unless you think he called glass in the final 4.
I just think a player like Springer might have just as much upside and so my opinion of Suggs is more sober than most.

That's untrue

Also untrue

I'm just curious how Suggs was "exposed" by shooting over 50% from the floor and over 40% on 3's in the Elite 8-Final 4-Finals while averaging almost 20 ppg while Cade gets a pass for shooting 9-34 from the floor and 6-19 from deep with just 4 assists and 5 turnovers against Liberty and Oregon State.

I disagree with the idea that Cade had decent shooters around him have no idea why you claim its untrue. Cade couldnt get it done in the tournament on his own either in fact Suggs got by like he usually does with better teammates and it was not until his teammates failed that the Zags finally lost proving he had less to do with them winning than people think.

So, it's Suggs' fault that his playing well wasn't enough for his team to win in the national championship game, but Cade gets a pass for playing like dog shit in the early rounds against lesser teams?

OK State was a really talented team. Cade flat out isn't a PG, he was just miscast and masquerading as one. He's a good shooter, but that's all he brings to the table.

People are sleeping on Green in this poll... Long term I think he'll be the best player out of this class (and I think this class will produce several All-Stars in the future)
