      @@henny6566 I’d give him a high C+ honestly maybe B-, for a 1st overall pick his career has been pretty mediocre so far. Been in the league for 7-8 years already, only ONE all star selection and has made the playoffs ONCE. He was supposed to be so much better but for the majority of his career has looked like a very good rolpelayee to borderline all star at best.

      Evil Elf Thats fair but at the same time some draft classes are just weak af, and it just happens that way sometimes.
      Maybe if he got drafted in another year, he would have been a 9th or a 15th pick, then the whole narrative would be flipped.

      Zion is probably a right grade at what he gave for Ant and Cade, and that's incomplete. He had one of the best seasons for a 20 year old in the league but it's just very hard to gauge that when he hasn't really played a lot after that.

    Bro let his own personal bias prevent him from giving an accurate assessment of Kyrie. He deserves an A-/B+ considering he was arguably just as good as Bron in that 3-1 finals series and has had sustained success since. He has had a better career than all the B- players he mentioned. Also, considering the year Fultz just had with Orlando, he’s def has climbed to atleast a C.
    Overall video rating: B+

    If Ayton can prove last year’s playoff run and consistent 20/10 performances wasn’t a fluke he could be a B+/A-. So far this season having McGee to relieve him has kept his numbers down but will hopefully be what they need to have a good 1-2 punch to finish what they started last year.
