Exactly. With how talented young athletes of every sport are right now, I find it hard to imagine there will be a “weak” draft anytime soon. Generational talents are called that because they’re rare, every draft isn’t gonna have 2 obvious possible generational talents and 3 unicorns going into it, a lot of drafts have a generational talent that isn’t seen until they develop into that. There’s gonna be a bunch of really solid rookies next year, that’s not gonna be weak. There just won’t be guys who are gonna average 20/10/5 as a rookie like the last couple.
@@eliyarrows2456I was thinking this exact thing when hearing people call this draft class the “weakest of all time”. there’s no way in hell the 2024 draft class, with all of the modern sports technology and training at their disposal would be worse than the worst classes from decades previous
I'm tired of hearing people say this draft is "weak" because there isn't some household name like Zion or Wemby. NBA fans are better than this, the best player in the league right now was a 2nd round pick and the 2nd best player in the league was drafted 15th overall. We can't call a draft class weak until 5 years down the line when we see what these players turn into.
@@fishnr embiid giannis jokic luka shai davis, curry, tatum, durant, haliburton. That’s 10 and i probably could’ve listed more players, and once again im NOT talking about playoffs, just the season in general, obviously Brunson playing top 5 or better this playoffs.
absolutely cause the spurs aren't really looking to get a super star player. i assume they're looking for a jamal murray level of player where they're the #2 guy who plays off of a generational player but isn't like a top 20 guy themselves. risacher and dillingham or stephon castle and dillingham would be the dream
Favorite time of the year. Great analysis as always. Getting solid foundational pieces will set up teams perfectly for 2025 class which has great top 10 value.
Dalton Knecht is the name to look for. He will be in the league for a long time! High floor. Moderate ceiling. Solid role player. That can shoot the hell out of the ball.
Great points P. I think Knicks are where they are not just because of Brunson, but also the hustle, grit and grind of Josh Hart, Donte Divincenzo, Miles McBride, Isaiah Hartenstein, even Alec Burks. Same with Timberwolves with McDaniels, NAW, Naz Reid etc. and Mavs with PJ Washington, Derrick Jones Jr, Gafford, Dereck Lively etc.
People forget when they were saying the 2020 draft was weak, saying Edwards shouldn’t be drafted because he liked football more. In just 4 years the whole narrative has changed
So confused when the “weak” draft convos for basketball and football like the point of coaching is too enhance and grow what is there already these guys aren’t finished products its so idiotic keep doin ya thing P love from DC
As a raptors fan ive been looking at the guys projected late first round and early second round. One guy that peaked my interest was DaRon Holmes. ESPN has him ranked at 61 which seems kind of crazy to me so i was kinda curious what you thought of him P?
Raps fan too. I just watched him and SROS' mock draft and the rankings had Holmes around 50. They both said he should be a 1st rounder. And I agree, I dont know how he isnt😂 if raps got em thatd be nice. I hope they dont gamble on Edey personally
As a Wizards fan it’s nice to have a top 2 pick, was fed up of the 9th pick every year, would have loved to get Sarr, not sure who my preference is at 2 , between Castle and Topic for me right now
If im remembering correctly wasnt the 2020 class also viewed as "weak"? If so it gave us ant lamelo hali as the stars and lottery picks. But then down the board you have guys like maxey who is a star and was drafted in the 20s i believe then role players like quickley payton pritchard cole anthony josh green saddiq bey and more
Grat analysis i'm a little lost on who my spurs should look for. I known u gonna draft a guard and a foward but i dont love this years guards in terms of fit with vassel and wemby
Imo i think Topic is a perfect fit. Even Castle could be a really good option, since he wants to run as a main PG for a team. But i feel u, i have no clue who my Raps are pickin lol.
The 2024 Draft has a ton of old-fashioned big men in it. Guys at the PF and C spots right out of the 70s or 80s. They dont shoot 3pt shots or play 20 feet from the basket. They aren't athletic freaks. But a lot of them are going to play s long time in the NBA. Chances are at least a few of the 2024 Draft will be stars. I just hope my Blazers can get one of them.
