off the top of my head I think that Dee Brown went to Jacksonville State. I could be wrong. But remember where NBA players went to college is my forte.
Are you insinuating Flagg is Oden and Harper is Durant? Are you suggesting we draft Harper with the #1 pick should we win the lottery?
Even if we miss out on Flagg, I’d be so excited to pair Harper and Shaedon, with Deni at the 3. There are so many riches in the upcoming draft, just keep losing!
Backing up Harper, and hopefully adding a shot and better feel for the game so we have an amazing guard rotation.
More I read/study this draft and listen to others starting to think it's a good draft at the top 8-12 (give or take for now) and then drops off quite a bit - we'll see how that looks/changes in a few months.
@PtldPlatypus I’m not sure who Nic is, but I have the same amount of followers as him……what if I told you the 4 advanced NBA scouts I’ve talked to in the past few weeks said It’s a no brainer that Flagg is going #1. Just curious your thoughts. Harper is damn good though.
I disagree. I think we are just fine with say, the 6th or 7th pick in the draft. What we REALLY need is a SECOND 1st rounder this year. I feel like it absolutely needs to happen. But I’m also setting myself up for disappointment.
I find myself thinking the same thing. I really see the vision of what the team is trying to build with the length and switch-ability. The two guys we’ve put our hopes into are taking a bit to develop, and I’m fine with that. Having a guy who can come in and light it up though would do wonders for this team. I imagine that if we ever end up using Deni as a 6M for good with his hustle and energy, pairing him with shot makers would also be like Manu running those Spurs bench units.
This is always likely to be the case, because Flagg's dominance is defensive and he's a bit of a project offensively, so he's kind of harder to sell to the fanbase of a shitty team. He's a player that any great team would love to have because he's sort of a role-player on steroids. Basically he's a lot like Evan Mobley, who is clearly a better player than Cade Cunningham (who is a lot like Dylan Harper) or Jalen Green, but a lot harder to sell as your new Franchise Player. But I bet you if you pressed them most scouts would (currently) say that Flagg is going to be the best player down the road. What would be super funny is if Flagg decided to stay in college more than one year, AKA Tim Duncan-ing.
