2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

They do scare me a bit

I’m not sure I’d want to take them top 6, but they’re supposedly both elite athlete (like top 1% and top 10% on the nba)

With size and some playmaking

At some point you bet on that athleticism translating

But I’d hate to be the one forced to do that.

I’m lower on them than most but they’re still probably worth a lottery gamble

But huge risk and downside

I have walker and Whitmore ahead of them right now

Mook had a very short prime.

But, he couldn’t shoot for shit either, first 2 years of college.

He became a pretty decent 3 and D guy.

But, you don’t take those guys at the top of the lottery.

Hell no to both.

Honestly never heard of these kids. Are they dominating the 16-17 year olds?

Maybe they are the Milli Vanilli of basketball anyway.

They are in Overtime elite.

I said this a week ago…

It’s freaky how close their stats are.

They are identical twins, the same height, on the same team, averaging almost exactly the same stats, slated to get drafted one after the other.

Not only that…

He only played 8 games.

Both he and Payton started the season injured, before ever suiting up.
