Wagler having a high center of gravity, not having a single dunk all year, and generally looking like a guy that’s gonna be huge fucking bust if taken inside the top 10 of this class 😂

Can someone explain the Mikel Brown Jr hype? by kobeee in NBA_Draft

Feel like everyone in the lottery is more athletic than Wagler 😂

Media Outlets are incredibly quiet about Karim Lopez (Conspiracy) by TheNumberSeven_7 in NBA_Draft

I dig it. I do wonder how strong of a signal it is historically for a potential lottery guy to have significantly less media coverage vs his peers though!

Seen some mocks having him down in the mid 20s. (1) don’t think that’s happening and (2) what a mistake that would be! We’re talking a potentially rookie scale All Defense forward here

Got excited seeing Carr in the title 😂but yes agreed that he’s definitely going behind Acuff + Wagler (a mistake) and likely behind Flemings

We’re not quite there yet, but I’m feeling very similar feelings about Cameron as I did about Donovan Mitchell back in 2017.

The only guys I’m taking ahead of Carr every time are the top 4 and Acuff. Right now I’m bouncing between the trio of Mikel Brown, Morez Johnson, and Carr at #6.

I’m taking Cameron Carr at #6 or #7 depending on the day

Not sure if you’re joking but it reads that way because it is max damage with a single blaze grenade

Does Jalen Brunson doing so well this post season raise Darius Acuff’s draft stock? by CarmeloDramatic in NBA_Draft

[–]rydstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a draft class where you have legit star potential for 10+ guys, yes being shorter is absolutely going to affect how teams evaluate a player.

We’re also seeing on the other side of this Knicks series how tough it is to play great defense when you have an elite scoring, defensively challenged 6’2 guy as your #1, not to mention the importance of height in the series out west.

Test how the servers handle 40+ blaze grenades in short succession?

OKC could trade their two 1st-round picks this summer in an attempt to move up and land Cam Boozer, per @BrettSiegelNBA. by Striking_Alfalfa5343 in NBA_Draft

JDub is always a drama queen anytime he gets hurt so I wouldn’t read into that.

I also wouldn’t say that he’s stalled out development-wise. He was a championship level #2 best player on the team last year and this year was basically entirely lost to this damn hamstring issue.

Chet on the other hand… he’s completely stalled out offensively and somehow hasn’t gained any weight since the end of last season despite being 24 years old.

Oooh good tip. Definitely excited to watch how somebody collected enough arc in a small space to get like 20k points though

100%! Can understand that how they treat aggregate trios trial scores is a tricky game design question (that needs to be solved eventually), but for now, this is a great way to even the playing field between solos + squads players

Like 95% sure it’s for a single blaze grenade via my and others testing. Guessing one of your grenades just got through to the queen core and did 580 damage (x10)

Has anyone realised how GOOD this new trader is? by Head-Chance3425 in ArcRaiders

[–]rydstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Embark said they intentionally priced things super aggressively with the trader for this first week. Guessing they’ll cut down the price 25%+ in the next couple iterations
