    Saying this for years
    Going to go out there right now and say that I think in six or seven years there's a very good chance we are saying Anthony Edwards is more of a transcendent talent than Zion Williamson, and I think James Wiseman might be a better NBA player by that point, too.

    It's no secret I never have been sold on Zion at the next level. But Edwards looks to me like a guy who is a great college player whose game translates to being an even better pro. I look at Wiseman and I think he's a post on the level of Embiid.

    Now, beyond that, I think the 2019 draft will prove better in overall depth. I think Nassir Little is going to turn out better than at least a couple of top-10 picks in 2020 -- heck, he might even have stayed a lottery pick if he was a college freshman this year and had the same kind of season he had as an actual frosh in 2019. But I think the very top of the draft is going to be better in 2020.

    "Haliburton’s individual numbers for Team USA this summer wouldn’t surprise anyone who followed him at Iowa State. He was ninth on the team in scoring (7.9 points per game), but was first in 2-point percentage (85.0), 3-point percentage (55.0), minutes (24.7), assists (6.9), and assist-to-turnover ratio (6.9-to-1); second in steals (2.3); and fourth in blocks (0.7)."

    My boy Haliburton!!!! Couldn't lead us to a victory today, but the kid is good. He is soooooo long and just affects the game in so many non-stat related ways. I would love to see him next to Dame.
