Haliburton
Ball
Edwards
Wiseman
In terms of how I think their careers will go, although it's WAY too early to predict, I would rank like this:
Edwards
Ball
Haliburton
Wiseman
I think all four are destined for good careers though in what was considered a weak draft.
Since this will be a year-long talker, let me remind everyone that we already have a thread dedicated to ROY discussion...best to leave all comments there to see how our opinions move during the season.
Oh. Look. The new guy making demands.

I liked that DLO turned the question back at the media members. That was cool. And I liked what DLO said at the end. He's a pretty smart, thoughtful dude. But I was put off by the apologetic pandering he elicited form the media guys who responded.

Did the reporter say he was embarrassed for being white? Because someone else who was white did something he disagreed with? That's one of the most racist things you can say. We are all individuals. I don't watch a NBA game and cheer because a white person dunked the ball or made a nice play, that's idiotic. It's the same thing, it's neanderthal thinking.
On the other hand it's perfectly fine to call out racist cops or simply cops who do harm to anyone who isn't about or threatening to cause harm to him or anyone else. This whole divide and conquer bit sure works well.
