Guys, I do not really follow the NBA, so I am learning from you.  Here is how I see the trade:  This was a loaded draft, and a year from now, a player at #19 is likely not to be as good as this guy--who was ranked #11 on the big board I was using (Bouknight was #7, fwiw).  Considering that this draft is being compared to the 1984, 1996 etc drafts, you have to assume the value is there.  I do not see the down side. Jones needs a year, so basically they have a "free year" to groom him for the NBA.  Assume he entered the draft in 2022--where would he go?  Top 8?  Probably.  Sorta how I think of it.  I will shut up now and learn.

Great prospective..

How good is Melo's brother?  If he is added to the mix, what does that mean?  (Not immediately--I get that, but say by 2022-23?

Would you like to bet on that???

Kia's body alone is a year away from getting Significant NBA minutes..

Great potential but right now he is a project.. He has to develop his body as well as his game before you see him get NBA minutes..

Exactly. Kai had all the hype but without the stats or NBA center body.

He'll need time. They worked him out so they must have seen something.

Iffy if he makes the roster.. But right now he is a bench warmer and maybe competition for the Martin twins..

Pick up 6'11" 265lb DayRon Sharpe. Day one NBA body.

I'll be satisfied. Wouldn't mind my dark horse Garza in the second either.

Still some value left at C.

I’m good. Not going to bet. Vernon has a NBA ready body last year and he was in the g league. I’m just saying that Kai is more talented right now than Vernon and Nick. 

No he's not.. Please stop.. Kia might be a better athlete but Vernon was avg. 20 points and 9 boards and 2 blocks a game at Duke.. Kia wasn't close to those numbers at Texas.. Vernon has a post game can shoot from 3 range and is a excellent passer for a bigman.. He just was lost on defense and covid.. That's what kept him in Greensboro last year..

 

You need to watch some Vernon.. And him and Nick got a year of development on Kia..

So we got three young Centers all better than modern Bis, competition is good, who can handle the pressure is the question

It’s Kai, not Kia. I finally had to say it.

Kai or Kia isn't a better player then Vernon in college and isn't better then him now... He has more potential then Vernon but right now Vernon would barbeque chicken that boy .

Don’t care about college. Kai will be the better NBA player. He went 19 overall in probably the best and deepest draft in over how many years. Should’ve went higher. Vernon? Was a 2nd rounder right where he should’ve went. 

If college doesn't matter where you're pick doesn't matter either (Joker 2nd round pick) so that opinion bs...

He might develop into a better player but he isn't right now and won't be this season.. Which is what I was saying...

Plain and simple...
