Outside of some occasional highlights, I have yet to watch tape on the twins, because there is no value to it. They should be college sophomores, yet are playing against high school competition. There is nothing they can possibly do to prove that they are good enough for the NBA in this setting.
This is a bold stance by you and I applaud standing by your analysis. I have been reading your commentary for about 10 years now and can say that while you have had a few wrong turns, about 98% of your projections are about right. In your column earlier this year, you discussed the Twins and compared them to other OTE players including Jayden Quittance, a 16 year old and currently ranked as the #25 pick in the 2025 draft. Adding together rebounds, assists, blocks and steals (thanks John Hollinger!), Quitance was better than the twins.
My biggest concern is that my Raptors are picking at 13 and should take one of Anthony Black, Cason Wallace, Kobe Bufkin, Gradey Dick or Jordan Hawkins(?). If youtake the twins out, how do you get to 12 guys and still have good choices at 13? Maybe they’re stuck taking Amen and then we pray you’re wrong? Probably not a winning strategy.
