They're estimating his wingspan but it really does look like he has a crazy wingspan for his size but if his wingspan is truly 6'8-6'9, he's truly the 2nd/3rd best guard in the draft.

A guard that's fast, athletic, agile, elite at going to the rim and finishing over size in tight spaces is extremely valuable, especially when you consider his lengthy wingspan. His priors show that he's a promising 3pt shooter too and his comfortability in shooting the 3 off the dribble is special too. I really believe he's a top 10 prospect and he has too many positives for me to be any lower on him. The only reason why he's not at least projected as a lottery pick is because he wasn't scouted properly in high school and was unranked throughout the entirety of his high school basketball career. I wonder what you guys think.

Based on a lot of experts, draft boards and mock drafts, many are saying AJ Dybantsa is the #1 pick. There’s a high chance that the Pacers will win the #1 pick with them being the 2nd worst team in the NBA behind the Wizards who are 1st as the worst team in the league.

There’s expectations that the Pacers are a championship contending team when Tyrese Haliburton comes back next year from his Anchilles injury he suffered in the 2025 Finals. To me AJ doesnt fit with Tyrese at all, AJ is a ball dominant wing who needs the ball in his hands and Tyrese is a ball dominant guard who needs the ball, it’s a awkward fit that could clash with each other.

To me, Cam Boozer fits better with Tyrese cause you can play 2 man game with Cam with Cam’s ability to set screens as a big and roll to the rim for a layup/dunk or pick & pop for the 3. Also, you can put Cam in the dunker spot and Cam overall doesnt need the ball in his hands to be effective, the way Cam scores is usually in the flow of the offense. It’s the same with Darryn Peterson who’s a great C&S 3 point who can make the 3 off movement or on spot up situations. Darryn just like Cam doesnt need the ball to be effective.

AJ has the best talent and best potential with his size, skill level and athleticism but I don’t think he’s the best fit on Indiana. If your Indiana, do you draft talent & potential like AJ for the #1 pick or do you draft the best player that can fit with Tyrese like Cam or Darryn?

Collin Murray Boyles has been overlooked and underrated he has been going off recently.

Collin Murray Boyles out of college was looked as a elite defender and great driver and mid shooter.

Collin Murray Boyles has shown what he can become starting the season averaging 1-2,

3 pointers and was shooting around 40% and has since cooled off.

Collin Murray Boyles has dealt with tons of injuries which is why he has not been the best he could be.

I believe Collin Murray Boyles could average 2 steals and 2-3 blocks in his prime defensively but my question is what can he be offensively?

He is starting to be more confident on the offensive end and has been a great driver kinda reminds me of Julius Randle and is a great passer.

He is an athletic freak he dunks atleast once or twice a game and can guard 1-5 and is an amazing shot blocker.

I feel we also have to take in to mind he is small/power forward having to play the center position and this shows his versatility imagine him next to a real center also the Raptors spacing is terrible.

He has been going off and he is still 19 and in the Month of April he is averaging 28.8 points and had a career high of 40.

Few years ago I fell into the trap of really liking some older guys' tape, and not reading enough into the warning signs that only 1 year of draftable production is super sketchy. Signals that a guy isn't overqualified for the NBA and may struggle to adjust; their production is more about "figured out college" than it is "legit just an NBA player".

Devin Carter is the guy who burned me hardest here, but there are others. OMAX, Kobe Brown, Dalton Knecht.

So... are we making those same mistakes again with Aday Mara? Why feel so differently with him? His FR and SO years were a trainwreck at UCLA. Easy to blame Cronin, but it makes me nervous to hear how many folks have Aday t10

Same is kinda true with Morez Johnson (only a SO, but couldn't play or think at Illinois) or Joshua Jefferson (see Kobe Brown: one year shooting jump is worrisome as a SR). It's different with guys like Stirtz/ Yaxel who have multiple years of draftable production. Don't see that with these 3.

So... am I onto something to fade all three, or is there reason to believe that isn't the case here?

Hi Guys,

Who do you all think the Grizzlies will draft with their picks? Grizzlies have 3 picks in the top 31. Ja is most likely getting traded this offseason, I also believe they will waive brandon Clarke and KCP in the offseason. What do you all think?

Hi my name is much scheme and im declaring for the nba draft, all of you were probably wondering why i even thought of not declaring since Im slotted to be a top 5 pick well when i dropped 40 on AJ i thought about how much money i could get from nil but i changed my mind.

I thought Cooper was gonna be an elite defender and good scorer but instead he has been an elite scorer and good defender.I think the sky’s the limit for him but I wonder is it possible for him.

I mean you guys love the guy and wanted him to be on that level from the very start lololol
