Hey, as long as we don't grab any more full-sized centers, as the league gets bigger.

One is more than enough, that's for sure.

:noway:

Crazy they have almost the same wingspan and max vert. I thought toohey was smaller without shoes but I didn't look too hard.

I’m seeing numbers slightly different, not that it matters much

Richard 6’3.25 with 6’9.75

Toohey 6’7.75 with 6’10.75

I might be more excited about the non-drafted guys!

Yup, has to be Clayton. Only other guys would maybe be Coward or Sorber. But Clayton is the obvious plug and play backup point guard that would let us use free agency on other needs. Now we will almost certainly try and snag a guy like Monte Morris, Tre or Ty Jones, Brogdon, Payne, etc.

I got it from here (and did some rounding):

Looking at some highlight clips of Toohey, he looks like blue light special Luka with some hustle.

I can only hope.

Is anyone of Brk picks interesting enough to take back in a Kuminga S&T?

When looking at highlights, it's important to focus on the competition. I'm seeing something close to Division II College. I would have liked to see him against at least Division I or G League but hopefully he can eventually shine against NBA caliber opponents.

I was hoping they would grab Raynaud at 41. He has been making large improvements his last 2 years and is filling out his seven foot frame with a long reach, good BB instincts, and a nice shooting touch. It would have been a good chance to get bigger.

These guys are going to spend a lot of time in the G-League right?

Toohey has a chance to be better than gui by the end of the season or next. But really don’t see either getting playing time next year unless there’s a trade.

Toohey doesn’t look like he has any skills besides spot up shooting

Same here. I would also have like to see what Amari Williams could do.

I don't get it.

He creates a lot of defensive events. Over 2 steals and 1 block per 36. It’s his defensive activity that is intriguing. His offensive game is pretty weak outside of transition buckets.

Maybe they have their sites set on a veteran big. Portis? Allen? A long shot but if you're gonna wish, wish big.

Interesting that both Toohey and Richard are supposed shooters, Toohey before the NBL in high school was supposed to be a shooter, that haven't been able to break through the average shooter percentages. Maybe there's some tweaks that they can do to unlock that.

If Toohey was a shooter they'd call him Threehey.

I think these are Kerr picks. Shooting form looks good, but not there yet for show. But they are "dogs". So someone Kerr willing to play instead of JK and Moody.

Yea they are both defensively capable players. I thought they may try to go with more offense but looks like they're going with defense if you also take into account who they've been linked to so far as looking into in FA (Horford, NAW, Herb).
