Good point!
Very true. In contrast, Kobe waited until he was an All Star before he was publicly known for abusing women. Primo thought he could jump the line. You have to be a star first, then you can get away with bull and still be lionized. That’s America.
Good point!
I didn’t realize he was that much older. Makes more sense why he dropped.
He wasn't that old, by draft time he was 21 years and 2 months. For reference, by the time of this year's draft, Brandon Miller will be 20 years and 7 months and the Thompson twins will be 20 years and 5 months.
Thompson twins are bashed for just that reason, 20 yar olds playing against HS players. They’re the twin versions of Sharpe in this years draft.
I already posted this, but there are 9 players older than 19 on TaT’s FR mock, and 21 players 19 and under. Age makes a difference in perceived remaining upside.
I didn’t think he dropped in general, much less because of age. He was relatively unknown and actually shot up the sraft boards towards the end. To me, the question was: maybe he’s actually better than we thought?
But that's the problem, that they're 20 year olds playing against guys 2-3 years younger that do not challenge them, meaning that 1) you can't trust their production and 2) their development stagnates. Jalen Williams may have been older but he kept developing and there's no reason to believe he's done improving. For instance, Steph Curry was 21 years and 3 months when drafted. Desmond Bane, Jimmy Butler, Pascal Siakam were well over 22 by the start of their first season, and developed dramatically. Also there's plenty of 18 and 19 year olds who never develop at all. Being younger may give you a broad estimate of where a player stands in terms of his development, but reading too much into it may be as harmful as disregarding it completely.
I don’t know. This seems like a sniper approach exstatic
I was wondering who you were feuding with and why you were bumping random draft threads
Yeah ex isn’t exactly worth it.
He started bumping long before I chimed in, and then someone bumped one of his misses. Dejounte doesn’t need a feud to bump himself for the auto back pat.I was wondering who you were feuding with and why you were bumping random draft threads

Oh so it was a defending his pick type of thing. Yeah he takes the draft pretty seriously and tbh I’m all for it. I don’t even really know anything about the players until I look at the list he gives with his tiers and then I research a few myself to see what who I like and don’t like. Tbh my draft process I look for specific things and if a player doesn’t do it then I’m out on them as a whole.
Anyways the thing I hate about it is all the takes after it where people just defend to the core bad picks, like Primo even after it’s obvious it was the wrong pick.
Quite the sucking contest happening on the board tonight. All the more impressive it’s an auto-fellatio scenario.
