Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 20/11/2024For up-transfers, Jacob Crews at Missouri. Feels like a dude you could’ve dropped onto 100s of other teams and would’ve had a big role. Instead, he’s stuck on the bench. Even if he stayed put, would’ve been a PIT lock. Now, very doubtful. 110
Reposted by Maxwell BaumbachLogan @laltennba.bsky.social · 19/11/2024There’s nothing like a good early-mid 2nd round flyer on a defensive wing who just needs to figure out how to shoot. Striking gold on them is such a game changer. 131
Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I still have some EJ Liddell stock, he’s a well-rounded forward on a two-way contract who will be spending time down there. Otherwise, there’s no one I’m particularly bullish on down there currently. 010
Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Depends on the skill and the value of it relative to position. Like Josh Giddey has some really cool playmaking talent, but his weaknesses positionally hinder his value in a major way. But generally, you’ve got to be pretty special at something as a prospect if you’re going to stick. 120
Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024I love me a productive wing with great physical tools and feel that just needs to shoot a little better in the second round. IE: Herb Jones, Toumani Camara. 250

Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Asa Newell springs to mind immediately, even if his three ball hasn’t fallen consistently in college yet. Liam NcNeeley might not have quite the upside, but he’s definitely going to provide spacing. 130

We are using imperfect tools, acknowledging that uncertainty is the biggest step towards quality evaluation imho 171
Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Underrated: Staying loose. I’ve missed on/over ranked players because I clung too much to my initial impression of them as opposed to how the produced and progressed. Avoiding anchoring bias, continuing to take in more data points, and adjusting from there has generally led to better results for me. 020
Maxwell Baumbach @baumboards.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Overrated, in my opinion: Having a firm, rigid process with regard to ranking players. There are outliers every year, and I think to not make a few strategic gambles for better potential value, even at greater risk, is a necessity. 020
