Yep people overvalue aesthetics and undervalue production Also people weigh skills a player has by how cool the skill looks

Ppl said Vassell can't dribble but he avg 19 a game as a 22 year old. Mikal can't dribble but avg 26 for nets last year. Now Jabari Smith can't dribble or the best one yet is Cam Boozer

@Albabycakes Mark playing certain guys as much as he does and then just freezing out aaron wiggins while is ridiculous, we praise him for stuff in games that don’t matter but he hasn’t been good in games that do matter

The worst part about Giddey is he makes sure you know how bad he is he doesn’t disappear like Tobias Harris or someone he is involved in every single play

If you watched him at auburn it was special. The shotmaking and perimeter D at his height was so rare. He will turn it around. Youngest of any of the top picks.

@GardnerTheGOAT1 @AllNBAShai @BrandonRahbar I prefer Jabari but body type is literally the only similarity chet has to those guys. He’s one of the better defensive prospects to come in the league, up there with like AD and Mobley. The frame is a concern but to compare him to those guys is just lazy.

@CoachMikewill93 Why Giddey still plays makes absolutely no sense to me. Would’ve liked a guy like Drummond or Gafford but they play so “positionless” and 5 out that I don’t think they really wanted to sacrifice it. Definitely wanting another big this summer though, preferably draft

Actually kinda funny that despite all of the swings Sam Presti has taken at projects in the first round of the draft outside of the top 5 recently, the older, pro-ready, safe floor prospect in Jalen Williams has the highest ceiling of them all and it isn’t remotely close.

@HirdItHereHoops I really like all 3 of them but I just trust Holmes to translate a little bit easier than the other 2. I like that he can shoot and his shooting has improved so much over his 3 years. He just does a lot of things really well that you don’t see really ever at his size/position.

@_utilitysports Have all 200+ freshman that have been better than him had perfect set ups? That’s incredibly unlikely. I’m not saying he will never be good, he may very well be good next season. I think it’s unfair to him to force him into being an nba prospect when just clearly isn’t yet

Someone needs to explain Duren over Mark Williams to me. I like both of them a lot and will probably end up with both top 10-12, but I feel like Mark Williams ceiling is a way more useful NBA player.
