Mike Gribanov joins to talk about some combine takeaways and then we breakdown Sharife Cooper and JT Thor. Enjoy.

TLDR; What's the probability that Scottie Barnes shoots league average from 3? That's the probability that he becomes a very, very valuable player. Also, he's fun to watch.

As always, offensive and defensive breakdowns, then projecting and evaluating NBA outcomes. I think Bouknight's best realistic outcomes are not what he looked like in college.

I try to justify a much lower than consensus view of Kuminga, going over general athleticism, offensive skillset, and defense projections. Then I theorize about what some of his good outcomes might look like and how valuable they are. Enjoy.

In this episode I do the usual analysis of a single prospect, first discussing Jalen Green's offensive and defensive strengths and weaknesses. Then I try to walk through what his best, average, and less valuable outcomes might look like. I spend a minute or two at the end comparing Evan Mobley and Jalen Green as draft prospects. Enjoy.

I, Sean Derenthal, talk about Jalen Suggs’ physical traits and athleticism, where he is offensively and defensively right now, and then discuss a few avenues he might take in the NBA.

Evan Mobley's NBA success is subject to the same uncertainty and realistic development curves that the rest of the NBA draftees are. Where do his basketball attributes currently stand, and where does he need to develop to attain the kind of potential that he clearly shows as a 7'0" ballerina with a promising jump shot?
