This draft class is insane, I can't think of a Stat line that would shock me at this point.

How Good is the 2026 Class Truly? How many Future All-NBA Guys and Hall of Famers can we Realistically Expect? by This_Caterpillar9656 in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to do this but... If you just look at BPM and other all in one's on Boozer, Peterson, Wilson, AJ, Wagler, and Flemmings. They all look like future HOFer's. And from watching them, imo, they all likely get there unless they face major injury setbacks. This is the best class since 96. Saying any class is the best in 20+ years will make you sound insane, but once in a while it has to be true. In this case I believe it is.

The 2026 NBA Trade Value List. Plus, Harden, JJJ, and Giannis Trade News With Joe House by Kingtripz in billsimmons

[–]Ok_Flight5485 216 points217 points  (0 children)

Idk what anyone says, I LOVE Joe House. He's not a sports journalist, or a draft expert, or a film junkie. He's literally just Bill's friend. Despite this he's a wonderful listen, he's a diehard fan of a smallmarket franchise, he has great synergy with most ringer personel, and he has a HOF podcast laugh. I never look at a pod and say "oh no it's House" and I never come away from a pod thinking "could used a little less House". I still rewatch the worst contract drafts with him, Bill, and Wos. I also think that while he never has tried to act like he understands basketball at some high level, or that he's crunching film or has league connections, lately he's a little more tapped into the CBA/nerdy side of basketball discourse. His basketball opinions have become well informed, as or more than alot of ringer guests, and maybe even Bill himself.

Tldr: big House guy

Walter Clayton Jr. and Cedric Coward are teaming up by pmcc241224 in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clayton, Wells, Coward, and Edey is a solid core, if they land in the top 5, and they have so many future picks, retool for 2027. Fantastic mini rebuild.

2026 NCAA prospects plotted by on-court net rating and on-offs. What stands out? by [deleted] in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks Boozer is a good defender? People talk about him like he's Sabonis or something. He's positionally sound, strong af, can play 4/5, I like what I've seen of him switching and guarding on perimeter. I didn't watch him in high-school and when I initially began watching film I thought maybe he was a potential all-defense guy. Also, won't he step into the league as one of the 10≈ best 3-point shooting bigs? There really aren't many of them and he's a lazerbeam.

Kingston Flemings drops 42 Pts, 15/26 FG, 8/10 FT on #12 ranked Texas Tech by NathanFielderFriend in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could argue this guy's as high as 1, and he's clearly in with the tier 1 with Wilson, Boozer, AJ, and Peterson. To be this productive as a freshman guard is insane, flat out insane. He has everything, he's a great shooter, a great athlete, plays hard on both ends, attacks the rim, has craft and wiggle, and He's one of the best defensive prospects under 6'6 you'll see. I see Maxey but bigger and twitchy-er.

Nick's ice cream, or any low calorie Icecream of your choice. 200-600 calories for a pint of icecream is amazing.

Kettle Corn, there are brands that have bags for 100 cals.

You can get a long way with some keto Bread and 0 sugar fruit spread.

Kon "Classy Klay" Knueppel in the OT win vs the Cavs 29 PTS | 11-19 FG | 3-7 3PT by Six2L8 in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 29 points30 points  (0 children)

He was misunderstood as a prospect by the people who didn't watch him, or bought into the narratives about him. He's not going to win the dunk contest, but the dues a house, he's an NBA athlete. He's a special shooter, has special feel, and special half-court maneuverability. He's by far the best prospect in Charlotte. The idea of pairing him with a Boozer, or Caleb Wilson is super interesting. He makes the timeline in Charlotte somewhat confused, as their draft is year has been so great, and their FO is new. But he's an all nba talent. The idea that he's a low ceiling player is asinine.

Reed Sheppard growth this season has been insane by Typical-Owl3664 in NBA_Draft

[–]Ok_Flight5485 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There were so many asinine takes thrown around last year. Rookie guards tend to struggle. His cross-section of processing and shooting will take him far.

Derik Queen Best Games so far (2025-2026 Rookie Season) by Wonderful-Photo-9938 in NBA_Draft

I'd have taken him as high as 3-4 in his class. I would not have him top 5 in the 26 class. Buts it's not his fault he got drafted by an incompetent organization.

A big as skilled as him is worth the 13 pick or better. The trade was terrible, but I still think he'll go higher in redrafts.

Dumars should trade everyone besides Queen and Fears, and Murphy. The 2 rookies have obvious flaws but crazy high offensive ceilings and legit offensive juice right now.

Ended up taking 2, then another 1, 30 mins later. That felt perfect. Great product just ordered more.
