I think Dillingham has some SGA/Maxey potential, based solely on that Cal is able to recruit elite talent and then find a way to marginalize them in their one year in school. I'm not going to commit to Dillingham being a max player in four years but I think he's got a chance at being a solid contributor.

Sheppard I'm not high on outside of being a three and D guy, which means he's got a solid NBA future but I still lol, even lmao, at The Ringer saying he should have gone first overall. Complete lunacy.

His shooting efficiency is nuts tho. I guess you could hold volume against him, but when the consensus top pick is at 9pts 4 rebounds it's hard to do. This whole draft is sketch as hell and at least those efficiency numbers stand out as elite comparable to other great shooters pre draft numbers.

Cody Williams rebounds like a 6' guard is why he isn't listed (and his very mid FT % makes you wonder about his 3pt%).

This draft is going to be fun and dumb.

sarr's playing against pros in a tier 2 league, i think those numbers are acceptable especially when you see what he's doing defensively on tape

like obviously you'd love it if he was putting up 20/10 with 2 blocks but he's shown enough to differentiate himself from the rest of the class i think (which is mostly a statement about the rest of the class)

I think you're overrating the NBL. I'd put it behind several euro leagues. Unless I'm mis-interpreting what you mean by tier 2 league. It's talent is just above G-League, and I can't imagine an ignite player getting much traction with those numbers.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The Thompson twins actually being NBA good coming from a sub-high school quality, potentially fixed league that they weren't that great in has ruined my trust in "how guy did compared to his league" now.

I think we may need to revisit how bad ote was last year, talking about it with a few scouts it may have been a stronger league that I gave it credit for.

It would ease my soul quite a bit if it turns out being good.