I actually really like this draft class. I look at a lot of these players floors and its higher than most years. Its a very safe draft class for at the very least getting a rotational player out of the pick. Sure as you mentioned it's not clearly as straightforward as other classes which gives a lot of anxiety to lottery picking executives, but for anyone in the play-ins they should find some solace in knowing they're at worst getting someone who'll be a helpful role player in the long term rather than a multi year g-league bust.
Dalton Kncecht is underrated, Devin Carter is underrated, Tyler Smith, Zachariah R., Jimmy butl.... whoops I meant Stephon Castle.. Buzelis.. all underrated
I don’t like when people say this because you’re relying on hindsight. Of course every draft is gonna produce good players. I think when we say “a weak draft” we mean it’s harder to figure out who those good players are gonna be
when the draft "experts" created the narrative two years ago that this was a weak draft it was based on the fact that "scouts" only gave this H.S. class 13 5 star recruits and it was a weak international and returning class. And guess what. They were right. At that time it WAS weak. But since then, the following players have joined the talent pool that those "experts" didn't consider at the time: Sarr, Risacher, Topic, Salaun, Ajinca, Sheppard, George, Grant-Foster, Carter, Knecht, Carrington, Ndongo, Missi, Flowers, Dadiet, Watkins and Mitchell. And these are all first round talents. But these draft "experts" suck and they have egos so they haven't updated their takes about this draft class. I'm really good at this and I'm telling you this is a good draft class. Not great. Not elite. Good. Better than last year's tbh. Nowhere near a "weakest draft class ever" b.s. you're hearing As far as the Wizards. That's not my team but here's my opinion. I think they paid Poole because they believe in him. And since they do, they will want someone sharing the backcourt with him that can protect him on defense. Someone that is pass first and will do the dirty work. That to me is Castle. Castle Poole Coulibaly Avdija Bona (with pick #25) that my friends is a team easy to root for. Trade Kuzma for picks and/or young players happy to be depth.
People overvalue the number one or top 10 picks so much like it’s only way to win. Like some have said Jokic is best player in the game as a second rounder. Also throughout history while there has been a Lebron or MJ, there are guys like Anthony Bennet or Darko Millic. Even number one picks that end up great or decent don’t make you some automatic finals contender or will change your franchise. Look at Wiggins or someone like Jabari Parker. Both top picks in the same draft. I remember they were hyped as the next superstars and they never really live duo tk that hype; though Wiggins is still a really good to even great player to an extent and isn’t a bust to me, but considering his hype l, he didn’t live up to it. People forget basketball is a still a team game like football, soccer, or baseball, even if it is more individualistic in impact. Yes a single player can have a bigger impact, but for me doesn’t solve everything. I feel like many fans and even team get so brains washed into this thinking they don’t understand there are more ways to win. And not everything in life will be perfect which is why I don’t get caught up in getting the number one pick. Fact some people cry about getting the 7th pick makes me cringe and annoyed how many sports fans in America are arrogantly spoiled. If you watch soccer, teams have no “drafts”. They need to build from the ground up and to be fair can’t beat the system of great teams. Still there are teams that have good season but in general, NBA fans or American fans should be grateful you have a chance at talent. Many smaller clubs in Europe, but don’t have this luxury all the time.
If Washington is looking for a guy and Atlanta thinks they can keep Trae what do you think about 2+Kuz for 1? I don’t know trade value like that but if Sarr is the only GUY in this class you gotta do what you gotta do if you’re Washington right?
