2018 Thread here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3861071 I'd like to keep a running tally of our successes and failures as long as this big dumb forum is still chugging along. So put down in stone your predictions for the 2019 class and we can all go back and laugh when people say they knew Zion was going to be a bust all along or that it was obvious Bol Bol was the 50pt a game behemoth he is destined to be.The idea is to post your opinions, no matter how ill-informed, on how the recently drafted class will pan out. I like to do this after the draft as team and fit will likely make a difference, so you don't have an excuse as its pretty obvious the Suns will completely ruin Cam Johnson. Which 8 players will have the best career (regardless of draft position)(note if you are ordering or not, and its more fun if you do) Which 3 guys taken in the lottery (top 14) will bust? Which 3 players outside the lottery (top 14) will have the best career? ROY Prediction (feel free to put up to your top 3 in order)? Who will win the MCW award for best rookie numbers despite being bad? Lockback fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Jun 21, 2019 |

Which 8 players will have the best career (regardless of draft position)(note if you are ordering or not, and its more fun if you do) 1a. RJ Barrett [I'm expecting him to score at a high level for NYC. If NYC is willing to force feed Kevin Knox shots, I can't imagine how many RJ will be getting] 1.b Ja Morant [He is coming in at the right time where the top point guards of the league are all getting into their 30's and he will come in and have a chance to be a perennial top 3 PG. 1.c Zion Williamson [I'm expecting a Larry Johnson career arc. 22/12 out the gate but regressing after 25] 4 Cameron Reddish [Like most people I expect a Rudy Gay version 2.0] 5 Jarrett Culver 6 PJ Washington 7 Coby White 8 Luka Samanic [San Antonio will develop him into a very high quality player] Which 3 guys taken in the lottery (top 14) will bust? Cameron Johnson Rui Hachimura [He seems like a cerebral player who would have done well with a good team like San Antonio, but he is with the Wizards who will try to make him a spot shooter and gently caress up his development] Ryler Herro Which 3 players outside the lottery (top 14) will have the best career? Luka Samanic [San Antonio Developing him] Sekou Doumbouya Nassir Little [Bonus: Bol Bol will do well if healthy] ROY Prediction (feel free to put up to your top 3 in order)? Ja Morant [I think Ja is going to be in a position to put up a 20/9 season like Mighty Mouse did in Toronto in '97, there will be a narrative to vote him ROY even though Zion is better] Zion Williamson RJ Barrett Who will win the MCW award for best rookie numbers despite being bad? Cameron Reddish [I think he will eventually be good, but he's going to be a low efficiency volume scorer the first few years] I am certain nothing in this post will be looked at as silly or foolish a year from now.
