Miles Bridges would probably be my top choice right now outside of the top 5-7 or whatever. I can see him being a star player for sure. I like Williams potential a lot. I like what I’ve seen from Diallo at Kentucky.

Gotta watch some more.

Don’t see why this Robert Williams guy is a top prospect. Doesn’t start and doesn’t seem to do much.

I understand now. Guy has potential to be an absolute monster on the defensive end in the NBA.

yeah he was really impressive today. I have read motivation seems to be an issue for him. But def has a ton of potential

He’s especially a very intriguing option to play next to Markkanen.

The motivation stuff seems to have some merit but my mind is made up. I want him to be a Bull.


His comp on NBAdraft.net is Stromile Swift

:lol:

Ouch. Don’t care. I like what I saw today. I’ll be interested in watching him next round.

Bridges also checks all the GarPax "Boxes". They are the sames guys who would fawn over a 12 year old dominating on a Pinto little league team.

So you think he won’t be a good pro?

I have no idea, but don't usually the best players leave after 1 year? He has stayed extra twice now. Is his production a result of just having more experience than most?

I don’t even know what his production is. I just heard he was a 1st round prospect and kept an eye on him. I like the way he plays. I think he will be a good pro.

:lol: I've got Miles Bridges and Williams as the two guys most likely to bust in the top half of the draft. Bridges is too small for PF and can't dribble so how is he gonna play the wing? Good athlete, but stiff ball handler, can't beat anyone off the dribble. Williams looks good when he's trying which is about 50% of the time. Doesn't have any actual basketball skills, still is at his best when he's playing a pure energy guy role.

Diallo's game the other night was far and away his best game of the year. He's been getting worse as the season went on. I assume you only saw him play this weekend so probably not a good sample size to judge by since his previous 2 months were crap.

I’ll accept that except for the Bridges comments. I just think you’re flat out wrong. He’s got a sweet stroke, NBA body, isn’t afraid to attack, can move laterally defensively. He’s going to be a good nba player.

he can't dribble. That's a bit of a problem for a wing player. Even heard an announcer talk about it earlier this year, said he was a one dribble player meaning that he could only take one dribble left or right and then he either had to pull up for a jumper or dish it out to a teammate. I've watched about 15 of his games this year and I can count on 3 fingers the number of times I saw him dribble drive and beat someone one on one to the hole.

I think you’re definitely overestimating that. We’ll see.
