Man this forum better continue somewhere. Where else can we insult each other about our draft pick binkies? LOL.

He can only insult me with Mickey because that's the only thread he can hang onto.  Never mentions about Sabonis, Aaron Gordon, Jayson Tatum etc.

Going back to topic,  thank god Danny skipped on Josh Jackson.  Seems like a freestyler not serious to grow his game to the next level.

Did you forget that you said Trey Burke was the next CP3, Kaminsky was going to dominate with his Prime Big Al post game and 3pt shooting, and Buddy Hield should be the #1 overall pick?

I always liked Gordon, but questioned you when you suggested he was a better version of Blake Griffin. Sabonis I liked too, as I always thought he would be a solid pro, but would struggle defensively because his lateral quickness was lacking.

So it's not necessarily that I didn't like these players, even Kaminsky as a reserve stretch big, but rather I didn't think they were as good as you were making them out to be.

Summer League doesn't mean much.

As evidence.

https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/summer/1/NBA-Summer-League/0/awards

Except if you look at only true rookies to win SL MVP in the past 10 years, you get:

Blake Griffin
John Wall
Damian Lillard
Lonzo Ball

That’s 3/4 in All Stars so far and could be 4/4.

The point is, you can find truth in nuance.

and if you go back 3 more years you add Jerryd Bayless and Randy Foye.  If you look at all the 1st Team Players, even the true rookies, you get a hodge podge of talent. 

Summer League means absolutely nothing.

is that a fair comparison ? 2018 was the first year where all 30 teams participated in summer league. The farther back you go, the less teams there are (meaning less elite players)