You did a really good job with this video. Very non-chalant style but also a very important topic. You did a good job going through why this draft is being mislabeled, but also casually went through most every team and it shows how much ball you know and gives further reason to believe the point youre trying to get across. Seen you on TTW before but like this kinda solo content from you a lot fr
I'm excited for every draft, no draft completely sucks but this definitely seems like a weaker draft. Any draft without potential superstars is a weaker/weak draft, doesn't mean it's bad just that it doesn't have a superstar in it like others. Not that there won't be surprises later, not that everyone will suck just that it's weaker/weak comparatively
if they want,let say, buzalis possibely to be 6 or less, why could they use their 2nd pick choice for that player? Is it forbidden?n(try understand the draft process)
This is an amazing breakdown vid I really hope this blows up (or at least gets some good clips out there) so more people can get this kind of understanding, beautiful vid P
I haven't really followed this draft class at all so don't really know anyone that much, but i just need my Knicks to get at least 1 big wing in the same mould of OG, if we can add a bigger scoring guard as well then i'm happy
I think people heard everyone saying this is one of the weaker classes in recent years prospect wise and just ran with it saying this draft was just weak. No this draft is weaker than the past few because yeah it doesn’t have a wemby, a lamelo or ant, a zion, or a Luka and Trae, but that doesn’t mean it’s weak that just means we’ve been spoiled
The way the new cba set up the league wants the talent spread out so drafting ready to play role players is higher than ever. I.e Cristian Braun great pickup for Denver in the draft 2 years ago and it looks like in 2 years he could be a starter
yo p love the videos, i’m not super familiar with college players so could you like throw some pics of them up when you mention names, i would love to learn more about these cats.
while this draft doesn’t have the most superstar upside players this class does have a lot of players that can be the missing piece for a team or high level starters for a long time
Half the players who are viewed as future all stars/superstars are busts and half the all star level players in the league today aren’t viewed that way coming into the draft. Tatum goes third one year, Bagley does another. Ant goes first one year, Ayton does another. Shai goes 11th one year, McDermitt does another. Even when there’s a clear #1, #2, and #3 in a draft, it rarely ever works out for more than one of them. So saying the draft is weak because there isn’t a clear #1 is stupid because Ayton and Fultz were clear #1 picks that nobody argued with lol. Remember when Wiggins and Jabari Walker went 1 and 2? Nobody argued with that, yet Embiid and Jokic were in that draft. Marcus Smart and Aaron Gordon went in the top 8. They had Lavine, Nurkic, Randle, and that was considered one of the weakest drafts in recent years.
I agree but one thing I’ll say is the Derrick White type players are still hit or miss like any other being drafted. I think with those high picks u gotta go potential cause there’s no guarantees either way
@@lth3mvplmao what are you gonna do when there’s a bunch of really good rookies next year? There’s no generational prospects but most of the stars in the league today weren’t generational prospects.
I just have a problem with guys saying these players who haven't played a second of NBA basketball are weak. I think your point about hindsight with these drafts is exactly right. How am I going to compare guys who have been in to the league for years to these 19-21 year olds
Yea this class isn’t filled with top heavy guys but just like most drafts there is always going to be those who breakout and become either all star level players or fringe. Also even if there aren’t that many high level guys there will be plenty of players who become quality role players which every team needs. So yea calling this class “weak” is just a lazy take.
Tbh i don't think the draft is weak at all. As least in talent on the top. I think Sarr is underrated i think his agility and speed at that height, defensive versatility/athleticism.. hes got handles as well can guard 2-5.. he's SUREFIRE #1 IN MOST DRAFTS... His form is good enough to build on and he's confident. Ignore the narrative
I know he's going #1 I just think it's more obvious since they day this year there's no clear #1. He chose to go crazy in Vegas same way wemby did against g league.. they release the reigns when they come here and let bro play more nba style free. Watch the game. Sarr vs G league ignite
I think people are confusing the term weak with the fact there isn’t really a guy who has that superstar potential we expect but there will likely be a good number of solid role players
The #13 team winning the lottery isn't "cool" when the #1 team picks #5. Again. The lottery is broken. A play-in team should not have a shot at the #1 pick, and the worst team in the league should never pick #5.
I disagree this is exactly how it should work. Why? Look at the process philly. Tanked for years, just to do absolutely nothing with Ben simmons and Fultz
@@Htiy They did nothing with Simmons and Fultz because they were busts. That doesn't mean that the lottery isn't designed to help the worst teams. The current lottery fucks over the worst teams for absolutely no reason, and benefits teams that don't need as much help. Clown take.
