I think kobewade1 is saying we are too focus on where they score instead of focusing how well they score.Spacely wrote:kobewade11 wrote:we need to get over this "shooter" thing. a JJ Redick kind of player, which is all Herro is. is not elevating the ceiling of this team.

Devin Booker was known as just a shooter in college and proved to be an elite scorer so do we really know who will turn into what?

apples and oranges. Booker was a shooter in college because of this guy named KAT who was on the team.

Plus, Booker didn't measure with a 6'3 wingspan. Herro did

Give me Clarke at 13, or if not Clarke, a wing prospect. Clarke’s production is too good to ignore. His numbers are ridiculous - and if he’s there, he should be the pick. I’ll back him in to develop a Draymond level jump shot.
If Langford or Little are available, I’m going them before a true big tbh. Langford looks pretty smooth, feel his game will transition pretty well to the pros.

As far as being a defensive anchor, he's got every element that you could ask for. And offensively, as a big, he has the type of versatility that you want from a big in 2019
Semi-long read, but this dives into his versatility on offense and the preconceived notions surrounding his offense https://www.thestepien.com/2019/01/18/draft-notes-easy-case-brandon-clarke/
He's so fascinating. he challenges everything we thought we knew about bigs, similar to Dre. But I think he might be taken ahead of us.

Yea, I don't buy the Rui to Minny hype, I think Clarke is locked in there at 11

The injury couldn’t have come at a worse time for Jordan Nwora, the Louisville forward who put his name in the NBA Draft pool but is keeping open the option of returning to school for his junior year.
Right when Nwora, the 6-foot-7 sharpshooter who was voted the ACC’s most improved player this season, hoped to make his breakthrough in the NBA Draft process, he was sidelined by aggravating an already-tweaked calf muscle. The setback cost him the chance to participate in five-on-five scrimmages, strength and agility drills and shooting sessions at the NBA combine late last week in Chicago. It was a significant blow, not only because of the attention players receive at the combine, but also because Nwora hadn’t worked out for teams. He did, however, tell reporters he expects to be OK again in time to privately work out for teams before the May 29 deadline for players to withdraw their names from the draft.
