draft

.net, but we'll add some from other outlets, we'll do about five of the last three drafts, so let's start by going to 2020, where we definitely had some good ones. starting from the top.

I think we have to continue. With James Wiseman uncredited, they didn't get too aggressive with the Wiseman comparison, they decided to make a DeAndre Jordan comparison, but I think it's safe to say they missed the mark, DeAndre Jordan, well you wouldn't really have the same value. modern play was a dominant pick and roll threat in one of the League's Elite Rim protectors. James Wiseman, on the other hand, has yet to do anything on the NBA court other than the occasional stretches of empty statistics his struggles on defense have sent him back and forth among the G League.

I still think there is a bright future for in front of. I just don't get the feeling he's going to be in the A Warrior uniform.

It's been a lot of fun lately as they have been having tons of promotions due to the holiday season. Have you followed our last entry with the help of our free square we reached a x10 and today I am looking to achieve it consecutively.

We have a small NBA roster, but I still really like some squares. I'm going with Bradley Beal's points, since he got there last. five to get some correlation, I'll combine that with Monte Morris' assist and then swap in Jones' rebounds, since he's also gotten there in four of the last five. I'm also throwing a Square soccer ball with Trevor Lawrence. passing yards tonight as it's only 2 13 which seems too low for a guy who has over 300 in the last two games. All this happens.

Thank you, Biggs Prize, for sponsoring today's video. The next draft pick probably had the most ridiculous comparison and that was Lamelo's comparison to Sean Livingston. Well, yes, they both have very similar structures. They really couldn't be much more different as Livingston players never reached double digits in singles scoring. season in his entire career he made a whopping 13 triples lamelo had hit 13 triples in a couple of weeks of his NBA career he has become one of the best young point guards in the League this year although he has not played too many games he is averaging 23 points and seven assists shooting 40 from 3 on 11 attempts, a game that puts him on pace to beat Livingston's career three-pointers, every three games he plays is crazy, so we have some players that have really broken out this season, 12th overall.

Kings pick Tyrese Hallibur entered the draft and was viewed as a low-resolution, low-reward prospect, leading to comparisons to none other than Dante Exum, a former top hog who averaged fewer than six points per game. throughout his career, that would be fair. I don't think many expected what we've seen from Hallett Burton, but that comparison was definitely pretty disrespectful so far this year, Halliburton is averaging 20 points with incredible efficiency along with a league leading almost 11 assists per game, then there's Desmond Bain as a player. who rose to be one of the best three-point shooters and two guards in the NBA after four years actually seen at TCU, fell to the bottom of the first round to the Memphis Grizzlies upon entering the draft in which he was looked at . as a decent future three-point shooting player, which is why we saw that the Courtney Lee comparison was probably fair at the time, but he's over it.

Lee had a career under 10 points per game. Bane averages 25 points and five. rebounds and five assists, shooting 45 percent from three in nine attempts, a crazy game. Another who failed to come close is Isaac Accoro, who compares OG and Obi. Now I see where they were coming from, as they were both relatively unproductive college scorers, but given their athletic frame, they had tons of potential and what seemed like guaranteed defense from their comparison, although Andinobi has become one of the best two-way Wings league-wide averaging 19 points while also being in the defensive player of the year conversation. Okoro.

On the other hand, he's seen his role completely collapse in Cleveland and this season he's averaging just four points per game. Now we jump to last year's 2021 draft, obviously it's early, but I still think we have a pretty good idea with a lot of these. Guys, Cade's were ridiculous, but I still think he has all-NBA potential, so especially with him gone for the rest of the year, I'm going to wait for him. The first of the top picks whose comparison really stands out to me is Jalen. sucks Suggs was clearly considered the best point guard in this class in the eyes of many, one of the safer prospects.

He got the Jason Kidd and De'arron Fox comparison, which gives you a pretty good idea of ​​the thoughts surrounding him at the time. People thought he was going to have an extremely well-rounded game while also having a lot of scoring advantages, unfortunately, while it's been a struggle up to this point, he sure has had his stretches, but he's averaged 12 points in atrocious splits. 37-24 with In the following elections we saw the Oklahoma City Thunder go with Australian point guard Josh Giddy. Now the comparison he received seemed pretty vague to me and that's Joe Ingles. It was clearly due to the fact that they are both from Australia, not now.

