Whenever I import this class to NBA 2k16, Josh Jackson becomes a multi-year MVP/DPOY. So he should go #1

straight up brolic posted:am I the only one who thinks that with those bizarre mechanics, Ball's 3pt shot is fools gold when it comes to the NBA level? it's just so loving weird. I think he will be considerably worse off the dribble in the NBA because defenders are way quicker and since the release point is so low it will probably get blocked a lot. Though he's really tall for a PG so his height advantage may lessen that. I think he will be great off the ball, though. I honestly think he is the perfect PG to play with Ben Simmons in theory. This is literally the best draft class possible for the 76ers right now, it's kind of funny. They will almost certainly be able to walk away with one of Ball/Fultz/Jackson and one of Smith/Monk/Tatum/Fox. Not that those guys are guarenteed to hit, but there is like a 0% chance they are forced to take a big they don't have minutes for. e: WAIT I DIDN'T REALIZE ALL THE BALLS ARE RELATED

euphronius posted:Also Saric and cov do have some gravity so I'm not sure what your comment means honestly. Robert Covington has about as much Gravity as pluto. He's shooting .350/.290 Having a person who can create from the perimeter and draw defenders into the high post will space the floor way more than Saric and Covington do.

euphronius posted:I'd agree with you if they had guards who shoot threes. Tj McConnell can not. The 3 guards who play the most minutes are shooting a combined 38% on 10.7 attempts per game. They also have this guy named Joel Embiid who shoots really well from 3. Illyasova is no starting and won't be affected by Ben Simmons because you're going to flush Covington's garbage minutes down the drain, not his.

euphronius posted:So you think it's going to be what Sergio , Henderson , Simmons , ilyasova , embiid? No, I'm refuting your point that Simmons is going to gently caress up the spacing for the 76ers, when in fact he is going to help it. e: and yeah, they will probably run that lineup a bunch. The point of spacing is to open things up for the Primary ball handler and allow penetration, which collapses the defense and opens up those shooters. Ben Simmons is the primary ball handler in this scenario. It doesn't so much matter that Simmons, in theory, cannot shoot in this scenario. The real problem that inserting Simmons creates is on the defensive end, because they will have 2 guys who probably should be defending Power Forwards.

I realize you're being dramatic on purpose, but in no way will he "be able to score at will" because there are maybe like 8 guys in the NBA who I could comfortably say could do that. I'd probably be way higher on Monk if The buddy experiment was not going so poorly right now.

mikeraskol posted:I'm not seeing how Buddy's outlier shooting senior season has any impact on Monk coming in and lighting it up as a freshman. I suppose it's the basic comparison that worries me. Stock for Athletic 2s excelling against bad competition is at an all time low for me. Wing defenders are so much better in the NBA that I worry about him translating. It's kind of dumb but if he literally checked one more box I'd feel more comfortable. Not only is he short, he also has a short wingspan, cannot really run an offense (even pretend to), rebounds poorly. That being said he is still an interesting prospect, but I'd feel way more comfortable taking him 10ish than 5-6.

Taking Jackson over Fultz, Ball, or Smith would be really, really stupid. Also I wouldn't touch Giles with a 10 foot pole at this point.

The second you are a consensus first round pick, the intelligent thing is to leave for the NBA. We're talking about pure opportunity cost, the risks greatly outweigh the positives of staying for 1-3 more years of college.

Henchman of Santa posted:Isn't Ball also incapable of shooting from within the three point line? He shoots .667 percent for 2s while taking 4 a game. An important thing to remember about Lonzo is that he actually does not take a lot of shots for UCLA. He only Averages 9.4 a game.

MourningView posted:The thing is he's really really good at everything else, so even if he has to rework his shot you can still get value out of him. He's super athletic and by far the best passer in the draft. He can still hit shots if he is not guarded. That's the reason why people like Rubio and MCW are bad. Ball will hit shots you leave him open for.

The Glumslinger posted:They're 2 games out of the playoffs and just added a major talent. They will almost certainly make the playoffs Almost certainly is a huge overstatement. They probably would need to win like 15/16 games out of their remaining schedule to make it, which would be 15-10 in their finals games. Their wing and guard rotations are really, really bad. They literally have 4 guards on their roster right now. Jrue Holiday Etwuan Moore Tim Frazier At least two of those guys need to be on the court at all times for them for 25 games.

Ty1990 posted:Somebody earlier brought up Josh Jackson's shooting being a red flag because his fair 37% from 3 doesnt match up with his bad 55% from the line...but isn't it a huge positive that he's gotten so much better from deep as the season has gone on? People have posted before that FT% is a better indicator of NBA 3p% potential and I'm inclined to believe them. The difference between the NBA and college 3 point line is quite startk. Shooting 37% from college, and having to move back 3 feet is a huge deal and the fact that he can't even make 60% of his free throws does not fill me with a lot of confidence that he will be able to do it.

I'd take Jackson over anyone not named Ball or Fultz. And I could probably be convinced he's a better prospect than Ball.

Khagan posted:NBA coaching should improve both of these percentages though. I mean, most bad free throw shooters will stay bad free throw shooters for their entire careers. Three point shooting can be improved more easily. But expecting a dude who shoots 17% to become passable is a bit of a fools errand.
