That's a 7'1 center displaying those types of skills.

His jumper looks like money everytime he releases it.

Had the Wolves not won the lottery and were picking 3 or 4 Flip would have most likely taken him assuming Towns and Okafor were gone

I bet Minnesota and LAL both took notice even. And Hinkie is probably already working the phones to trade Nerlens for a later lotto pick this year and a first next year.

he is a PF. great prospect though, has all the tools to be a star.

Jumpshot, range, handle, athleticism..... I'd be shocked if he didn't go Top 3; each team has reasons to take him except for maybe Philly, and I doubt they'd hold back on him.

I'm very impressed. But, I clicked on Muiday's next and he doesn't shoot like this at all in games, so I'm thinking some of it is the fact that it's a spliced video of an empty floor workout...

I think Philly is the biggest threat to take him if he does indeed go in top 3.

I think he will be an average player. Too weak and poor at rebounding for his position. He can hit those shots in that setting, but lets see him show the ability to create space to get those shots off. He could be a much weaker but taller version of Ibaka.

As I have said I few times as a Euro-League fan who has been keeping an eye on him, he has been on my "Prospect Board" as number one for a few months now. I honestly do not believe I would have the courage as a GM to pick him first overall, but he is definitely the real deal in my opinion.

Pau Gasol's rebounding numbers were quite comparable at the same age (albeit slightly lower). I feel they are different types of players, but his ability to offensive rebound at a high level leads me to believe he will be a very capable defensive rebounder. He most definitely must become stronger and improve his finishing ability, but I definitely have faith in the guy,

He can hit the open shot, but he doesn't have a very high vertical on his jump shot and he doesn't look very quick or explosive on his dunks. I wonder if he can do all that with people defending him at the NBA level.

Aintnohater · Post #17 » by **Aintnohater** » Sat Jun 13, 2015 2:08 am

Well hes definitely nothing like Andrea Bargaini. This kid is actaully ATHLETIIICCC..but he does look like a stick and will get bullied in the NBA. Jumper looks moooooooooooooonney and those dunks look sexy
