And those two did not get to start because of pampering two others. Sure it cost us a few faster starts.Reed #3 to the Rockets and Rob #4 to the Spurs. For those Arkansas fans lurking around just a reminder that Cal can take top talent and still lose.
Weak draftAlso, how is Olivier Sarr's brother the projected #1 pick when he averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds for a team in Australia. Is the draft just that weak this year?
Congratulations.Reed #3 to the Rockets and Rob #4 to the Spurs. For those Arkansas fans lurking around just a reminder that Cal can take top talent and still lose.
Weakest draft in the history of the sport, IMO.Also, how is Olivier Sarr's brother the projected #1 pick when he averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds for a team in Australia. Is the draft just that weak this year?
If Reed Sheppard is a projected top 5 pick, this is the weakest draft in history.Also, how is Olivier Sarr's brother the projected #1 pick when he averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds for a team in Australia. Is the draft just that weak this year?
Congratulations.
i saw where CBS updated their draft mock after yesterday, Reed to the Wizards and Rob to Utah. Dinged Rob a bit for his listed v/s actual height.Reed #3 to the Rockets and Rob #4 to the Spurs. For those Arkansas fans lurking around just a reminder that Cal can take top talent and still lose.
It's in the running pre draft. The 2024 guys will have to be really bad to top 2000 and 2013Weakest draft in the history of the sport, IMO.

I believe it was that and his weight. I think it is stupid also, kind of like what a OL or DL runs the 40 in. 40 yard dash is the most overrated tool used to determine a football players ability. Even at WR and RB. Long list of Hall Of Famers who didn't run a 4.3-4.4. Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith just off the top of my head. Smith ran a 4.58 Jerry Rice a 4.71.Rob measuring 6'1 without shoes vs listed at 6'3 at UK in shoes is the dumbest thing ever. 6'1 barefoot means 6'2 or more in shoes. They're going to drop a guy that dynamic over an inch?
If it was someone listed as a 6'10 center who's really 6'7, then sure I get it. Robs calling card has never been his size.

God no please don't let these players end up on them two teams Reed or Dilly to the Spurs I hope fori saw where CBS updated their draft mock after yesterday, Reed to the Wizards and Rob to Utah. Dinged Rob a bit for his listed v/s actual height.
It’s a weak draft and Sarr isn’t seen by most scouts as anything remotely equivalent to some of the more recent top picks. Also, he’s playing in the ABL, which is a full fledged professional league, so while those numbers aren’t eye popping, they aren’t seen as a big disappointment when he’s doing that as a teenager against much older and more experienced professionals.Also, how is Olivier Sarr's brother the projected #1 pick when he averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds for a team in Australia.

Might be women in the front offices. They are known to do that.They're going to drop a guy that dynamic over an inch?
3&4 in the lottery and I'm salty?Congratulations.
Sorry I didn't realize you were congratulating them since they probably don't read this board. I assumed you were being snarky toward me. My apologies.3&4 in the lottery and I'm salty?
What's wrong with being happy for the two players?
Just wanted to clear the air.Sorry I didn't realize you were congratulating them since they probably don't read this board. I assumed you were being snarky toward me. My apologies.
How can top 5 picks be under sold ? I think you do not understand underselling. What do you expect scouts to say "they should go 1/2 in the draft ? LOL. Underselling would be saying "he has top 5 talent, but I see him going 15th or so." Nobody has them out of the top 10.Imo people are underselling rob big time. He's a top 5 pick in most drafts. Rare combo of insane athleticism, playmaking, shot making, and shooting. You just don't find that every day.
Reed would be lottery in most years. 42 inch vert. Great decision maker. Defensive playmaker. Elite shooter. People are really selling him short draft wise.
2 top 5 picks coming off the bench of a team that won zero postseason games lol. Love Reed and Rob but wow, what a unbelievably weak draft.
I think I saw that Reed was only 6' 1 3/4" without shoes. This seems to be the norm for all college players. All seem to be listed 1 to 2 inches taller in college and high school.Rob measuring 6'1 without shoes vs listed at 6'3 at UK in shoes is the dumbest thing ever. 6'1 barefoot means 6'2 or more in shoes.

I think the 165 is the bigger hitch but I'd guess it is just a ding and should not hurt him too badly.Rob measuring 6'1 without shoes vs listed at 6'3 at UK in shoes is the dumbest thing ever. 6'1 barefoot means 6'2 or more in shoes. They're going to drop a guy that dynamic over an inch?

The scouts aren't underselling Sheppard; it's some UK fans that don't think he's a top five talent. IMO, the ones who don't think he's a top 5 talent likely don't watch the NBA and are probably wrong a lot about NBA things.How can top 5 picks be under sold ?
