Great Kentucky Tenn game today.

- Reed is such a baller. Top 7 pick.
- Reeves will be drafted. He’s like Duncan Robinson with more game
- Knect can hoop. Lots of Klay in his game. He’s top 7 too.

This is the guy I want with the Bulls pick. He will be a beast in the league. Crazy motor, length, and intensity. Winning player with big upside and a high floor. He has a long way to go but he can play end of rotation impact mins day one.

Salaun looks huge. I think he’s 6’10. Prob 6’11 and prob not done growing.

Anybody know anything about this guy - Keisei Tominaga?

Terrance Shannon polishing his first round resume today. Obviously the criminal allegations hang over his head but no way to predict that or its impact, so will stick with just the hoops.

If his 3 translates to the next level, his game and motor are custom made for the NBA. He’s been projected as second half of the first round which sounds about right considering his age, but I would not be at all surprised to see him considered a huge steal after he’s in the league 4-5 years.

He’s a 5th year senior. Has played a lot.

His 3 ball will need lots of work. Shoots from his chest. Will be tough to get that 3 up against NBA length and speed.

He’s very crafty. He’s a lefty. Creates space. Gets to the FT line. Big body that can create and absorb contact. He reminds me a bit of DDR.

Shannon and Reeves from Kentucky are similar in stock. Both great college players that I think will co tribute right away in the league.

I think Shannon can play SF. If he has a strong work ethic like Ayo then he’s def draftable. Patton could have that shot dialed in a couple summers.

Bulls need shooting and length in the post.

Yeah, I’m not talking about Shannon as a Bull. Just as a prospect in general. If his 3 ball translates he’s going to be a heck of an NBA scorer.

I’m a Hoosier alum. Watched lots of Ware. Would never draft him. No motor. Soft. Doesn’t fight.

Flip scream 3rd 4th big. Olynyk type. Need to better than that.

Think I like Salaun better than anyone else. Kid is crazy long. Strong. Intense competitor with a crazy motor. Think Ausar like motor. He can shoot it and has a Jaren Jackson type ceiling. Think he adds weight and becomes a giant PF and C like JJJ.

This is the draft to get a big and shooting.

Dalen Terry is done. Philips already so much better than him.

I’d love two players from this draft after a trade back. Get a big with length and get a shooter.

Terry and Phillips don't play the same position.

During the game yesterday they showed a little bullet point bio of him with hometown, high school, etc. he average 39.8 ppg in high school.

Not to be too stereotypical here, but can you imagine being an all-Big Ten caliber scoring guard playing high school hoops in Japan? He must have felt like a god.

Really starting to like Tyler Smith and am simaltaneously confused why he's projected to go so low

6'11" - shooting 36% on four 3's a game i nthe G-league. 61% TS%. 2 STOCKS per game

Stretch big - lefty.

Envision him more as a big 4 that can play alongside a guy like Vuc and play some minutes as a small ball 5.

Size - length- shooting
