I have never been as confident that someone will be a star as I am with Fears. Dude is super talented and all he does is put in work. His work ethic at only 19 years old is just different.

It's totally mental, after every practice you always see Zion shooting 3's with the coaches. But he has this mental block during the game where he thinks if he not getting to the rim it's a bad shot.

Completely agree. He took over 2 a game in college, and his first game in the NBA he was putting them up no problem. Something happened with him mentally that made him stop attempting them. He’s never been a sniper from three but he’s also never been a horrible shooter. His shot is at least respectable enough for him to put up 2 to 3 a night when they leave him completely unguarded from three. I’m honestly surprised that Borrego didn’t get him to attempt more and I hope that Mosley somehow does.

Chet played unbelievably soft in the WCF, but with that said it’s pretty rare to get a mobile 7 footer who can shoot and is an elite defender. I would trade Murphy for him in a heart beat. He would be the perfect fit next to Queen

Mosley has a .461 career winning percentage.

Yeah he took over a 21 win team in Orlando. You don’t go from 21 wins to a playoff caliber team over night. The last 3 seasons his winning percentage is .540. Say what you want, but taking over a team with 21 wins and making them that competitive is impressive. Willie Green, who you all compare him to, would never have been able to do that

I wish Hetzel had been on teams that were more competitive in the past, but I don’t hate us taking the upside swing with him. I would much rather him then Ham or Borrego

So we indirectly traded this years 5th pick and 8th pick for Queen? Obviously still horrible, but not nearly as bad as it could have turned out

A lot of good defensive talent left on the board, makes the Tyson pick look even better. Any of those 3 you listed would be great adds to the secondary. Kaden mcdonald could potentially help a lot with addressing our issues against the run. Quite a few intriguing pass rushers left on the board as well. There are really a lot of ways they could go

I would’ve been okay moving up for Love if we hadn’t just signed Etienne. Doesn’t make much sense to invest $50 million, the number 8 pick, and a second round pick all into the running back position in one offseason. That said, I think Love will be awesome so while I’d be upset about what we gave up I’d be excited about the player

Bain is pretty much the only guy we could pick who I wouldn’t be happy about. He's a pass rusher without elite explosiveness, with suboptimal measurements, and who won the vast majority of his reps in college with pure power. Imo of all the guys we could possibly pick at 8 he easily has the highest likelihood to bust.
I also don’t see the world where he is a star. I think he could be a very strong run defender who gives you decent pass rushing upside, but never a guy who is truly going to be one of the premier edge rushers in football. I feel like there are so many better ways to go at 8

I said he’s Justin Jefferson 2.0 months ago on here. People didn’t wanna hear it. Now look at him and the hype he’s getting

I have a tough time saying that anyone is going to be the next Justin Jefferson, but when I watched him play that was exactly my first thought as well. The smoothness and creativity of his routes really does look a lot like Jefferson.
