    Nah Cooper Flagg imo is going to be above ALL the players this draft

    Is Stephen A said it then he won’t be the top rookie of the class. Don’t take him number 1!

    I can see the T-Mac comparisons but I think Dybantsa plays more like Kevin Garnett offensively.

    Wemby 1 Steph 2. They do things to get you out your seats basically every game.

    ESPN have been talking about tanking for 3 weeks now. Its ridiculous. I want names, who is doing all this “tanking”. Point shaving is illegal. Let’s call out the cheaters. NBA tried to blame the Jazz and they won their game. Their is a Lottery system. I might be done with ESPN, too much fake drama.

    I’d pick Caleb Wilson #1, think he’s got the best attitude and personality of the group to become a super star.

    Stephen A is one of the least educated pundits out there. No one is taking him serious. Dude would rather play solitaire then watch the game
