Who do you think looks better so far of the top 2-4 picks?

Where would he project in the 2027 NBA Draft.

What would be a realistic floor, expectation, and ceiling?

Edit: Context of this game is that he erupted for 38 points in the adidas Next Generation Tournament final in Rijeka, Croatia, capping an impressive weekend that earned him MVP honors.

The recently turned 17-year-old, 6-foot-9 Serbian wing finished with 38 PTS, 7 REB, 2 AST, 2 STL, and 3 BLK against Zentro Madrid, shooting 5-of-9 from three in Pablo Laso Academy's narrow 76-72 loss.

Edit 2: He is in the 2028 NBA Draft.

Was Yaxel's grades the main thing that held him back or was he not highly recruited regardless?

I didn't realize his story and it's actually pretty miraculous. He almost didn't play, started out at JUCO, and eventually made his way to D1. I don't know if the potential was always there or if nobody really saw him.

Thoughts on the nets core

0 Upvotes

I’m ngl I don’t think it’s the end of the world but as a nets fan I really think Sean marks track record in tbe 2023 and 2025 drafts have been abysmal. Like I know it’s early and late round picks don’t always hit but man gun to my head rn I think only egor is a future starter and Nolan a bench player. The rest of the guys just look like future overseas players. Idk how a GM who’s been around for a decade still has this job security but idk maybe it’s just me but this place is a dark one rn

Tyran stokes is just Yaxel Lendeborg if he was 19 years old

0 Upvotes

He’s going to be runaway #1 pick and would’ve been in the same convos as the top 4 guys this past draft if he was in that class don’t overthink it

Mike Schmitz messed up on Morez vs Yaxel

0 Upvotes

Yaxel is averaging 18/8/4 playing 34 mins a game. Morez is playing 14 mins a game and averaging 6/3/1. He can't even stay on the floor. Sure, he's massive and has played some good defense on some big guys. But our team does not have abundant offensive threats. And we already have PJ and Naji and Gafford and Lively at big. What we don't have is another dynamic playmaker who can step up when Cooper or Kyrie are out. I don't care that Morez is 19 and has upside. All the other 19 year old rookies are dropping 30 and making instant impact just like 24 year old Yax. Our top 10 pick should not be this ineffective. Total botch job.

In hindsight is Cooper Flagg a better pick and prospect than Wemby?

• Upvotes

I am seeing things Flagg is doing at 19 and its absurd. A GM wouldn't be crazy for picking Flagg first?
