Right now NBA Draft Paolo Banchero was the number 1 pick by the Orlando Magic, while Jabari Smith was the 3rd pick by the Houston Rockets, and right now I feel sad because our full-blown Filipino player Kai Sotto was undrafted, but still, I think he can surely train harder and aim for it next season,
Well, he is not on the top list of players that would be drafted so I'm not surprised. Though we are hopeful that he will get drafted, but we have to accept the reality, yes, there's always a next season, all he has to do is to improved himself and try to be a dominant center, he is still young so there's still plenty of opportunity for him.
Yes Indeed, and I really wish this will not going to be an upset for him but could be a Rekindled fire that will ignite to put the effort to be 1st on the list, right now Bronny James is struggling aswell, there is always a next time for both kids, making a big leap in their rankings because I would like to see a full Blown Filipino Playing in the NBA and the Tandem on Lebron and Bronny well kind of curious what can happen but yeah Kai Sotto still has a ceiling he can fill, I think he needs to increase in speed and gained more muscle for the next draft,
It looks like Jalen Brunson's performance with the Mavericks without Luka made some scouts change their perspective about him. It will be a great addition for the Knicks if ever they will use that remaining cap space to take him in.
But, will the Mavs have more to offer to make him stay? They just became a championship-caliber and with the Christian Wood trade in their roster, they became more interesting.
The Knicks are trying to chase a player who can carry the team but they traded all of their picks including Walker for future draft picks. They are chasing Brunson but the question is will the Mavericks let him go knowing that he, Luka and Wood can be a good trio for the team?
Brunson has been the second option of the team offensively and when Luka is injured, he is the primary scorer and he played very well. He is very good at floater and side 3pt shots. For me, he will be more productive if he is in the Knicks but if he will chase for the ring, the chances is higher with the Mavericks. They went to the Conf. Finals and stunned the Suns and with the addition of Wood, they will be stronger now and who knows they might be a championship caliber team.
Lets see where will Brunson land because it will be interesting. Will Spike Lee's decision be a success now or it will be a bust.
In my opinion, the Mavericks will not do a trade like that, but if they are needing money they can squish something good for the New York Knicks but pretty much it is an impossible trade for me, Brunson has proven his worth and the Dallas mavericks will not let a chance just to make a wrong decision, I really think every team rethink 1st what happens in the finals Boston Celtics is a full bloom defensive team, the Golden State Warriors is an Offensive team with a coordinated defense, I think the other teams that haven't made to the finals should learn the importance of defense more on offense,
