Ben Saraf being only at 29 is madness… the guy is a lottery for sure. A 6-6 left-handed athletic point guard who’s an all around scorer and a ferocious defender
I think Flagg would be awesome in Portland considering the Maine connection between him and Clingan. I think that would be one of the better storylines coming out of the draft
@@arturbellini6184 Spurs are gonna be too good to get Flagg (unless they jump up in the lottery) and Flagg + Wemby isn’t even the best storyline here. Give me Traore + Wemby
Since there seemed to be some confusion on the Thunder/Clippers/Rockets picks... The Rockets pick is top 10 protected swap to OKC, but also OKC has Clippers unprotected swap so the Clippers pick #11 gets conveyed and Rockets keep their own pick. The complicated part for Houston was resolved when they sent back the Nets 2025 pick because they previously had swap rights with before the Bridges trade (if Rockets conveyed to OKC the OKC pick would have gone to Nets). #29 should go to the Clippers if OKC swaps picks with them.
I dont see how Washington doesn't draft Nolan Traore if they are picking 2nd or after. They have two french guys, getting a third, and then having the most attractive location for Wemby to want to go to if he ever decides to leave the Spurs is the best thing Washington can do. Even if you don't want Traore for those extra benefits. He is by far the most NBA ready guy in this group, and will be able to be lead PG on day 1. He is levels above what Scoot was when he went into the NBA. If the NBA lets Traore fall to the Spurs or something, cancel the freaking league with Traore, Castle, Vassell, Sochan and Wemby as the Spurs starting five they will win multiple titles
He can’t be the most nba ready when cooper flagg exist. He was just cooking team USA in a scrimmage they ran. Yes lebron and nem wasn’t going all out but if you seen that video you would know how tough he is and ready for the league. I’m sure traore is nice tho I haven’t checked him out
@@leorota7314 Because he's both? He's NBA ready and will likely be a top 8 PG in the league easily. He might go first depending on how great his season will be in europe
@@jojofinesse2310 Cooper will struggle a lot on the offensive end because he is super raw and mostly just an athletic beast that has high motor right now. But Nolan has a full offensive game, he can score, pass, pick and roll, self create, shoot. That's why he's more NBA ready
I know you like Nolan Traore, me two... and that's why you should watch Ben Saraf at the U18. He was way better than Traore and Hugo Gonzalez, and Israel beat France (who also have another top prospect - Noa Essengue, who will play with Saraf in ULM) and Spain... I believe that this draft would be wild, and that many teams would pick in spots we weren't expecting... great vids man!
Portland has a lot of veteran players that could be the final pieces title contenders need. If they were smart they could be the next okc thunders if they make the right trades for a ton of picks while developing their young players.
Ian Jackson is an elite high school scorer, for clarity, in one v one scenarios, he can hold his own against NBA players, but he needs to tighten up his handles, foot work, etc. jumper could use some more reps too. If he does get it together, he will be a great NBA player though.
In that stacked U18 Eurobasket with all those Euro Talents it was actually Germany who won I think their Prospects like Jack Kayil,Ivan Karchenkov and Hannes Steinbach are underrated
I'm hoping my bulls land in the top 5 to top 7. I want us to draft VJ Edgecombe, Xavier Booker, Aaron Bradshaw, Asa Newellor ace baily or rocco zikarsky.
Drake Powell is a beast. Bro has been showing out in all the elite camps, and he could be the best defender in the class. Captain Jack gonna go crazy too. He should be closer to lotto. Freak athlete and so much potential.
I dont wanna just write Nolan Traore off or anything but man is my nba fandom having war flashbacks to Frank the tank and Killian Hayes. As a Nets fan its very possible we could drop in the draft or just not be the worst team, and it makes me nervous cause we need a point guard.
Great video but these basketball and other sports UA-camrs crack me up. They talk like they’ve watched all of these guys play a ton and can form their own analysis on each of them. When we know they are just regurgitating what they’ve heard from other sources. Either way still a great channel and video. I just get a laugh out of it.
Raptor fan here, Cooper would be a dream, but I think they would benefit alot from Cooper’s Duke teammate, Maluach. An elite shot blocking big who can stretch the floor. He’s also one of Ujiri’s guys being a product of NBA Africa, Cameroon. I also don’t see how Cooper and Barnes would fit - they’re both very ball dominant. It would be interesting to see.
one question: What happens if LA Clippers have a disastrous season, doesnt OKC own their pick? What if LAC get the number one pick and it has to be conveyed to OKC, wouldnt that be a sick line up?
Clippers having a bad season is not really a stretch to me. They are a Leonard or Harden injury away from high lottery pick. You are right though because hardly anyone mentions Clips as a bottom 5 team. I think they are gonna miss PG more than people think. They are light on talent.
If he’s your only tier one in college basketball, I believe you need a new job Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey VJ E quit drinking the Kool-Aid on Cooper flag you’ll see
Ben Saraf being only at 29 is madness… the guy is a lottery for sure. A 6-6 left-handed athletic point guard who’s an all around scorer and a ferocious defender
Lowkey Scoot, Shaedon Sharpe, Ace Bailey, Deni, and Clingan sounds like an extremely fun young team, constant league pass team for sure to watch.
Dude ace and sharpe on the same team would be nastyyyyyy, that highlight tape would be tough
The amount of bounce on that team would be disgusting, easily on par if not more than lob city

