You should seriously take a step back here. You have built up
zero credibility when it comes to evaluating prospects on this forum. Users that have been active over years have had misses (as does everyone including every NBA front office) but also hits. We have the benefit of understanding what each poster values, what they are good at, and where they have potential blind spots, and we can factor that in when reading everyone's posts.
You, on the other hand, have no track record whatsoever. You simply waltz into every single thread talking about how nobody here has a clue and present yourself as the person who knows best. But nobody will buy into that kind of megalomania until and unless you have proven to be good at evaluating prospects. And you haven't yet. At all.
The only post talking about prospects before 2023 that I have found in your posting history is this one:

Well, that sure seemed overly optimistic.
Your current tone is not only off-putting but also quite ridiculous considering that you have nothing to show for in terms of evaluating prospects. At least not on here. So how about you try to argue in good faith, provide arguments with substance, drop this childish attitude, and establish your credentials through constructive work. As it stands now, this board suffers from your posts. That's a pity because I actually think that you are capable of providing value and substance as you are clearly plugged in and passionate about the draft. You're just not doing it right now.
It's also not only you – this board in general suffers a lot from pettiness and combativeness. But it's become worse and you as a new user have decided to be part of the problem, and not the solution. I genuinely hope you'll re-consider your approach. We'd all benefit from that.
That you clearly judge draft classes by H.S. freshmen 5 star ratings. You literally said this class sucks (as will next year) because look at how few 5 star guys there are compared to these supposedly superiors draft classes that had more! That's in your post!!