I don't think Giddy has necessarily been discarded, the expectation is that they are very different players. Ingles is a wing who was a super solid three-point shooter and a half-court playmaker, especially for his position. Giddy is a true point guard despite having a thunderous roster positionally. In the starting lineup he is one of the best passers in the league, he has become super solid attacking the rim, but it was difficult for him to prove that he will be a reliable perimeter threat, very different from Joe Ingles, in my opinion, the next choice was Jonathan Gaming , a player who came. he entered the league with super high expectations after being the first pick.

Forced for almost his entire career leading up to that draft, despite a pretty rough performance in the G League, he drew the comparison to one of the League's best Wings, Jalen Brown, again. I see where they are. We were going given who Brown was as a prospect and the growth he's seen throughout his NBA career, but this was pretty aggressive. Brown is averaging 26, 7-4, shooting 50 from the field in his second season, he's averaging just seven points and is definitely still showing potential. I don't think 26 points per game is really in the cards right now. I know some of you are quick to comment on some of these guys saying, well, Galen Brown wasn't averaging 26 a game two years ago and yeah, you're right. he had an average of only 25.

Then we have some guys in this class that really exceeded expectations and I think they're pretty clear: 8th overall chose magic. Franz Wagner got the comparison with Nemanja Bialitza, a player who averaged less than eight points per year. game throughout his career, now that he's coming into the draft, I definitely thought Wagner would be a long-term project, but that's been far from the case so far. Vander in just his second season is 24-4, magic definitely has something there, so I actually have someone who went to the second round of the draft, so it's no surprise that the comparison of him was wrong.

We're talking about Herb Jones of the Pelicans. He got the comparison with Westerwundu, a solid defender but a guy who stayed in the league for only five seasons and averaged just over four points. Jones is now averaging 10 points per game at Pace to become one of the best defenders in the league. I can guarantee you that he will be here for much longer than five years, and finally, we have the most

recent

. Draft 2022 now, this is fun, but there's no doubt it'll be early a year from now. I might seem like a complete fool, but I still think we have a good idea.

I think we have to have Benedict Matheran, who has been one of the biggest surprises. All season right now he looks like a future star for Indiana averaging 18 points per game and he's doing it off the bench. I think it's pretty clear that the future is bright, but Outlets was super conservative with his comparisons, especially for a guy who went to the Beach Reporter at the top of the draft was with Tim Hardaway Jr, specifically citing his struggles to hit high percentage shots. Matheran is a guy who could easily score 20 a game next season, then we have Uzman Jang, who the NBA draft room decided to compare to Kyle.

Anderson with shades of Paul George Kyle Anderson can still be fair, but include Paul George. In the comparison, it doesn't matter if you put Shades looks a little ridiculous right now, he's averaging just four points in 42-29 splits, another comparison. Struggling to see where they were going is Jalen Williams, who nbadraft.net compared to Joshua Primo Now, as most of you know, Primo's career has been put on hold due to off-court situations, but when he was there he was a Dominant point guard. that he averaged six points with terrible efficiency Williams, on the other hand, is a wing who quickly made himself known with his combination of on- and off-ball ability averaging 11 points and 51 field goals.

They continued with the strange comparisons of him comparing Spurs' first pick Jeremy Sohan. For Kyle Kuzma he hasn't been anything special as a scorer, but so far he's been really intriguing going forward given his ability to impact the game outside of it. Kyle Kuzma is literally the exact opposite. He can't do much outside of scoring, but to his credit he can do that quite well averaging 20 points per game this season, making him one of the most intriguing trade candidates currently. Lastly, we have Johnny Davis. It shouldn't be a surprise that he was receiving tons of praise. his offensive potential before the draft, which allowed him to compare himself to Manu Ginobili, one of Our Generation's most creative shock readers.

Davis' shot creation ability, while obviously very early, seems nonexistent. He looks terrible in the preseason and summer league. and right now he's averaging just one point shooting 27 field goals, he can barely get on the court and spends most of his time in the g league but that's the end of you guys tell me what you think in the comments below continue if I liked the video.
