Way way too soon for a mock even tho we all know Victor going 1. Surprised the Pacers have 3 picks. Will be interesting to see if they commit to youth or look to package them and make a move.

This guy is special and hopefully the Sixers can trade back into the first round to nab him cause he won't last into the 2md round....not even close. Lakers should take him as the next great PG to bring show time back.

The next great PG to bring Show Time back....had 1 assist in the game you highlighted and averaging less than 3 per game on the season. Jesus, your takes are so hilariously bad🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's the difference on how I evaluate talent compared to you by just looking at highlight reels that makes even scrubs look like stars. I don't care about college stats but how they play under pressure with plays that even pros cannot contained which Sasser is so gifted at. Most scouts act like you do by looking at stats and miss baskets like this poster who peg Sasser to be taken so low.

Marcus super quick release is unstoppable at the pro level that no other player can touch in college. If you think there is a better PG in the upcoming let me know smart guy. You know you that the player you think is better will struggle once he turn pro compared to my Sasser who the Lakers will want since my Sixers already have Maxey and don't need another star pg on the roster. Laugh it up cause you have no clue which player can succeed or not Lol

Whatever helps you sleep at night man. I'm sorry but a guy who can't even get 3 assists per game isn't a passer and sure as **** isn't Show Time Lakers PG material. But hey man, you do you, most certainly a franchise will quickly pick you up given your high level scouting chops....or you'll just keep being the local psychopath in PSD. I'll go with the latter.

Maybe you should look up the definition on psychopath before calling someone that. Just a suggestion.

OK, so you're a self absorbed, grandstanding @$$ and the total embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Have you been diagnosed or are you un-diagnosed?

MAVS should trade a 1st and salary filler for Vanleet. I think he complements Doncic well.

This is supposedly a very good draft. I wonder though if its better to have the middish picks like the Jazz or just one high pick. it differs from draft to draft.

Every draft has tiers. This draft it's pretty much the top tier is 1 player, the 2nd is 1 player, the 3rd is 4 players. Like most drafts the questions really start to mount around 7 down.
