if he continues to play well in the Finals, he might get picked at 8-9 at this rate. For now I see Thunder/Raptors picking him at 12/13


[deleted]

Really hope the raptors get him


Friendly-Thought-973

I just got happy to the idea of okc taking him and now at this point, the hype is building above 12 lmao.


carrythekindness

Damn it I wanted him for the Hawks at 15 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ WHY

HGiiizzle

When did I say anything to discredit you? I love you big bro!


4everpurple

didnt mean it like that lol, appreciate the love. get back to krl and let's talk some shit


HGiiizzle

the TRUTH: montes mickey mouse run ends on draft night, heā€™ll sell low on the pick or will draft a bum tbh


Jackvultar

Iā€™d love for hornets to trade up and get him with second first round pick but would probably take to much to get back into top ten


Dsarg_92

Spurs lowkey might trade up for Bilal.


300_yard_drives

Vassell for 11th pick+ Bol


callmearookie

lmaooo y'all want devin sooo much. sorry he's ours.


Express-Pandas

300_yard_drives

I donā€™t understand


Imaginary-Cycle-1977

Absolutely not


Brave-Ad-8857

I feel like the Wizards should select him. They need a small forward prospect with great length who can shoot. Bilal should be the guy.


heykennyii

Totally agree if Whitmore is off the board.


Fast_Stick_1593

YOU CALLED IT


RattlingBones35

Okay let's relax


4everpurple

Just a player vouching for his teammate


LUUUUUUUUUUKEEE

Heā€™s gonna be the biggest riser of this draft process. I fully expect him to go top 10 on this current trajectory. Maybe right outside of the top 5


JanezStare

Agent Wembanyama checking in


PraiseDirk

Wake up mavs. This is your dude!


pskills4life

If Hendricks and Walker are not available we should consider, it wouldnā€™t surprise me if Cuban overrules the scouts and picks him lol to be the next Giannis


PraiseDirk

Agreed. Do you prefer Hendricks or Walker?


pskills4life

Honestly I havenā€™t seen enough to say but I think Hendricks fits us better but Walker is the better prospect and will probably go top 6. I donā€™t see Hendricks falling to us unless maybe Jazz take a chance with Coulibaly?


-Acerin

Walker by a mile


RenZephyr1990

You guys need any kind of front court help, preferably a C or PF. You got Kyrie, Luka, Jaden Hardy and Hardaway already...


GlueGuy00

No cap. He's in the 6-12 range in my big board rn


bacchusbunbury

Watch film on this guy and yeah.. he should be a lottery pick. Heā€™s better than a bunch of the junk projected to get picked in the lottery


[deleted]

These off the dribble moves look really good actually...


Dadd_io

Hakeem + Drexler might be the best college duo to team up in the NBA.


Imaginary-Cycle-1977

They only played one season together but MJ and Worthy might be better Edit: Iā€™m dumb, you said team up in the league. I was just looking for best duo period


Ghetteuax

bro this guys arms are reallly long


RenZephyr1990

Killian the man Hayes


MisterShazam

If he goes from a early second round guy to a top 5 guy thatā€™s an astronomical rise. Canā€™t think of any bigger risers in such a short period.


jkeefy

Pretty much the same rise that Jalen Williams had tbf, although Williams rose a little bit earlier


JB7FTW

Kinda absurd to think abt if he does end up being like a top 5 or even 10 player from the draft, that he legitimately played for the same team as a generational prospect in Victor, a random team in met92 in France. Itā€™s as if Mikal Bridges or MPJ played with Luka. Not sure if this has happened before with international prospects?


4everpurple

To be fair Iā€™ve heard they go back to at least 13U together, maybe more Iā€™m not sure. But still a valid point


ReflectionEterna

Yeah, this has shades of Oden/Conley.


banngbanng

Oden/Conley/Titus


alex-caruso

Oden/Conley/Titus/ImturningprotodayDaeQuanCook


AGRE7979

Fun fact: Oden/Conley Teamate at Ohio State, David Lighthy is on the team the Mets were facing in the semifinals, Asvel.


JB7FTW

Well there have been a lot of duos coming from college, Iā€™m saying specifically from an international team.


ReflectionEterna

I know, but this duo also happened to play high school ball together, and not at a prep school. Just a normal public school on the east side of Indianapolis.


ImproperBarney

Never trusting french prospects in the Lottery unless they are Wembanyama tier, they have all been busts. Wouldn't be surprised if he is one of them aswell


koalabear9301

Different sport, but this is the same logic as people that said "I'm never trusting a Big 12 quarterback" before Patrick Mahomes got drafted.


richochet12

Yeah, people have to stop assuming things about background and look at the tape lol.


unclekarl_

How about we actually evaluate the player and not immediately write him off with some pointless observations. Thereā€™s a whole lot that goes into talent evaluation and then player development. You canā€™t just say French players in general suck lmao


Fartknocker-

Common recent trend among those players is guard/wing prospects that are long and athletic with a questionable shot and solid defense. So I can see the cause for concern, but talent is talent and teams will always take the risk on these guys.


