Point Made IRL Context Big Board - Finalised - Liam’s Personal Board
First Round Grades
Open to thoughts on the format and criticism or questions regarding placements
And, just like that, Darius Acuff Jr. has silenced everyone who’s doubted him
Because how can you continue disrespecting someone who dropped 49 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in 50 minutes on 16-27 shooting with just ONE turnover???
At 7’3 with a long wingspan and historic block numbers he’s getting harder to overlook in lottery conversations, especially as the NBA trends taller and taller.
This class is STACKED though and sorting through lottery and not is hell on earth.
Aday has been addressing some of my concerns with him in this year’s cycle; his form on the jumper is looking fluid; great energy transfer all the way up and finish with a high release.
Always a savant at cutter reads, he’s starting to find shooters too.
Mikel had a slump and a lot of people’s opinions on him solidified but at 6’5 with prototypical NBA height, and craft over athleticism he fits the direction of the modern NBA and is a great offensive hub.
Oh my goodness Mikel Brown Jr.
You didn’t have to do them like that; there’s like 3 levels of defence manipulation here, this kid isn’t getting the love he deserves as a creator.
@Officialwilleno@Jubbitie@iTweetSportss I REALLY do this btw, I have been for years; show me your draft boards, tell me your process, I get it you really like this one player who honestly I’m showing love to.
To be this stuck on whether he goes late first or second is borderline insanity.
Ebuka Okorie is worth a shot in the 2nd round, scores effortlessly and while I think it’s unlikely that he can translate that to a much bigger, stronger and quicker league somebody HAS to take the shot; likely he returns for next season tho realistically.
@Jubbitie@Officialwilleno@iTweetSportss He has great pace does not equal he will be the kind of athletic outlier you have to be in order to warp the NBA game like the college game;
If you think he’s legit as fast as maxey “but doesn’t go balls to the wall EVER” that’s a VERY interesting take.
You just agreeing coz he’s backing you up but sadly as his argument is massively flawed it’s really not helping your case that you did.
Coaches go and watch a lot of players play, and I didn’t say he’s not gone after the season I said it’s likely in the second round. Arguing with nothing atp
@Jubbitie@Officialwilleno@iTweetSportss That’s simply not how stats work: ever heard of the concept “best player on a bad team”
It’s pretty common; like Cam Thomas last year who just got WAIVED.
Shooting has always been the swing skill for Nolan Traore, whose elite trait has been his speed and quickness
But if Traore can prove that he’s a reliable threat from 3?
Man, his ceiling is so high and he’d have a De’Aaron Fox-esque game
Keaton may not have ups, but his patience, tempo and decision making will see him be an effective NBA player all the same; I wouldn’t be surprised if within a year of working with NBA strength and conditioning personal he’s throwing these down ease either.
I swear people are trying to fade AJ every time he has a bad game; but there are few players in the WORLD that can match his freak athleticism, and I’m not just talking about ups; it’s his fluidity and ability to contort while in control I value most.
How fragile does your masculinity have to be to have an issue with a teammate doing a silly little dance;
About half as fragile as it’d have to be to
not even be in that locker room, not be able keep it to yourself and say it on a pod 🤡
Jason Williams says Jared McCain needs to “get his sh*t together” and delete his TikTok now that he’s on the Thunder:
“If I’m in the locker room and I come out of that motherfu**ing shower and I see Buddy over there doing a TikTok dance in the motherfu**ing locker room, that’s a problem.”
(via @hoopinghollerin, h/t @NBA__Courtside)
Nolan Traore and his control of the game is really blowing me away
We know he has the speed to collapse defenses by getting into the paint, but his feel for playmaking has really popped
He’s not just playing quick but also controlling the game’s pace
Probably worth noting that Ament has been figuring it out on the fly with less than ideal spacing; he’s gonna feel like he’s driving on easy mode when he finds some NBA spacing.
I don’t want anything; you’re just grasping at straws and your arguments again follow ZERO legical track, so maybe there’s some projecting going on with that yammering.
I’ve responded to each of your most recent word vomit and now I’m never thinking about you and your 3 brain cells again.
Alijah Arenas is a legit talent, but with the concerns that are bound to arise as he works his way back from an extended absence, I wonder if he should hold back for a weaker 27’ class & use that extra runway to take-off into the lottery pick he can be.
