2019 NBA Draft
- Thread starter Nathan S
- Start date
I've been cold on Reddish, but the gap between him and Barrett is narrowing. And none of the other mainstream top guys are really surging so...why not?
Hell, you could even make a case that Duke will go 1-2-3-4.

4??? Jones? No way he gets drafted high.
What are people’s thoughts on Tucker from Iowa state with theHouston pick? Osu trued to recruit him late, and he seems like a players who had a ton of room to grow in the right situation.
Why not? Every facet of his game other than his scoring is elite or near-elite, and slowly but surely he's improving as a scorer too. I think anyone who's been watching Duke would agree that he's been as essential to their success as Reddish or Barrett.
Agree that Horton-Tucker would be a solid choice with the Houston pick. One of the youngest freshmen in the country, and he's shown flashes of potential in a lot of different skills. Could be a steal.

Jones is maybe a bit better then his brother who is a career backup. Come on you know jones is not going to taken top 4 there are way too many better options ahead of him. He won’t even be under consideration. In fact he could easily go between 21 and 33.
Who? The whole thing about this draft is that there's no one after Zion (and maybe RJ) who stands out as an obvious high-lottery guy.

I would be willing to mortgage a lot he does not sniff top 5. Would be shocked he goes before mid teens.
He is an a decent prospect but maybe at the end of the lottery or mid 20s. He has serious limitations in terms of upside. Huge huge reach at 4.
Humor me and give me a top-5, then.

guys like JA Morant and Romeo Lanford, little and Culver, Garland ( just to make a few) are going to be taken well before jones. Jones seems like a good bet to be a solid backup nba Pg, but he is not going top 5 in any year. Seems like you really have under valued the guys ahead of him and over ranked jones.
I don’t know anyone that knows the draft that thinks Jones is going over Morant. No one....

Morant and Murray State have cooled off...Langford and Indiana have *really* cooled off. Culver apparently forgot how to shoot. Little's been completely overshadowed by Coby White. I don't want to waste time going further into detail (unless you want me to), but I stand by my claim that none of those guys would be seen as potential top-5 picks in a typical draft.

Dude you need to take the L and move on. No one that covers the draft believes Jones is going to go top 4. You are all on your own here!!! I feel like you are having difficulty separating a good college player vs a good nba prospect? Honest question how long have you been following the nba draft? I don’t think you get that teams value upside much more then a guy with solid production who has phyisical limitations.
Lol...ask any PG who's faced off against Jones about his "physical limitations"
EDIT: And my point is, other than Zion, RJ, and *maybe* Morant, no one is really a consensus top-10 (let alone top-5) guy in this draft. It's wide open.

But you are telling me that
Jones could be the fourth pick and then you tried to tell me teams cooled on Morant. Niether is true at all. You seem to have your own college basketball season going on different then all the experts. I would love to make some easy money , how confident are you jones will go top 5??
What, do you have sources in every front office now? Sure, 99% of the country has never seen a full Murray State game and only knows Morant from highlight reels. NBA front offices aren't necessarily that oblivious.
I'm not confident that Jones will go top-5. I think Zion has a 100% chance to go top-5, RJ has a 95% chance, Morant has a 60% chance, and no one else has more than a 20% chance. It all comes down to what teams are drafting and what their front offices value in a prospect.
