In general - do people feel Free-Throw Rate is something that translates?

Not sure what you’re getting at. Obv not every elite athlete is a generational prospect, but with few exceptions, generational prospects tend to be elite athletes.

Yes. Players that draw a lot of fouls now like Harden, Butler, and Embiid also got the the line a lot in college. The opposite is true as well, Haliburton and Desmond Bane didn't get to the line a lot in college, and both don't shoot a ton of FTs in the NBA.

Maluach does remind me of Luol with all that length.

He moves really well for his body type.

Hes a good pick if AK is truly tanking next season as big men take awhile to develop.

Tankathon has us 8th now taking this kid and I wouldn’t be mad at it. Egor and Matas would be a show in itself. He might be the steal of the draft.

He needs another year in College. Started the year hot against really bad teams. When competition ramped up he couldn't handle it. 8 of his last 13 games he has failed to score 10 points.

Thx for this info!

Bulls aren’t going to be in a hurry during this rebuild though. Let him spend some time in the G-league. Those skills can’t be denied and he’s in our range. He’s also fearless, just like Matas.

Next year AJ Dybantsa is going to BYU and he could be the #1 pick in the draft. Smart play is to be the point forward with him.

Ive come around on Edgecombe mainly because I think he fits so nicely next to Giddey whom I think we will keep, and his scoring is up. I did a little layout of my top 6 guys and the roster I expect

This is assuming a flurry of trades....but you could also easily add Vuc and White to the mix. I am a huge fan of Ball and it sounds like we want him back, if he's not you just replace him with Ayo (or White in some sense)

1 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 OPEN
2 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Buzelis 6'10 209 19 5 Terry 6'7 195 21 2
4 Cooper Flagg-Duke Williams 6'7 215 21 5
5 OPEN Smith 6'9 215 24 3

1 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 OPEN
2 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Buzelis 6'10 209 19 5 Terry 6'7 195 21 2
4 Ace Bailey-Rutgers Williams 6'7 215 21 5
5 OPEN Smith 6'9 215 24 3

1 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 OPEN
2 Dylan Harper-Rutgers Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 Terry 6'7 195 21 2
4 Buzelis 6'10 209 19 5 Williams 6'7 215 21 5
5 OPEN Smith 6'9 215 24 3

1 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 OPEN
2 Kasparas Jakucionis-Illinois Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 Terry 6'7 195 21 2
4 Buzelis 6'10 209 19 5 Williams 6'7 215 21 5
5 OPEN Smith 6'9 215 24 3

1 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 OPEN
2 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Tre Johnson-Texas Terry 6'7 195 21 2
4 Buzelis 6'10 209 19 5 Williams 6'7 215 21 5
5 OPEN Smith 6'9 215 24 3

1 Ball 6'6 190 26 1 OPEN
2 VJ Edgecombe-Baylor Dosunmo 6'5 200 23 2
3 Giddey 6'8 216 21 1 Terry 6'7 195 21 2

I would love to get to 9 players I am excited about. That to me is where we will fall.

Agreed. He's intriguing from the little I have seen.
