Save the screenshots cuz Uzan will be the next in a long line of guys I predicted to be drafted (or made nba team)before many of the experts did.

Hits (from the past decade):
Buddy
cousins
Trae (I said he was 1 and done after the first few games, while many “fans” said his “hero ball” wouldn’t make it
in the pros lmao)

Reaves

A long line of guys? We've had like 5 guys in the 2000s make it to the NBA for any length of time.


Najera, Buddy, Blake, Trae, Reaves

Cousins, Osby, and Taylor Griffin had a cup of coffee in the NBA.

I wouldn't really call Cousins a hit. Yeah he was drafted but didn't even make it to the regular season.

Everyone thought Trae would get drafted. But most thought he would not be one and done.

Of course, but saying someone is a "lock" who isn't in the Trey Young or Blake Griffin category is silly. AR wasn't a lock since he wasn't even drafted.

Very true, I was agreeing with you sorry if it didn’t come off that way. You have no way of know if a kid outside the lottery will make a roster.

But there were posters who repeatedly assured us he was a lock not to make it. I'm all for the wait-and-see approach to see how players develop but it would have to be adopted by both ends of the spectrum.

There’s literally one guy in the last 20 years who has made it in the NBA who the majority of people here thought would not. AR.