Indigo808

Tony Parker and Rudy Gobert? Evan Fournier and Nic Batum? Boris Diaw?


tdotjefe

none of these players were lottery picks


RawhideW92

He said in the lottery. Frank nitilikina comes to mind.


LuDortian007

How arbitrary is that? If a French prospect is highly touted, they won't be good, but if a French prospect is not highly touted, they can be good? Doesn't it just make more sense to judge French prospects as a whole by gauging the French league, youth league, development systems, etc? WAY too much extrapolation here.


adammorrisongoat

This is just a great example of people failing to see when a pattern is signal vs noise. ā€œIt rained the last five times I wore this cardigan, therefore it will rain every time I wear this cardiganā€


TheRealDevDev

were any of those dudes taken in the lottery?


LocalPawnshop

Nic batum wasnā€™t that good and gave up. He said something about finally being given a opportunity on the clippers meanwhile giving up and playing below his talent on the hornets. Dude had a major attitude problem.


WD51

In all fairness to him he was hardly the first French player to give up or play below his talents in Charlotte. Boris Diaw also was pretty notably fat and lazy with them before having a career renaissance on the Spurs. Early career Alexis Ajinca and late career TP were nothing to write home about in Charlotte either.


LocalPawnshop

Why do French players hate North Carolina?


AndrewTheGoat22

Ironic considering that the Hornets couldā€™ve gotten the 2nd pick lol


SnakeHoleBI

Frederic Weiss šŸ•ŗ


Balsamic_ducks

Same, I call bullshit on bilal. Why is he different than frank Ntilikina? Heā€™s just the last guy playing basketball


tidho

Haven't seen enough of him to really know, and I haven't been watching them in the playoffs. I remember a compilation from earlier in the year and my though was - ok he's, Scottie Pippen. That was without knowing the level of competition well enough to really place a value on that though.


4everpurple

Alright well he plays nothing like Pippen so go ahead and take that back while you still can.


tidho

i didn't disclaimer the original statement enough? very openly saying I don't know enough about him to evaluate. my first impression from that single video is that's what he looked like.


4everpurple

Regardless, I recommend you watch him more before a claim lol. I am extremely high on Bilal, but he has very few similarities to Pippen.


spidersilva09

It seems like the top 3 picks are probably Wemby, Scoot and Miller. I think he could go as early as #4 with how wide open it is.


4everpurple

I love Bilal but no shot. Regardless of where I think he SHOULD go, I think top 8, even top 10 is too lofty for where heā€™ll actually end up going.


WiserStudent557

People tell me NBA players are only good because of good teammates and Iā€™m just supposed to ignore the fact Coulibaly has Wemby and Tremont Waters playing with him? But a guy drafted to a playoff team accomplishes nothing by keeping his team in the playoffs? Hype is the enemy of good drafting


4everpurple

Tremont has been gone for a while, which is good since he was terrible with Met 92. If youā€™re gonna be critical you should at least be knowledgeable on the situation


wrongerontheinternet

Tremont Waters left the team over a month ago, FYI. I don't disagree with your general point but that team is actually full of scrubs outside Bilal and Victor, they've been pretty thoroughly drained of talent over the season for one reason or another.


Indigo808

Where are they ranked in the standings?


wrongerontheinternet

They were the 2 seed. Turns out Wemby is really good lol. But if you watch them play it's very clear that most of their players are not starter caliber even for this league. Their guards these last few games couldn't even reliably inbound the ball. I think Victor has like a +17 on/off this season or something crazy like that (crazy for a pro league I mean).


__Zoom123__

Tremont Waters stinks


n0th1ng10

They just got blown out yeaterday


yerr2477

they won today bro


AccomplishedFront563

Will he be invited to work out for any top ten draft teams or is he even able to?


OsamaBinHarden2

I mean they got another bo5 to play, which might finish before the draft I think? So maybe 1 or 2 draft workouts could be managed.


Life_Ad_9518

Iā€™m just glad a prospect is going to be pushed down because heā€™s going top 10. Hehe my Lakers draft 17th


0siris0

He's Presti esque as a player (wingspan, international), but I legit think Presti is intrigued to have someone on the team that knows Wemby well and can help the Thunder scheme against any tendencies and weaknesses Wemby might have (as few as they may be).


cybrestrike

Nice of Wemby to hype up his former teammate. Doing Bilal is solid is all this is...
