Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

CBS released 2 rounds 2 days ago

While reputable bleacherrport a week ago ( 2 rounds(

Stating someone is projected to be undrafted or 2nd round is not a mock lol. You have to have a complete list of 60 players. Cause if not who are you cutting from the 60 to make room for the 60 you will include. It's easy to claim a player is to be drafted without making a list of 60

Who knows how often Euro or German press mentions Ariel to be a 2nd round prospect. The NBL mentions it alot
It's senseless to count all of those instances he was mentioned as a draft prospect lol

So...you are basically saying that these organizations (NBA Draft Room, ESPN Australia Australia, the Jump, and NBA Scouting Live) do not know what they are talking about and are talking bullshit? Sounds like you are mocking these mock drafts (pun intended)

Let's be clear merely mentioning a player will be drafted is not a mock draft.
A mock draft is a list of 1 to 60 of names to be drafted.

When they collate all mocks to arrive with a consensus mock draft , of course they don't count mere mentiones of a player being drafted. (They won't count the Jump report as a mock LOL). That s totally ridiculous and quite common sense.

I think you're smart to know that, that's quite obvious. To know the difference between a complete list from 1 to 60 mock from a mere.report that a player was cited as to be drafted..
There are hundreds of reports citing a player will be drafted every week. No one counts that

Here's an interesting bit: https://twitter.com/PBAinsider/statu...r8eILORYQ&s=19

According to this one, Baltazar might consider playing overseas.

If he does, about time that a big does consider playing overseas.

He might not even play as a big overseas.

[IPC]

He might not even play as a big overseas.

Actually. More combo forward than true big, ala Morris twins (sorry for using those cuckoos, couldn't find better examples). Sometimes from the perimeter, sometimes from inside.

Mock drafts include players all the way to 100. Some 2nd round picks were in the 80 to 90 range in mock drafts.

I think you are missing my point here...all that I stated here is that at least 3 entities mentioned that Kai is projected as a second-round draft.....so it means that there are supposedly experts that think that he will be in the second-round draft....those are the facts.....you mentioned that putting Kai above Ariel is laughable.....well, ..not sure if it is laughable but there are supposedly experts think that Kai is actually better then Ariel......these are debatable and maybe not necessarily laughable.....please note that im not debating the definition of what constitutes a mock draft.....i'm more interested if the experts think that Kai can be in the second-round draft.

However, out of curiosity, do you think that projecting Kai as second round draft by these supposedly experts is bullshit? or do they carry some weight?

Our Gordon Hayward.

PBA is going to be malding if they lose another big talent like Baltazar. It might be better for him experience wise to play overseas than to play in the PBA. He has what it takes compared to let's say, Carino with his Ability to play and defend as a 3. Leagues like T1 League, KBL or even the B-League would fit him.

It is actually better for him. He will have the chance to play as a 3 or 4. Unlike in the PBA where he might be forced to play 5.

good luck with that, I already shared a link of mock draft sites that the NBA itself used and he still dismisses those.

I think that some of argument of Quinito make sense.. I hope that the likes of Bolick, Adams and Greg should finish the conference first before leaving... PBA must solve this problem before it will be a normal trend in next couple of years... Some people here say wala ng kontrata eh.. But cmon!!! In a middle of the conference? I understand if they change teams just like Banchero because they still in the league.. But guys like Bolick, etc... eh they not just disrespect the team (Northport and TF deserves it anyway because they are farm teams) but they also disrespect the league as whole (Although deserve din nila).. PBA must impose a law for this.. For sure, many players will do that and for sure the league will be in trouble...

FORMER top rookie pick Roosevelt Adams has signified his intention to test the PBA market after declining the contract extension offered to him by Terrafirma.

Adams had an option to extend for a third year — his two-year contract expired on Dec.

And why would the argument makes sense? Why would Roosevelt Adams keep playing if his contract with the team is already expired? That's not disrespect to the team. Adams asked for $12-16k and Terrafirma came back with a $6k offer. That's just business. You saying "PBA must impose a law for this" but they already did. PBA's "5 year ban rule":

"On the other hand, a five-year ban from the PBA awaits players who refuse to suit up if ever the mother team does match another team’s offer, and does not grant a release."

What new, draconian rules do you want them to impose? Because obviously the 5 year ban rule is not working as they intended so far.
