    Neither CJ nor Dame are that tiny. They're closer in size to Isaiah Rider than Isaiah Thomas, but definitely comparable to Isiah Thomas.

    It's not the size, it's the skill. People forget how fucking amazing Isiah was, mainly because he's a total dick.

    Top-3 guy.

    Way out of reach. He is my favorite prospect in this draft - shades of Porzingis.

    It's hard to find a comparison for Sabonis.

    He has the build of Joel Freeland with a skillset similar to Steven Adams - but neither have his drive or feel.

    I don't think so. Mchale had Pau Gasol length. Different styles.

    Probably end up going #1 if you ask me. Lot of time left, but this kid looks great.

    Watching those videos, Simmons looked like a cross between LBJ and Griffin. His decision-making wasn't particularly great. But he's an alpha. Would love to have the chance to draft him.

    Skal has a nice touch. But he looks like Curry stretched out to 7' tall. Maybe a bit like Gobert? Wonder how he'll do playing against players who equal him in height and outweigh him by 50 pounds. The guys he was playing against were shit.

    Made that LeBron comp earlier.

    I hate that I'm falling for Simmons so quickly. I'm gonna be so biased for him once June 2016 rolls around.

    Simmons plays like an aggressive Batum

    This is looking to be an awesome draft. If you're going to be bad, this is the year to be bad.
