i somehow feel like phx is more cursed team for a good player to end up on than sac right now

i meant to go see ayton live when he came through boulder kinda pissed i didnt
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 00:27 (five years ago) link
this draft is hella stocked tho
he got exposed in the game they got bounced

I’m torn btwn Jackson Jr, Aytom and Bagley. Honestly didn’t watch much college ball this year
― Heez, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 00:36 (five years ago) link
nba execs love to say 'you can't teach size', but the most effective bigs have an obvious feel for the game that I haven't seen in Ayton, yet. he's not a stiff and has decent athleticism, so he'll def belong in the nba, but I just can't see him as a legit #1 pick. Top ten easily, but best of class? not unless I squint hard. Bagley seems more legit to me.

given the devaluing of centers, esp. those that can't be two-way players, i find all the big guys at the top of this draft a little anxiety-inducing
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:30 (five years ago) link
yeah, unless they can shoot 3s and switch on screens which makes them immediately draymond
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:32 (five years ago) link
dray..... cant shoot 3s
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:41 (five years ago) link
20-12 is an insane line for college ball which is what ayton put up btw
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:46 (five years ago) link
i mean he literally does shoot 3s tho not well
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
xp but he's one of the ones who can't play defense right?
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
ayton shot 34% from college three he cn prob achieve dray levels of marksmanship
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:48 (five years ago) link
ayton shd be able to play D hes huge athletic w good feet, i mean maybe hell never figure it out but hes got the tools
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link
but can he achieve dray levels of...*searches word book*murksmanship?barksmanship?
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link
tall order for sure
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 01:50 (five years ago) link
ayton has pretty good form for a center, i could def see him becoming a good 3 pt shooter for a center. but he's not gonna ever be great from out there & the question for me is whether you can win a title in the current NBA with playing thru a big man in the post
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:10 (five years ago) link
man what about the famous play the pick n roll
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:12 (five years ago) link
of greater concern is being able to guard the perimeter imo
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:13 (five years ago) link
lebrons been a bit off is he actually concussed?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:16 (five years ago) link
he looked foggy after he took the hit in my professional opinion
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:19 (five years ago) link
also another thing with ayton is that it doesn't seem like he'll ever be a playmaker. i think it's also hard to have a high usage big nowadays who can't pass. the thing w/ draymond is less that he's a shooting threat (teams haven't guarded him for a while) but that he's an incredible passer on the move
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:19 (five years ago) link
oh oops wrong thred lol
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:19 (five years ago) link
idk its possible to learn how to pass, its the last skill a lot of very good players develop
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:23 (five years ago) link
idk i'm dubious. ayton is a complete animal and i'll think he'll be pretty great but i wouldn't take him #1 and i think bamba could be better.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:25 (five years ago) link
bamba is reaaally raw in all the areas youre concerned abt ayton tho
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:26 (five years ago) link
bamba feels like he was maybe made for an nba of a couple innovation cycles ago, when tyson chandlers roamed
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:27 (five years ago) link
its funny how good marcus smart is at running the pick and roll when u dont really have to guard him
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:28 (five years ago) link
mavs are gonna draft bamba and pretend it's 2009
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:28 (five years ago) link
offensively maybe but defensively he looks like could be the ideal pace and space big
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:29 (five years ago) link
i think ayton could be KAT-ish in being elite on offense pretty early but still lost and bad on defense 3 years in
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:31 (five years ago) link
lol bron started complaining abt a foul call while he was still grabbing onto monroes arm
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 02:34 (five years ago) link
oops
yeah. take it to the thread where dreams go to die.

So an exact copy of KAT then
― gritty tigger reboot (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 15:27 (five years ago) link
ayton is more physically impressive than KAT fwiw
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 15:59 (five years ago) link
kat weirdly has a bunch of unathletic traits duck footed bad posture does not have a thick jacked frame
― sprout god (lag∞n), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:01 (five years ago) link
same tbh

yeah that's what i mean
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:27 (five years ago) link
ayton is a physical specimen it's true but his defense at arizona was pretty alarming
yeah but sometimes guys just dont do some things good in college and it turns out to not be a big deal, but then sometimes it is a big deal
