I mean , this is money isn't it?    I don't want to use Steph Curry as a comparison, but who else is there to name?    such a lights out shooter and the way he moves without the ball is top notch.

Don't think it matters much what happens the rest of the way in the tourney.  Already one of the last teams left.    Also some negatives on

Simmons -  Could not carry LSU to participate in the MM tourney. Which is a pretty bad thing.  Academics red flag.  Is it just about school is not for him or he really puts little effort/does not want to "learn".   If #2, it cause alot of headache for teams/coaches.   Regardless of how talented he is, he can't just play "freestyle on the court".     

Ingram -  Lacks explosion.  He does not have blow by your man ability. Defensively struggled at times to guard out to the perimeter.  Long strides but needs momentum to build speed.   Also very skinny.  Right now, is sort of positionless/tweener.     Very long , simple ball handling skills (but good for size) ,  good shooting touch in any way (spot up, on the move) and good competitive kid.   I think his future in the NBA is a stretch 4, like Nowitzki.


Possible? Thoughts?

 No. Absolutely not, Doesn't matter what he does the next game or too either.

Never stated I think he will. The question is, does he have a chance to leapfrog over Simmons and/or Ingram.

Heild is more Ray Allen/Eric Gordon than Curry/Jerry West. He should go 3. Simmons is a blend of Odom and Malone. Ingram is a blend of PG and KD. So those two have to still be the top 2 favorites.

It's becoming more and more apparent that if this draft has any strength, it's at the guard position. Ingram has a high school body and Simmons has a grammar school shot. I hope we shop this pick as hard as possible.

I love Hield but he's 99% not going top 2.

Which team would pick him at #1?

there's a 95% chance that #1 is Simmons, and Ingram is #2.

Simmons has Hall of fame potential. Ingram has multiple All Star potential.
Hield might be an All Star one day but he's more likely to have Michael Redd/boderline All Star potential.

No.

Also, any Curry comparison is asinine. Curry's ballhandling is off the charts, Hield's is mediocre. A more accurate comparison to Hield might be a right handed Michael Redd

 Of course you can't compare anyone to Curry, but in all fairness Curry's handles were no where near were they are today.

 Kid has improved his handles tremendously to his credit since coming to the NBA. Good news is Hield looks to have a similar work ethic, let's hope he keeps it up, especially if we Draft him!

I saw someone compare him to Gilbert Arenas.  That could be a good comparison.

This is a facinating look at the NBA mindset.  Hield is probably more of a sure thing than either Simmons or Ingram.  Simmons could easily be a Michael Beasley (massive talent who never fulfills it) or a Chris Webber who can't shoot.  It could take years before Ingram develops the body to play in the league.  But the NBA only cares about upside, even if it's never achieved.

Was Rodney stuckey drafted #1?

Buddy is flavor of the month

Hopefully he makes it to his second contract

I don't see it at all. Arenas was cat quick, with great handles, and had an amazing first step.

Me neither. Hield is also a way better 3pt shooter than Areanas. I think C.J. McCollum is a more accurate comparison for Hield. 

[Donoghus]

Absolutely no way.
