Don't go down this hole Chalms. I'm trying to save you. Herro is going to be a good one.

Hope he does well, but it was an awful pick for what we need. We need upside, and he may have the least of it in the first round.

Looking forward to being a herro hater until he helps us unload hassan tbh

Pre-Draft Analysis
Strengths
- Impressive physical profile. Terrific frame that will fill out nicely in time. Has significant upside to tap into both physically and skill-wise.

- Brings the size and length of a power forward, but was utilized as a big playmaker tasked with significant shot-creation responsibility at Stanford, operating out of isolation or pick-and-roll. Shows good footwork while attacking closeouts with long strides, on straight-line drives and while changing speeds in the open court. Improved perimeter shooter who made 37% of his 3s as a sophomore.

- Has multipositional defensive versatility with his size, length and ability to cover ground fluidly at his size. Moves like a wing with rangy strides.

Improvement areas
- Still fairly raw in terms of his feel and overall polish. Doesn't demonstrate the type of court vision or passing ability you hope to see from a modern wing player. Shot selection and decision-making leave something to be desired.

- Made strides as a perimeter shooter but was streaky from beyond the arc overall. Made just 67% of his free throws in college. Inconsistent mechanics with a slow, low release. Not very dynamic in terms of shooting off movement or pulling up off the bounce. Mostly a spot-up, catch-and-shoot player at this stage.

- Didn't always have the defensive impact you might expect, particularly off the ball. Lacks a degree of physicality and toughness at times.

Full scouting report Insider

Post-Draft Analysis
The Heat traded into No. 32 to select KZ Okpala here. KZ Okpala's somewhat surprising slide to the second round ended here with Miami, who will try to mold his intriguing size, length and ball-handling ability into a functional rotation player by developing his perimeter shooting, frame and basketball IQ. Okpala is a late bloomer who is on a different trajectory than most prospects in this draft and could benefit from added seasoning in the G League. -- Jonathan Givony

I don't think he's a 4. Thought he played 3 and even a little 2 at Stanford

Mostly a bunch of partial guarantees on the back end. Easily able to be moved on from. Let them compete for spots

I almost got excited for a sec, I was about to be like oh **** trade incoming lol, no such hope, just shambles of shambles

If he’s available. Perfect guy to redshirt and get his meds in check.

I have a feeling he'll be there at 44 and then we'll pick someone else lol.

we still dont know if we have the pick

Post #90 » by **DayofMourning** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 3:33 am

If we draft Bol, I'm happy. Would have taken him and his porcelain foot at 13 and been happy.

Even Omar Kelly would have found out the compensation by now.

Ira sucks. Oops, sorry Lane.

Happens a lot of second rounds.

Stashing them overseas is attractive when the roster is full.

Would KZ start at PF?.
