Late to the Ball party but if you think people are skeptical off the one game you're not paying attention. Also, I think using Kidd, Rondo, or Rubio as reasons not to be worried is silly being that all three are absolutely elite PnR players and all were exceptional defenders. None of these things are true about Ball, and I'm of the belief that you don't just develop the ability to be an elite PnR play overnight. Some things are just innate

He's a much better shooter than Exum

Yeah you late haha. We've been talking Ball's weaknesses for several months now. One game isn't going to change opinions for either side

Didn't Exum play at a higher level though overseas? Plus he showed out against American players also. I don't know much about Frank but I'd like to hear from a scout or someone that followed him on why he's a better prospect than Exum was.

I'm aware lol. I follow this thread on the low, just haven't commented until I was seeing all the back and forth as if these flaws weren't pointed out months ago

Waaaay better shooter than him. I kinda like his fit with Ben Simmons cause he can play off the ball. Plus we would have basically an all international starting lineup

been too busy this year tbh.
I watched a bti of him at the U18 Euro tournament, reminds me of a better shooting Delon Wright.
Shifty, fluid, but lacks eltie first step.
EDIT.
He's not a better prospect than Exum imo, Exum was a bigger, and better athlete, with a quicker first step.

The biggest knock on Frank is that he struggles getting to the rim
This group of PG's is the best in recent memory so he probably goes after Fultz, Ball, Fox, & DSJr in the 7-10 range

Yeah Ball's long been a polarizing prospect on here. Don't think there's truly a pro comparison for him
He doesn't have the dribble drive attack that any of the aforementioned point guards do, whether it's isolation or PnR and his defense is questionable at best
His strengths. which are well documented, still have me taking him as the second point guard off the board
I believe his intelligence will allow him to develop that attacking, down hill style he needs in the half court. Needs to tighten up the handle first and foremost. I don't worry about his shooting, because again, he's not a score first point guard. Yet you still can't just sag off him

Personally I think the Jazz have a terrible job developing Exum, plus the injuries.
I still see the talent, but looking less likley he will ever get their. shame.

Dennis Smith is the second best PG in this draft imo. Far more strengths than weaknesses. Can make an immediate impact, plus he has that "it" factor.

It's a great PG class, can't be mad to end up with any of em

Only player I'm really sold on is fultz. Everyone is as at best a 2nd option

NBAdraft.net wilding have Fultz at 3 now
Only thing I want confirmation on are his medical records
I could fully see Ainge taking Jackson at #1 though

That's where I would change Ziller's idea and just give teams money according to record. Like if you finish with the worst record, you get $10M, if you finish second worse, you get $9.5M, etc. all the way down to the 30th team.

the success of all these PG's will be the situation they are drfated into. All of them can be great. But if the Kings draft you. Bye bye

Na I agree with him. That Cousins trade will look like a real good haul in a couple of years. As long as Vivek has zero input on who they draft

Kings should get a really good haul assuming they get two top 10 picks
Virtually impossible to mess this up

Yep said this a couple days ago. You can get a big time PG and then a good forward.

I've really cooled on Monk
When his shot is off he doesn't do much else to warrant a top 5 pick
