Using guys who havnt even played a second of an nba game is kinda wild

i mean it’s the same logic as not putting lebron and curry on the list despite them being really good at present. we’re trying to anticipate the options 2 years down the line, so including young guys who could plausibly be really good players in 2 years makes sense.

i don’t follow the draft or college ball much, but my impression is that these top 3 picks are all guys who people are as excited or almost as excited for as they were flagg. so i can see wanting to consider them as real possibilities

I mean france will have mostly guys who don’t play in the NBA and people will still say they’re a big threat.
