No Ajax in late first round. I'm kind of surprised with all the hype around him recently but I understand why.

His defense on Hawk in the BET semis was great for sure. His athleticism and size are ideal as well. I was surprised because he was believed to be coming back to Marquette. He clearly made the correct decision. It is interesting though. In the beginning of he year most thought Kaluma would be the one leaving early. Instead it's OMax Prosper leaving and Kaluma staying in college ball for another year.
I mean different teams, but yeah for sure. For anyone wondering if defense matters in the NBA, it does.

Jalen Green has the tools to be a high level scorer in the league. He’s still super young.

Pretty sure he ended his rookie year dropping like 30 a game.
One game does not an average make...

Jackson made a mistake. People are dwelling on "Top 15" because that is easy to argue against. But could he have gone first round next year? Yeah, easily, if he improved his shot.

A lot of Kobes, but no Andre Jackson in the 1st round.
I didn’t think he’d go 1st. He’s a risk. But now we are in his range.

To ignore this thread for my mental health. Just a heads up to everyone. 3 players were 22 or older and picked in rd 1. 0 of them shot less than 30% from 3 on decent volume & 0 scored less than 15 a game.

Take that info for what it’s worth

I just don't see that as a good pick for the Celts.

If you think he was a top 15 pick next year, I have a trip to see the titanic for $250k to sell you
AJAX cannot shoot, did NOT improve his shot while at UConn, & apparently, doesn't even WANT to shoot. I don't care whatelse he can do or what a great kid he is. The pro's are not going to throw millions & playing time at a kid who cannot shoot at all. Get it!?!

I was asking about Jett Howard and it got merged with this thread. I don’t see how that kid is possibly a lottery pick, beyond the fact that his dad is well known in NBA circles.
I agree, doesn’t really impress me at all, especially at 11.