Straight up lol. as a hawks fan im chillin. went into the draft expecting like Williams or Knecht. Probably ending up with Sarr. As far as I'm concerned its a great draft lol
I completely agree with you. This is my first year watching an entire NBA season. Just watching a bunch of different teams on different nights, it became extremely obvious how important role players are to team success. Yes, star players can go off and single handedly win games. However, sustained success is best achieved when every player is carrying their weight. I'm a Spurs fan. Watching 50-60 games, the team was really only able to win/come close to winning when the players not named Wemby stepped up to make their fair share of points. Doubly so, on nights where Wemby wasn't performing as well as he usually does. To me, depth and team chemistry are way more important than the number of star players a team has. I also agree with what you said about the Pistons. They got their number one pick. He's a really good player and clearly not a bust. It's not the League's fault that the front office is incompetent and can't build a competitive team around Cade. If the Pistons got the #1 pick this year or next year and still sucked the following seasons, I'm pretty sure Pistons fans would still whine about things being rigged against them.
Great analysis as always Pierre. If you wouldn't mind, can you tell me what you think about Hunter Sallis? I look at him and I see a very underrated prospect who can fit into many situations. He has a high floor and a high upside in my opinion. He does a lot of things very well and very few things not well.
As a Hornets fan I’d love for them to draft Matas Buzelis, Cody Williams, or Ron Holland. I’m not opposed to someone like Stephon Castle or Reed Sheppard. But I really like the first 3 guys I mentioned.
I've been feeling the same way and I'm glad someone is saying it. One guy who I think is getting overlooked a lot in this draft is Isaiah Collier, I could see him being a very solid starting guard in the league in a couple years.
I ain’t watch yet but i already agree because that title is my exact thought. This draft gonna produce so much quality players for teams, I’m excited to see this guys prove everyone wrong.
DRAFT SEASON PIERRE IS LIKE UNTUCKED KYRIE OR MASKED LEBRON

After a few minutes a can see this will be a good pod. Common sense reporting.
Never thought this class was weak personally so much talent throughout the draft and the future is incredible for the league.
I agree but one thing I’ll say is the Derrick White type players are still hit or miss like any other being drafted. I think with those high picks u gotta go potential cause there’s no guarantees either way
I thought thumbnail was Kyle Kuzma
I fux witcha bro and your takes. Earned a sub from this vid. Not a casual fan 💯💯
I personally don’t think this is a week draft they have some good players
All those players the Knicks got were do to the free agency and not the draft tho, so that's a moot point.
Cavs should trade DG to Wizards for kuz kispert and a pick
Thank you p I'm tierd of people calling this draft weak they just don't have big names
It’s is weak don’t care what u say it is
I agree but like him talking about drafting role players w top 5 picks def says something…
@@lth3mvplmao what are you gonna do when there’s a bunch of really good rookies next year? There’s no generational prospects but most of the stars in the league today weren’t generational prospects.
@@jaymorgan231Most teams need complementary pieces. There’s only a few teams like the Wizards that need a foundational piece
@@eliyarrows2456 I’m going to say if there good there good if there bad there bad, still a weak draft don’t change the point
I just have a problem with guys saying these players who haven't played a second of NBA basketball are weak. I think your point about hindsight with these drafts is exactly right. How am I going to compare guys who have been in to the league for years to these 19-21 year olds
this is a solid draft with plenty of potential. casual fans might not agree
Somehow i agree with every take you gave. Subscribed
Yea this class isn’t filled with top heavy guys but just like most drafts there is always going to be those who breakout and become either all star level players or fringe. Also even if there aren’t that many high level guys there will be plenty of players who become quality role players which every team needs. So yea calling this class “weak” is just a lazy take.
Can’t wait for the other video . I don’t know any of these guys except like 6 ppl . Haven’t seen anybody else play
Who should the kings draft
Tbh i don't think the draft is weak at all. As least in talent on the top. I think Sarr is underrated i think his agility and speed at that height, defensive versatility/athleticism.. hes got handles as well can guard 2-5.. he's SUREFIRE #1 IN MOST DRAFTS... His form is good enough to build on and he's confident. Ignore the narrative
I know he's going #1 I just think it's more obvious since they day this year there's no clear #1. He chose to go crazy in Vegas same way wemby did against g league.. they release the reigns when they come here and let bro play more nba style free. Watch the game. Sarr vs G league ignite
Ree- Saw- Shay. No hard R, it's French. You don't pronounce the last letter if it's a consonant
I hope at 18:00 you talking abt cam reddish
I think people are confusing the term weak with the fact there isn’t really a guy who has that superstar potential we expect but there will likely be a good number of solid role players
nah, these people are saying it's one of the weakest classes ever which suggests it's NOT just about there not being a consensus superstar at top.
