it's now the dawn of the magic

There have been young stars that are stepping up massively these playoffs and proving themselves.. Where do you guys rank the top 10 players under 30? Here's my list...

1: Giannis
2: Jokic
3: Luka
4: Tatum
5: Ja
6: Booker
7: Mitchell
8: Jaylen
9: Edwards
10: Trae

Good list, personally I would take Booker over Ja, but agree with the rest. I think in 12 months time we will have seen Brown and Edwards overtake Mitchell too.

The Magic won the lottery.. OKC #2, Houston #3, Sacto #4, Detroit #5..

The top 3 are standouts this year with Holmgren, Smith and Banchero. A bit of a drop off after that although Ivey is good too..

Detroit lost massively to only get #5..

Holmgren is such an intriguing prospect, he has the highest ceiling but probably the lowest floor out of the top 3. Smith plays so similar to Tatum when he was coming out of college, and I'd love to see him go to OKC and paired with Giddey.

Keep an eye out for Dyson Daniels, born in Australia and expected to be a lottery pick.

I think Holmgren will be good. But it will take time for him to get used to the physicality. He'll still produce offensively though as his stroke is legit and he'll block a tonne of shots.

I like Smith and Banchero. I think Banchero could end up being the best player in the draft because he's so physically strong. Like Scottie Barnes is.. Smith is really athletic.

Daniels reminds me of Exum. Hopefully he has more offensive upside and a better NBA career. He's athletic and can play D well though.

Giddey should have made the All-Rookie 1st team.. Now he'll have a chip on his shoulder going into next season..

He missed too many games. 54/82 games isn't enough.

Jalen Green missed a bunch too. Embiid won rookie of the year and he missed half the season. Anyway, Franz Wagner is really good so it's not a huge snub. But hopefully he uses it as motivation going into next season as these guys love using shit like this to make them even better.. Giddey seems like that type of guy.

Did Embiid & Davis retire?

All the ones who made the first team played a minumum 64 games.

Rookie of the year is not voted the same way as the rookie teams and Embiid should've never won it.

I like that my boy Dejounte is in there.. Was going to put him in mine. Stupidly left Embiid out. Forgot that he was only 27, 28..

The Sixers should have listened to me and traded for Dejounte and picks/players when they had the chance. They'd be a title threat for years with Murray, Maxey and Embiid.

Boston doing it easy against Miami.

 

[B-Train]

Huge response from the Celtics. Smart almost had a triple double. Horford back made a huge difference too. Now they have to win games 3 and 4 at home.

 

[From the area]

Miami had that “off” game. Butler needs help. If he can get it. Miami in 7.

Horford Finals MVP coming up

Great comeback by the Warriors
