Walton
Draymond Green
Wade
Kareem


And now Morant


Why isn’t the kid not considered the #1 pick?

This triple double talk has gotten out of hand. It's a great stat, but doesn't auto qualify you as the best player.

I hope to hell the Pels can land Morant somehow. I am so impressed by the way he plays.

Say the Hawks or Cavs get the 2nd pick.

Do they take Morant?

I would rather the Mavs draw pick 2 than one (both unlikely lol) solely so they could take Morant and not have to deal with the shitstorm of not taking Zion.

He's awesome, and he's like 60x better than RJ Barrett. But Zion is a generational athlete. He's a year younger. He has played against more NBA players than Morant has. Go look at his stat lines from the ACC Tourney. He's absurdly efficient.

Morant might end up being the better player, but it's not hard to see why someone would consider Zion the top pick.

ETA: The other thing to consider is Zion is more box office. Also, every team picking at the top probably has other plans.

PHX will likely look to add a vet to win more next year. Atlanta has Trae. Cleveland took Sexton and he came on strong. NY isn't passing up Zion. Chicago isn't passing up Zion.

Shaq had 26-13-11(blocks) in 1992 vs BYU in the NCAAT.

Most people on the MSB are very crowd mentality. They get very emotional about their beliefs.

But, yes, Morant is easily the top player in the draft.

But Zion sells tickets. Media circus has made him the number 1 pick.

But, whoever gets number two pick will walk out smiles lie they stole something.

Has a very Reggie Bush feel to it doesnt it?

Because Zion seems like a generational player. You can't pass on that.
