Sexton looked pretty good for the Cavs. Aggressive taking to the rim, and his shooting touch should emerge. Wendell Carter jr. was an absolute beast especially on D for the Bulls. He was swatting shots all over the place. This draft looks really good at least 1-10.

carter and knox would of been higher picks if they went to different schools
but there are some big concerns, and he's young so not at all saying its final. He doesnt seem to understand the game at a high level. He has extremely impressive skills and physical tools. He can get by guys with his first step, but he doesn't seem to recognize defensive rotations at all. He'll draw a help defender and have guys wide open for mid-range shots or 3s and elects to take contested shots, unless he doesn't recognize the open player to begin with. He did it on many occasions yesterday and I've seen him do it at UK too.
Hopefully this part develops, it's not even crazy LeBron reads but just a matter of giving the ball up to the open guy in front of him. It won't prevent him from being a good player but he can really take his game to a high level as he is already at his best in the PnR.

part of that will come with jnowing his teammates and where they like to be on the court...
but i agree a ciuple of times he forced some shots at the rim and got bailed by a foul call
Athletic, big 18 year olds who are still growing into their frame NEVER understand the game at a high level. Name some who did.
Step one is to learn how to use your body. Step two is to learn how to score, and physically learn how to defend. Step three is to learn where to put your body in a variety of situations, relative to your teammates and opponents.
Btw, interesting re-draft for 2107 linked below. Knicks would have taken John Collins, Frank would have gone 14th. Biggest jumps would have been Mitchell and Kuzma. The biggest disappointment, imo, with what they got in Frank isn't his potential, it's what they could have had instead.

Thanks! I think the thing with Ntilikina is that we have to almost treat this coming year like his rookie year due to his age. He is still only 19 years old, and is within a few months of age with guys like DeAndre Ayton, Trae Young, Lonnie Walker, Collin Sexton, and Luka Doncic.
He has a lot more growing and developing to do. He is already there defensively, hopefully as he gains more experience he will become more aggressive and assertive on offense.

Giles, Skal, MBIII, Fox...if this was high school basketball, the Kings would win it all.
