I don't watch on a nightly basis, but have seen Ayton play on four occasions. If you don't think he is special, has a chance to be great, not sure what you're on. But get off of it.

Bagley has potential to be really good also. Don't know about the Euro. Not a fan of Trae at all

Just look at Brandon Ingram for proof that early predictions can be very wrong. Coming out of college he was too skinny for the NBA. Halfway through his rookie season he looked lost on the court. And then boom. You can't find anybody that doesn't recognize that he'll be a superstar someday with how he's playing now.

Wiggins is letting his ego in the way up in Minnesota. He's upset that he's the third option on the team. He should concentrate on being a tougher player and not being so soft on the court. He doesn't have that killer instinct like those two do so of course he'd be seen as the third option.

Uh what? He was on top of a lot of experts boards and many argued he should be taken over Simmons. You talk as if he was a 2nd rd pick.

If anybody had him over Simmons at the end of the predraft process, I didn't hear about it. Simmons was far and away the number 1 pick, and deservedly so. I've seen every second of his pro career, and he was lost for a long while. It wasn't until Magic took over the Lakers and took him under his wing that he finally started to figure it out. And then he continued to get better this season and his future is looking bright.

What does struggling early have to do with predraft analysis. There was a lot of talk about Ingram being a better option going into the draft. A simple Google search will show that. I don't think you have your ear to the ground as well as you think.

It has everything to do with the point I was making in the conversation I was having before you butted in. Do us all a favor and don't speak until to. Thanks sweetie.

that link just shows the 31-60. can you give a link that actually works lol. either way, even if SI had him at #1, majority of mocks had Simmons as #1. there was no surprise at all when he went #1 to Philly, every Laker fan knew we were getting Ingram.

I never even went to 31-60 so no idea why it links there. This site absolutely sucks with linking from mobile if the site is found through a Google search. That's the address I get in my address line when viewing 1-30 so

Anyways, you're changing your story. You said Simmons was #1 for everybody. I'm pointing out he wasn't. While most had Simmons ranked 1, there's was a lot of discussion about his character which led to a debate between the two with some going Ingram.

Stoney said Ingram was too skinny and talked as if people are seeing him as a future superstar only now. He was debated as the best prospect in his class and compared to KD in predraft. What I'm saying is, people saw superstar potential a long time ago.

Stoney said (paraphrasing here) how people said that Ingram was too skinny for the NBA, AND (if you kept reading lol) for most of his rookie season he was proving his doubters right. Now, Ingram is looking like a future all star.

By the way, who's alt account or what PBM am I talking too right now?

12321 said what.

Let's not start that crap. This is the only account I have ever had and it is 7 years old. I made a few posts back then, perused off and on for years and started posting more recently.

Alvin Gentry is the best dressed coach in the NBA, he has the best threads. Second place isn't even close.

Ben Simmons with back to back Triple Doubles

8th Triple Double of the year passing Magic Johnson as a rookie
