Last year there were 4-5 stud prospects. I was all in on the Jalen Green bandwagon last year. I still think that he will be a better player than Cade. I think Green and Barnes are going to be the two best players of their class.

Yeah I'm still optimistic on Suggs too. It was a good draft.

i have no idea how he shot so inefficiently last year. he was not a great jump shooter but was not awful at in college either. he does everything else well and has all the intangibles, if he can develop a passable jumper he'll be pretty damn good i think.

Not to beat a dead horse but it's amazing the athletic centres that will be available in the 2nd round (in a weak draft). "In my day" we had even unathletic centers going top 10 - Podkolzine, Bargnani, Kaman, Hoffa, the list goes on - and now you've got athletic specimens that get their head up to the rim on lobs and blocks and can really move and have a chance at keeping up to the pace and space of the modern game (just minus the shooting range) there for the taking in the 2nd round.
Incredible how the game has changed so fast.

John Wooden foresaw this, decades ago:
Quotes FROM John Wooden:
“Quickness under control is the most valuable physical aspect of any sport”
"As much as I value experience, and I value it greatly, I'd rather have a lot of skill (speed & quickness) and little experience than a lot of experience and little skill."
“Perhaps in my coaching experience, I found out from my own personal playing experience that I didn't have as much size as many, but I was quicker than most all, and that was my strength. So, in my recruiting, in all the years when I became a college coach, I'm recruiting for quickness. Now, you want a certain amount of size, but more coaches will give up some quickness to get more size. I would not. I would give up some size to get more quickness.
I hoped my forwards would be quicker than opposing forwards. I hoped that my guards would be quicker than opposing guards. I hoped my postmen would be quicker than opposing postmen. And, that's what I'm looking for, and then I'm trying to incorporate that in making it into a team game.”
