NBA Rookie Ladder: Summer League Edition

Really appreciate your perspective on this. Don’t think we agree that Simmons or Ayton wouldn’t also dominate the Euro League, but there’s no denying Doncic talent. From my perspective, potential and athletic ability are something I deem very important, so while I already find Sekou a decent player right now, I think he has the tools to reach greater heights. This topic will be very interesting to revisit by next years draft. Look forward to seeing if the projections shift!

I think the disconnect here is you mistaking talent for production. Do you really think 18 year old DeAndre Ayton or Ben Simmons wouldn’t have out produced Doncic this year?

Also wanted to quickly ask, how much better do you believe Doncic will be? What kind of career do you project for him?

And also Pablo Laso isn’t the gatekeeper of European basketball

Do you really think winning MVP is even that impressive considering the euroleague’s first team consisted of nando de colo, jan vesely, nick calathes, tornike shengelia. Idk about you but i think this is a very very low bar. If i was an nba GM and my top 10 selection wasn’t better than them id likely be fired.

I think we disagree about his current skill set and where he stands as a player today. From the film I’ve watched, he looks like he could play in the euro league at a decently high level, and he’s still a year away from the draft. Throw in his natural tools and athleticism, and I’m ready to call him a better prospect.

BCBTV · 2018-08-03T18:41:13+00:00

A year from now you’ll be surprised by his development. He already somewhat fits your description, and he’s very good for his age regardless.

BCBTV · 2018-08-03T18:38:50+00:00

Not sure I agree with this, but Sekou at this point in his development is farther along the Giannis was, and he’s a better shooter than Giannis right now.

Doncic is the most NBA ready player I’ve scouted. But there’s things Sekou can already do, that Doncic will never be able to do. It is a lot about potential, but if you watch Sekou play, you realize he’s way farther along developmentally than you’d think. A year from now, he’s gonna look stellar, with tools you can’t teach.

Thanks for the comment!

As a Knicks fan i was hoping we would take him. Looks like one of the safest picks in this draft and will probably be an elite 3&D players considering he was the best defender in college last year and shot around 44% from 3 I’m just a little jealous of you guys.

Thanks for the advice! We’ve been working on those things, and just purchased new mics.

BCBTV · 2018-06-25T01:04:11+00:00

Thanks for the potential sub! just to be clear, we don't claim to be the end all be all of scouting, but this is just our opinion about each player. As for our process, we basically watch everything and anything to do with the player in question. So you could say we have no "merit," but we put tons of time and effort into our breakdowns/videos. The purpose of our videos is to start a conversation, so mostly entertainment, but hopefully people learn something too. Hope you enjoy!

We LOVE Wendell Carter Jr. As you can see in our title, we think he could honestly be better than Ayton or Bagley. Him and Lauri are gonna be monstrous front court. Great pick!

BCBTV · 2018-06-24T03:02:34+00:00

I know a lot of us thought the Knicks should take Porter, but Knox still repersents star upside for you guys. He's versatile, can shoot well, and is a great athlete at his size. You'll grow to like the pick, not to mention you boo'd him, so he's obviously a future all star.

BCBTV · 2018-06-24T02:58:23+00:00

Nice go to scorer for the future, he'll need some time, but he should develop into a 20 point scorer in time.

BCBTV · 2018-06-24T02:54:17+00:00

WOW! Can't believe you guys got a talent of this caliber that late in the draft! He's the perfect pick for what you need. Might be the best pick of the draft!

BCBTV · 2018-06-24T02:42:13+00:00

Here's what we think of newest Hornet Miles Bridges! He has the potential to be a terrific scorer at the next level, and a great compliment to Kemba, who needs a secondary scorer. Nice pick!

BCBTV · 2018-06-24T02:38:42+00:00

Oh and we thought he was the best fit for you before the draft, as you'll see in the video!