Man who gives af about Maine
@@patrickbateman438 ??? Their moms played college basketball together at Maine…🤦♂️
Nobody gives a fuck, the best storyline he can have is going to the Spurs, playing next to Wemby

Kasparas Jakučionis in San Antonio would be perfect, he plays just like young CP3

Would love to see Flagg with wemby 😢

Watch Ben Saraf! He is a lock lottery pick.bro averaged 28 ppg and 4stl he’s great!
In that stacked U18 Eurobasket with all those Euro Talents it was actually Germany who won I think their Prospects like Jack Kayil,Ivan Karchenkov and Hannes Steinbach are underrated
Khaman Malauch on the pacers would make me VERY HAPPY
I agree
I’m really liking Johnny furphy so far he was tough in summer league
Malauch is going to be a lottery pick and I doubt the Pacers are going to be bad enough to be in the lottery
I'm hoping my bulls land in the top 5 to top 7.
I want us to draft VJ Edgecombe, Xavier Booker, Aaron Bradshaw, Asa Newellor ace baily or rocco zikarsky.
we need zikarsky or bailey because we need a new defensive big man
VJ Edgecombe, Stephon Castle, and Wemby would feed families!
You have to give us reaction about ben saraf
I don’t know everyone in this draft but rn it looks loaded and could be one of the best draft classes of all time
as a lifelong Nets fan, I try not to get my hopes up, but I really NEED this 😂
As a Nets fan I've already come to accept we're not getting that #1 pick lol. I'm happy with anything top 5
@@mtollens my fantasy is that we get the #3 pick and also the #1 pick from the Knicks, after they have the worst season ever lol
@@XYouVandal So far so good 😂 Need them to lose 81 straight lol
cant wait to see Demin in NBA jersey!
Chicago and Utah would be cool landing spots for Flagg but I think Brooklyn is perfect for him. I hope it happens.
Calling it now. San Antonio gets number one pick in the lottery. Flagg and Wemby.
Imagine if the Clippers pick OKC has ends up winning the lottery. Cooper Kupp on the Thunder! Basically SGA and Cooper Kupp for Paul George.
You're absolutely right as Portland does need to trade Simons!
Sarr and Flagg wouldnt be fun. Neither one can shoot😂
Drake Powell is a beast. Bro has been showing out in all the elite camps, and he could be the best defender in the class. Captain Jack gonna go crazy too. He should be closer to lotto. Freak athlete and so much potential.
Lamelo,miller,bridges,Flagg and mark wiliams would be insane to watch
After a year under Coach K’s tutelage, Cooper Kupp will no doubt be the number one pick.
Rocco Zikarsky 1 block per game in 7 minutes as a 17 year old is nuts
I dont wanna just write Nolan Traore off or anything but man is my nba fandom having war flashbacks to Frank the tank and Killian Hayes. As a Nets fan its very possible we could drop in the draft or just not be the worst team, and it makes me nervous cause we need a point guard.
If you could put highlights of the players while you talk about them it would be much better for us to be able to see how they play
You should rank where you think all time g league ignite prospects will end up all time in the nba.
i cant wait to drop my mock draft!! 😁😅😤
Same

Wanna see flagg in Toronto. Would be a great fit and the infrastructure is there already
I would love it as a Raptors fan but I feel like the NBA would never let one of the best American prospects in a while end up in Canada.

Time lord. Robert Williams
@@coryhollingsworth9869 Is it a nickname for the injuries?
@@ElijahJr4531Nah, when he was a rookie he was always late to practice
Rocco is going to slide put ur money on it. Basketball Australia is trying to cover up things he has done to get him drafted
The #Rockets will draft Cooper Flagg next year.
One of the main reason why topic didn't end up as a top 10 pick because of his acl injury right?
Yes
Tre Johnson for the Raps makes no sense - Gradey Dick and Walter being drafted the last two years makes that not realistic
Traore is not a good fit for the bulls. They already have so many guards with Giddey, Ayo, and Coby
If he’s your only tier one in college basketball, I believe you need a new job Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey VJ E quit drinking the Kool-Aid on Cooper flag you’ll see
mikey williams ?????
Cam Carr??
idk how Ben Saraf not top 10 lol
כן...
Cooper Flagg on the Utah jazz would feed families
Flagg and Bailey not gonna be franchise players.
Delusional
Ben Saraf is a top 20-15 player even lottery if he will play good this year
I hate how you wrote that lol
Weak class?
super strong class
Nolan traore is not athletic
Funny
one of the best first steps
@@bossranker9994 slower version of cade
Traore has a quicker first step than Dylan Harper, and a better passer and finisher.
