Where are yall at on Asa Newell and Noa Essengue?
Asa Newell is a very safe pick. Will play for a long time at a solid level especially if the three point shot develops. Could develop into something similar to how Rui Hachimura has been playing of late (high defensive versatility/effort, knocking down open shots).

Noa Essengue will get the GM that drafts him fired. Still better than Saraf though.
 
lol. Jett Howard is only 21. Yes, he is putting up Alex Sarr-like shooting efficiency, but his defense is improving. Just needs to find a coach that instills some confidence in him and his shooting will return.

Too early to give up on him, not a lost cause like JHS, smh.
As far as Cason Wallace it was just drafting another defender instead of getting a more offensively inclined player

And lol @ the sarr shot

I don’t mind Jett Howard in a vacuum but he’s not anything special as a player he reminds me of a maybe worse Keyshawn George it’s just that his draft position makes him a disappointment
 

Egor in the top 10. Hmm. That kid confuses me. Might be the best passer in the class, but does not have the scoring ability to make that passing skill work. Definitely not a “PG”.

Giddey was a better prospect imo and dude is on his 2 team already bcos he could not score well enough to take advantage of his passing (yes Beta, I am aware he has been playing well of late)

@southsil4lil what do u think? Bet on him figuring it out?

I think he has a bit more agility and explosiveness than Giddey....his passing is very intriguing but like you said if the defense doesn't respect the scoring it makes it very hard to utilize that skillset

I don't like him in the top ten and I honestly think he should go back to school for another year but that's not going to happen
