  1. The first overalls this last 4 years have been legit! Might be 5 years when cooper flagg looks like the real deal!

  2. Trae is out of there
    They have a young core to build around now
    Young doesnโ€™t make any of these guys better and has been a liability on defense since heโ€™s come into the league. Do right by him and put his offensive abilities on a team that can win in the next few years and start the rebuild.

  3. He looks alot smaller then what I remember him listed at… Wasn't he supposed to be 6'9 or something he looks bit smaller then that. JJ looks like a c compared to him.

  5. He's gonna be special .. he plays good defense, quick and has a nice step threes. His ceiling is higher than Luka Doncic.

  6. I hope Risacher is not a disaster. Lets give him a chance, the season is still early.๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  7. 19 years old. dude should not even be in the nba yet. but damn to think how high his ceiling is. cant wait to see him grow and get more exp. kid is good

  8. The Atlanta Hawks is an empty high calorie team.

    They can score but the Hawks unfortunately win when it doesn't really count towards the NBA 2nd Playoffs through the NBA Finals.
