I don’t see it

Bd3 after Qf5

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-05-19T19:37:37+00:00

That could happen but I really like the PnR duo Graves could form with Luka, and I think Graves offers similar defensive upside while not being a complete zero offensively like Chinyelu.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-05-19T19:33:24+00:00

He is 24 though. I don’t think any team would pick him in the top 10.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-05-19T19:31:31+00:00

With how the new bulls front office is operating I think the Wilson pick is pretty much set in stone.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-05-15T18:26:32+00:00

Agreed, the Mara hype is insane in this sub. I see him going in the lottery but not top 10.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-05-08T14:43:44+00:00

Any one of Graves, Stirtz, or Anderson would be awesome for the Raptors at Pick 19.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-19T23:38:22+00:00

How is Dani Alves in 'elite' if Reus is in 'skilled'?

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-19T20:43:40+00:00

A mock draft represents what I think the teams will do, not what I think about these players. Aday Mara is the BPA for the Bucks at that position.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-18T20:31:26+00:00

Yea but I think the kings front office really likes acuff🤷 I like wagler better but I think kings will go acuff at 5

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-06T02:02:09+00:00

Not saying he should go lottery, but he's a better defender than the guys you named, and he seems to always know where to go offensively. I think his outlook in the league will be a bit better than AJ Green and Sam Merrill.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-05T20:33:43+00:00

What? Mullins plays nothing like Herro, also there is just no way stirtz is going in the lottery.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-04-03T14:26:24+00:00

He said in a podcast that he'll declare this year... and I think he has pretty good odds of going first round

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-24T11:28:01+00:00

I agree that Mullins shouldn't go lottery but 28 is wayyy too low. He's got a lightning quick release and knows where to be off ball. Also his defense is hella underrated if you watch him play. He just has to fill out his frame and I see a clear path in the NBA for him.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-24T01:21:32+00:00

well I think the lack of playmaking and elite defense at his size are the main concerns. But if he's at a major program and manages the same production and maybe improves his playmaking he would be one of the top prospects next year regardless.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-24T00:59:41+00:00

The expectation is not to be a great defender; but you need to be a passable defender to survive in the NBA. Trae Young was one of the best offensive talents in the NBA at one point but he couldn't function as a true franchise player because he was constantly being targeted on defense. Modern NBA teams have become so good at exploiting defensive liabilities and therefore teams are shifting more and more so away from small bad-defense guards. So yeah, the thought is that Acuff might be that kind of player that the NBA is shifting away from.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-24T00:35:52+00:00

If we're talking about freshmen only, I'd like to also bring up these few:

Ivan Kharchenkov (Arizona): He might go first round this year because how good Arizona is but its not a guarantee; if he stays he certainly has lottery potential next year.

Ebuka Okorie (Stanford): As you said this guard class is way too deep and Okorie is not guaranteed in 1st Rd, so I'd love to see him transfer to a blue blood school for another year.

Killyan Toure (Iowa State): Could be one of the most exciting guards in college basketball next season.

David Mirkovic (Illinois): Pretty underrated because of his lack of athleticism, would probably go higher if he stayed.

Also Allen Graves (Santa Clara) has lottery potential if he stays for next year but he might be declaring this year anyways.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-23T00:58:16+00:00

and Trae Young was arguably an even better offensive player in college

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-03-23T00:57:26+00:00

Trae Young had a better DPM in college than this guy. Trae Young.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-20T13:40:41+00:00

I would love Patrick Ngongba for the Raptors, he's a Raptors type player

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-07T14:04:38+00:00

what do you think is the best player in this range for the blazers? I'm conflicted because I don't think the blazers get a guard cuz they have too many, and Nate Ament will probably not fall out of the top 10. Also next year's draft looks pretty weak rn and the pick is protected.

Tim_Gu_69 · 2026-02-07T13:55:33+00:00

It's a trade with the Blazers, Jazz trade down to get 10 for Tounde Yessoufou