What you think about cam reddish situation bro?
This draft will be the most underrated in decades
As an NBA fan I would love to see the Rockets use the 3rd pick to put together a package for Lauri Markannen, whatchu think P?
I wouldn’t. Going pay him a lot just to get a little better. It don’t make you that much better.
The #13 team winning the lottery isn't "cool" when the #1 team picks #5. Again. The lottery is broken. A play-in team should not have a shot at the #1 pick, and the worst team in the league should never pick #5.
I disagree this is exactly how it should work. Why? Look at the process philly. Tanked for years, just to do absolutely nothing with Ben simmons and Fultz
@@Htiy They did nothing with Simmons and Fultz because they were busts. That doesn't mean that the lottery isn't designed to help the worst teams. The current lottery fucks over the worst teams for absolutely no reason, and benefits teams that don't need as much help. Clown take.
This isn't NUMBERS ON THE BOOOOOOOARD
I really like the idea of Castle in Charlotte
Is this draft secretly really really deep?
Straight up lol. as a hawks fan im chillin. went into the draft expecting like Williams or Knecht. Probably ending up with Sarr. As far as I'm concerned its a great draft lol
I completely agree with you. This is my first year watching an entire NBA season. Just watching a bunch of different teams on different nights, it became extremely obvious how important role players are to team success. Yes, star players can go off and single handedly win games. However, sustained success is best achieved when every player is carrying their weight. I'm a Spurs fan. Watching 50-60 games, the team was really only able to win/come close to winning when the players not named Wemby stepped up to make their fair share of points. Doubly so, on nights where Wemby wasn't performing as well as he usually does. To me, depth and team chemistry are way more important than the number of star players a team has.
I also agree with what you said about the Pistons. They got their number one pick. He's a really good player and clearly not a bust. It's not the League's fault that the front office is incompetent and can't build a competitive team around Cade. If the Pistons got the #1 pick this year or next year and still sucked the following seasons, I'm pretty sure Pistons fans would still whine about things being rigged against them.
Great analysis as always Pierre. If you wouldn't mind, can you tell me what you think about Hunter Sallis? I look at him and I see a very underrated prospect who can fit into many situations. He has a high floor and a high upside in my opinion. He does a lot of things very well and very few things not well.
As a Hornets fan I’d love for them to draft Matas Buzelis, Cody Williams, or Ron Holland. I’m not opposed to someone like Stephon Castle or Reed Sheppard. But I really like the first 3 guys I mentioned.
You know ball. Good stuff 💪🏾 Rockets 🚀 fan here. The future is bright.
I've been feeling the same way and I'm glad someone is saying it. One guy who I think is getting overlooked a lot in this draft is Isaiah Collier, I could see him being a very solid starting guard in the league in a couple years.
You're spittin' fire and dope knowledge. Gained a new follower! I have evaluated this draft for months and really like its depth. Too much hate 😎
Thoughts on Rob Dillingham? (I haven’t finished the video yet so idk if he addresses him.)
Flip the face cam my boy! 👌👌
P talking that talk about the role players. The game has evolved so much you can’t just go out and grab roster fillers to win a chip
for someone who doesn’t watch college ball this video is perfect, thank you P
thanks for putting your face in the thumbnail. makes it easier for me to know it’s you and click
they just don’t have any big name personalities that’s very talented like a vic,melo,etc
One thing I always respect bout you is ykb and u always keep it 🅿️

I ain’t watch yet but i already agree because that title is my exact thought. This draft gonna produce so much quality players for teams, I’m excited to see this guys prove everyone wrong.
Yap yap yap
Maybe not weak but in comparison to this past draft and next year's Id say mid.
