Ingram and Ball are pretty much the same age. I don't know if Lonzo is any better of a prospect than Ingram was.

You mean when I said he was always a project and that he was always going to have a rough year out the gate? Oh

He'll come in and be more pro ready but I see them both as very good, not franchise cornerstone guys.

Is josh Jackson for sure stuck at 3? That might be a really good spot to be in.

This is one of the best drafts in years and it is all because of the amount of PGs that could be very special. Fultz and Ball are great, as are Fox and Monk. But that kid Smith at NCST is going to be a beast at the next level. If he falls out of the top 5, which is pretty likely, someone is going to get a steal.

It's a toss up.

The upside of Ball is rich man's Penny Hardaway.
The upside of Fultz is poor man's Russell Westbrook.

Embiid and Simmons need to be added too.

Is it too early to bump this thread? I got 0 upvotes and 4 downvotes for saying Embiid and Porzingis are better than Fultz and Ball.

Considering fultz has been injured and we're about a month into the season, yea I'd say it's premature. Although I agree that ball is far behind those two, but fultz, jury is still out.

ZO, his leadership and unselfishness is already making a positive impact on a pretty underwhelming Lakers team that has been competitive in basically every game this season and has shown no signs of ensuing complacency. Once his body fills in and his defense continues to improve, he’ll be very Jason Kidd-esque in his future performances, just great upside for this guy and it ain’t over by a long shot. I never understood what Markelle Fultz did to justify no. 1 draft projection/selection other than being 200 LBs for a 6’4 guy which essentially entails finished NBA product bc he sure didn’t prove himself a great leader with Washington and all those games they lost. Eh just the nature of the NBA draft beast.

If zo learns to shoot watch out. He has a crazy long ways to go though as he is shooting at a high schoolers level right now and if not for one extreme outlier can the suns it would be middle school.
