Would I be around the mark with opinion on the players? Also if we were to draft Hezonja and brought over Tomic what compensation would we be looking at?
Also I wonder if Ingles would help in getting the barca players to commit seeing as he spent a few seasons there (not sure if much of their current players were there though).
Sorry for all the questions. Relatively knew to the whole NBA and how international transactions work.
Tomic's body is night and day compared to when he is drafted. He was a stick. He now holds his own at 7'2 265 (wait til Gobert gets there). His rebounding per minute is rather impressive and drastically improved. He also alters and blocks shots on the defensive end now. He's doing a rather good job of that in Euroleague of using his length on a per minute basis. A Tomic/Gobert rotation kinda just makes sense. Like Mirotic we are talking MLE money with no buyout at all this summer.
Satoransky has better tools on both sides of the ball than Trey obviously. You can call him a combo in the good sense of the word, because he can guard both slots, but has the passing and handling to run the show (which he prefers to do). He finishes his 2s at a 65 percent rate, so he is looking to get to the rim.
With Teo you want him on guards not long players. For a PG Milos has good size and actually moves pretty well laterally. His problem is what you hear about with a lot of guys... defending the pick. He can hold his own, but you definitely would want a lot of communication out on the floor. If I was a big I'd be screaming at him to protect him and keep him in the play personally. But that's true with any guard.
I like Abrines as a future NBA role player, and I like Thomas too for a rotation role off the bench.
