I think Jalen Green has untapped potential but so far he's been a pretty awful 2nd pick. If Houston had Scottie Barnes with Sengun they would be a playoff team right now

They might have been referring to the Kings drafting Davion Mitchell 9th who's easily been the worst player from the top ten that year. Jalen Johnson was a pretty huge miss at #20 and Trey Murphy at #17 as well

You're not wrong but Jalen Green vs Scottie Barnes is a pretty basic hindsight draft What-If. At least relative to Luka stuff and everyone that missed on Hali.

Aside from KD's mickey mouse rings the only other 2nd pick to win a championship in the past 20 years was Darko Milicic with the Pistons in 2004, in his rookie season!

I think jalen will be good in like 4 years once his efficiency gets better. maybe

the size and athleticism is there

suggs turned it around. it takes time for some guys. Mario elie wasnt good until he was like 30!

I think it is criminal how low Jaime Jaquez Jr fell in this years draft.

Shout out to GG Jackson, Georgia boy definitely slept on as well

Jaquez is super fun to watch play. I dunno where his ceiling is but barring injuries he's gonna be around for a long time.

Also, I was disappointed that GG Jackson's birth name wasn't Jesus Christ Jackson.

At the half, Milwaukee/Detroit is close, Philly/SA is close, and Cleveland is blowing out Orlando by 25 points

Did not expect THAT game to be the blowout out of those three
