[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;15037937]Now he will have 4 nba players around him not 1[/QUOTE]
None of them are as talented as Harper. He was shredding teams early in the season when they were trying to guard him with one man.
He had 35 pt games on back to back nights early in the season, the second one against Alabama with a very strong defense.
I like Ace but he is more of a project than you realize.

Harper looked good coming off spurs bench
Projects dont go 5th in draft
Or shouldnt anyway. Their top pick from last year looks like a project

Sarr went number 2 and he is a project. Ditto Wiseman, a project that never worked out. Ditto Marvin Bagley.In fact there have been a lot of top 5 picks that end up as busts, and many others that never became good.
ever heard of Ron Holland? He went 5th last year.
Sarr was the best rookie i saw last year. Sarr for keyonte george and and cody williams?
So everyone is a superstar, scrub or project with you? 13 pts 8 boards 2 ass 2 blocks is a rotation player probably a starter. Obviously will have to improve his effociency

Sarr was legit awful last year. Couldn't defend centers at all and his scoring efficiency was horrible. A 48% TS isn't a good look for a 7 footer.
They aren't going to trade him lol but he has a lot to work on. Oddly enough the one thing he did well, after an awful start, was shoot 3s

Looked great when i saw him. Weaker draft than this year. Ace would have went 1st

I argued with a lot of people on a draft board who thinks Ace will be a bust. His advanced stats don't look good. They certainly don't look like a number 1 pick.
His BPM of 4.5 isn't good and doesn't project to a franchise player. Tre was at 7.7. Flagg was at 16.3.
I don't view advanced stats as gospel when evaluating freshman but they are instructive.
Jesus Christ this is cringe lol Yes bill simmons compared Ace to Durant and guess what you did?

And you tried to diminish KD freshman season and argue Ace faced tougher competition. All the while never watching either play. lol
Just enjoy Ace man. Utah got a nice talent thanks to Ace agent f*cking off his draft stock. If he’s anything like prime George in Indy that would be nice. Need to really see what he’s made of before the Durant comparison isn’t a reach. Should be able to tell by year 3. Lots of time. Lots of opportunity.

I do have respect for Bill Simmons even if I disagree but I think that comp was definitely a hot take and slightly in jest.
Durant was far more advanced as an overall scorer at the same age. Doesn’t mean Ace won’t be. 30ppg guy someday. It’s possible. But with Durant it was a borderline certainty.

You really want to argue that college basketball isnt better now? Players are staying in college longer. Equals better product. Hard to argue otherwise but you seem to have the enrgy for nonsense. I have watched every minute baily has played since july including against the guy he has patterned his game after ld. Imagine someone thinking your game reminds them of yoir hero who influenced your game :facepalm

Imagine someone who didn’t watch Ace Bailey play attempting to argue today’s game in college is better than when Durant played. Imagine the same person saying Durant played in a weaker conference. The issue here? How can you argue and be so adamant about something you don’t watch in 2025 no less 2006? Your whole argument is players stating in college longer = better product. Then have the nerve to say it’s hard to argue it when you don’t even follow college basketball. Cringe. There’s something with you where you simply can’t concede. You simply can say “I don’t know”, “I’m not sure”, “Hard for me to speak on the topic”. Whatever is in your DNA makeup doesn’t allow it.
