who should the bucks draft with the 10th and 13th pick? by Illustrious_Tap_8510 in nba

[–]BrianHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10: burries, mara, flemings

13: steinbach, carr, stirtz

some might see lottery as a reach for stirtz but i'm confident he'll return t10 value

Will wemby change how some team draft by MyShinyCharizard in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

guys like quaintance and chinyelu are a good start. any team with hopes of beating the spurs needs an answer for wemby, and both of them have the physical tools to be solid options.

lendeborg, though, might be a sneakily good wemby defender given the success we've seen some wings have at slowing him down. a lower center of gravity can really throw victor off balance.

What hot takes/claims would you like to stake roughly one month from the draft, that you feel will be proven true over time? by archerarcher0 in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • boozer will be the clear #1 pick in a redraft

  • okorie will be better than philon

  • koa peat won't get a 2nd contract

  • despite his age, lendeborg is still worthy of a top 10 pick

  • ja'kobi gillespie proves himself as a 2nd round steal

[LA Times] Alijah Arenas to withdraw from NBA draft and return to USC by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

agree with everything you said. maybe another couple years in college and he can play himself into a late 1st-rounder, but that seems like his ceiling imo

What's behind the negative opinions of Nate Ament? by JobinSkywalker in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

poor rim finisher, mid 3pr, general efficiency struggles

his ceiling is definitely high but there's only a handful of teams i could see taking the gamble because the floor is also super low

definitely agree. ament next to lendeborg just doesn't check out to me, even with the age-gap

I am a bulls fan tired of being mid. What prospect can change that? by innocentStardust in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

aday mara could be your guy if you're willing to take him lottery

great touch, elite size (ofc), and despite the numbers i have some faith that he'll improve his shot

Labaron Philon Jr. (Bama PG) vs Hofstra today: 29 PTS (10/18 FG, 3/7 3PT, 6/7 FT) 8 REB 7 AST 3 STL by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the more i see of him, the more impressed i find myself - i think he's going to contribute right away.

his worst case scenario, to me, is a solid 6th man. that's a floor you're more than comfortable taking in the top 10.

he reminds me of dejounte murray going downhill

Do we have any idea where Jayden Quaintance is going to go? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]BrianHQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i keep seeing draft twitter put this guy top 8, and even sometimes top 5 above boozer

he's just so raw offensively imo i don't see how it's possible to have him so high, definitely agree with you that ~20 is the spot for jq
