2026 NBA draft thread

[mvossman]

He is a slightly better scorer (7 point/per game), playmaker (.9 better assists /game) and better rebounder (1.4 better/game) than a 19 y.o Christie in college.  

They are only approx. 2.5 years apart in age (2 years and 7 months), and Christie has already played 4 years in the NBA.  

I would guess if put Christie back in college at the same age, he would perform similarly to Burries.

At best, you can say Burries might be a slight upgrade over Christie overall as a prospect but I still don't see an offensive hub or primary creator that is being suggested now or in the future.

The first sentence is completely ridiculous.  80% more scoring is "slightly better".  These numbers are not close as can most easily be seen by the box plus/minus where one guy is less than 2 and the other is almost 12.

I think you are overselling what Max is and underselling what Burries can be.  Clearly we are at a point to agree to disagree.
