Wolves draft center. Trolls have a new fave. Reid, garza and Zikarsky :facepalm
Hornets had a solid draft overall
[QUOTE=Meticode;15017623]I don't then he'll turn out as good as he's scouted. There will be one or two players who will be better.[/QUOTE]
Disagree with you on Coop. I don’t know if you watch college ball like that but there wasn’t a single game Duke played, including against Auburn and Houston, where he wasn’t just clearly the best player on the court. And not in an overwhelming talent way but the little things too.
Of course there might be one or two who end up better but what’s the choice there? Flaggs absolute floor is a very strong contributor on a championship level team. There is absolutely no bust factor barring injuries of course.
Ceiling is tough to call but given his rate of improvement during the college season? Could be one of the better players in the league without question.
Youngest person to be drafted #1 since Lebron too. He’s very very good.

I
Hopefully he can average more than 5ppg against OKC
Cant quit me!
Ace Baylee = loser
I never got mad at a guy that tried to control where he was drafted. Even his that rejected the Celtics. Lonzo Ball flat out told Ainge to stay away. I can respect that and have nothing against him and never did.
Who jas a better eye for talent presti or manny?

The photos and social media videos of Ace Bailey agent are hilarious. Looks like a 90’s drug dealer. That and the negative coverage this kid gets is wild. Some will say deserving. I disagree. A lot was made out when he didn’t meet Utah with the other rookie. However come to find out he meets with Utah today and the same energy isn’t given for folks jumping the gun. His agent, handlers whomever need to start getting ahead of the negative news like that. Soon as that stuff drops you counter. Even tho the team Utah did. Ijs that’s what Ace hired his agent for no?
Vj Edgecombe is personality and dog mentality will win fans over where if he is just a fringe all star caliber player when it’s all said and done? Folks won’t be that up in arms. Bonding with the city, videos of him working out, news of his character (used Nil money for scholarships in Bahamas). That’ll win fans that hate the pick over. It was a safe pick and he will always be measured up what Ace does.

Presti
The fact okc tried getting him should give Nets fans a little happiness lol but the draft grades collectively im seeing range from D to C+ yikes
Prior to the draft I saw this poll on the RealGM Philly board:

Small sample size. More fans wanted Ace than VJ. And I say that from conversations in public, sports radio, social media.
“Don’t overthink this!”
“We are loaded with guards!”
“VJ can’t shoot, tired of those players”
Not going to lie, I empathize with this Ace Bailey kid. I can imagine Utah is a terrible city to live in for marketing purposes, lifestyle, it's also full of racist funny looking people. But his management is not guiding him smartly. If he didn't want to get drafted by Utah they could have told him to sabotage his workout and interview. That would have been his best path forward.

Quite an imagination. Id say where ace comes from is much more racist. With social media you can be marketed in any city. Depends on what kind of lifestyle you want i guess. Gobert still has his home here. I believe favors still lives here and hes also from the racist south. Also some of the most beautiful women here. But this is ish. Lets talk about thngs we have no clue about :roll:
