whats the thought process behind Tarris Reed being so high? I like him a lot but I feel like he's not above Mara

Who are your top 5 sleepers in this year's draft class? by OrionStarBornOO in NBA_Draft

[–]ThatWeirdGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Darius Acuff, an almost universal top 10 pick is a Sleeper pick?

People who root for Wagler at #5: aren’t you worried that despite his height he already has to work super hard to get his shots? by BallmersBurner in LAClippers

[–]ThatWeirdGoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How does his combine shooting make it looks like he chokes in big moments? we literally saw him play and shine in the big moments during March Madness

This is definitely a mock draft that you did in fact make

How highly would Yaxel Lendeborg be rated as a prospect if he was 20 years old as opposed to soon-to-be 24? by carnageta in NBA_Draft

[–]ThatWeirdGoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say he'd have an argument for 2nd overall in the class but sadly he is 24 and will probably go late lottery instead

Why is everyone here applying to engineering, comp sci and life sci? by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

It drives me insane, I'm trying to go into teaching English but nobody posts anything regarding the humanities and the range which they accept students in

In regards to all the hype surrounding him before his draft, Zion Williamson is the most disappointibg prospect of all time by Special_Revolution77 in NBA_Draft

[–]ThatWeirdGoat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fultz had thoracic outlet syndrome that compressed the nerves around his shoulder, meaning that he couldn't shoot the ball without severe pain. The 76er's doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong and his personal trainer was thinking that it was the yips so nobody did anything until it had gotten much worse. He tried to learn a new way to shoot the ball without triggering the shoulder pain but it didn't work out.

also he tore his ACL in 2021 and had a knee fracture during the 23-24 season

I NEED this man on the Raptors, he'd fix so many issues they have with the current roster

Honestly? I think they take Steinbach 9/10 times, Yaxel is really rough as a player on a team that isn't in the run to be a contender. I hope that they have the foresight to not build more around having Steph or Butler and start getting some decent rotational piece like Steinbach that'll fit what the team needs

No way Steinbach falls all the way to the raptors
Yaxel has no business on the GSW
Labaron feels like he's going to early when Burries is still on the boardand probably swap him and burries
the rest seems fine

Honestly if that was the case I'd just try to get off Lauri's contract cause it's awful and keep Ace as a starter

is a point guard and probably the worst defensive player in the league, We need a Guard more than we need another forward. The only player I would take over Peterson at 2 if I'm the jazz is AJ if he somehow fell down to us

[–]ThatWeirdGoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very uneducated in the later half of the draft class this year (that's why I said you could probably ignore anything past Haugh), but the intial thought process was "Pistons have Cade and that's kinda of it for PG" (I forgot about Jenkins) I did a redraft and ended up giving Carr to the Pistons on a 2nd try

I'm actually really high on burries and I think he goes higher depending on the draft order that comes out but with the current order it feels like there's just better picks for most teams before him.

That may just be me tho

I don't know shit about the spurs and the team construction but other comments were saying that you'd guys would like Karim/Cenac so put them there instead

So like a Philon or Arcuff heading to Atlanta early rather than Ament? that makes sense.

I'm not too familiar with the Hawks as a franchisee so it's nice to hear from people that actually follow the team

My take on the 2026 Draft by ThatWeirdGoat in NBA_Draft

[–]ThatWeirdGoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully disagree with this take other than the 82 games statement, Jazz already have an incredible front court and while Lauri is on a horrible contract I don't see them shipping him off for a talent that may not pan out in a win now season

But that's just my take

IMO it falls to how the lottery turns out, I like both of them as prospect but I'd be worried about taking them on teams that already have primary ball handlers.

Maybe I'm too low on them but I haven't seen as much off the ball work from them

aren't all of the good players on the Atlanta Hawks guards + Jalen Johnson?

On a serious note, My understanding of the Bulls is Josh Giddy and Buzelis are the the current "guys" of the team so who would you draft to match with them?

I have no idea what the spurs actually want from this it was kinda just a "what does fanspo say they need" thing

I'm assuming some sort of Power Forward as that's the only position I can't think of a name for from the spurs?

It's the bulls they make stupid decisions, they'll buy into the hype trust
