- young raw player
- talented athletic freak
-coachable drive to succeed
-good measurables
-Narcissistic
These qualities seem to be possessed by projected star players. I think he has a good chance at being the best player of this draft.

He's the next Jason Richardson.

I think that is his floor. His ceiling is Lebron James. He is crazy athletic. Can drive to the hoop at will and is already a good defender. His versatility is comparable as well.

His ceiling is one of the greatest basketballers in the history of the game? LeBron as an 18 year old would destroy this kids first 5 seasons in the league, almost guarantee. Actually, that's not a big enough bet... LeBron as an 18 year old, will be better than this dudes entire career.

how does he compare to Wiggins, Johnson, and Winslow?

The first thing I notice when watching is he has good feet followed by good body control. Although, his handle is nothing special his first step is explosive and should help him get to the rim. It's said that he has a great work ethic, so I do expect his footwork to get better, but more importantly his shooting would also need to improve. That being said I can live with his current development as a shooter, which is his shot is not broken. Finally, he was highly touted before coming to college and despite having an up and down game at Cal as freshmen, i believe he has all the tools to succeed at the NBA level.

he's obviously not LeBron James but in the videos, he does have similar movements in some area of the court, on the fastbreak in particular. Also, his slashing ability reminds me of Wade and the body control a bit of VC. However, watching highlights can make any rookie look comparable to all stars the key is if he has the focus, maturity, and mentality to overcome and improve his weak areas and most the time even that isn't enough.

After drafting D'bustello Bustell I think this time we got the best talent in Ingram.


To Op - Not even close. 10th in my list


Dragan is a garenteed bust.

don't see how there are 9 better players than Jaylan. Murry and Buddy have a shot at being 20 point scorers in the league but i feel Jaylan is more complete.

Aside from the obvious talent/skill discrepancy, LeBron was about 2 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier coming into the league. Different type of player. So lets nip that comparison in the bud right now.

I've never watched him play meaning my opinion isn't worth two cents but the shooting report i read sounds like Shawn Marion.

Disagree. Winslow doesn't have the drive to be a star in this league.

He reminds me of Shannon Brown. No way he can be the next Lebron. Other than athleticism they have no similarities in their game. His ceiling could be Dominique
Wilkins.

Celtic Homer for sure. He will be another average player. Celtics continue to grab good players but none of them are great players

Comparing him to lebron James really...

I doubt it.

I actually like Brown, but I don't really understand what the Celtics are doing.

Would Brown be drafted ahead of Noel if Noel was in this draft? I really don't think Brown would be ranked higher.

But, as always, so much uncertainty with draft picks....and Brown is a special athlete.

How can you limit Jaylen's career with Lebron as his ceiling? The guy could easily surpass Lebron and Jordan and set the new standard for greatness in the sport. The sky is the limit for undersized interior guys who can't shoot.

Winslow was significantly better than Johnson.

how is he undersized as a sf? he has the same measurable as Paul Pierce :confusedshrug:

Jaylen is 6'5.25" w/o shoes. Pierce was an even 6'6". Negligible, sure...though maybe not? :confusedshrug:

Jaylen probably has a longer wingspan though

Probably.

I'm not knocking Jaylen. He just doesn't have the SF size to shift to PF in smallball line ups. ...which is fine, just keep him at SF in smallball lineups lol.

Lets see in a couple years. The guy is already strong as hell. He well pack on even more muscle. He doesn't need to change his physique much compared to the other top prospects

Yeah. I mean, to answer your thread title, sure he can be best pick in draft. Anything is possible if Simmons/Ingram turn mediocre, Bender and Chriss don't reach their max god-like potential, etc. I definitely see Jaylen as a potential non-crazy, better version of Lance Stephenson...or I guess like a Jimmy Butler, in a better sense.

Well...to play devil's advocate, I think Nugz look real nice. I think they're a dark horse to make the playoffs. I predict UK Murray will be a bust, but if he's not, watch out. Also, I believe in Malone. Dude can coach. Nugz are right there...

what would I possibly be mad at? danny ainge turning down our offer so we still end up getting our guy at 7 instead of giving up assets to get him at 3? um, no...im cool with that. :cheers:

im just calling you out for being a huge homer. zero chance you make this thread before the lottery and almost zero before the draft.

we just finished year 1 of our current rebuild. so far, not bad.

But, as always, so much uncertainty with draft picks....and Brown is a special athlete.I really didn't like what Boston did this draft. I think Ainge and his FO spent too much time leaking stuff to Woj and Stein. I know they had too many picks, but they could have traded down and would have had a shot at Brown. I thought Bender was the guy they'd pick since they could afford to gamble on him panning out due to the remaining BKN draft assets.

I also probably would have done #3 to Philly if they were offering Noel. Especially if they put RoCo on the table, though I doubt they happened.
