My first thoughts of his game were Steve Smith.

I sent them a PM a few months back, and never got a reply. Another one bites the dust. Probably hanging out with Rex at a bar somewhere in Brisbane.

His defense the first time I watched him definitely caught my eye. He's an absolute pest with very nice lateral ability, and a keen sense at how to cut off angles and make a guy go where he doesn't want to.

His offensive game was fairly low frills, but effective.

Watched a few more vids, becoming a little more keen to his game. The boy needs some pork tho, to match that wingspan

I haven't watched him in about six months or so. I get so caught up with the talent stateside that he's become an afterthought. I doubt he goes top ten like some sites have mentioned. There's just too much competition this year.

Yea' I imagine all the hubub about players in the states could be a bigger factor than processed about him falling this year. That and the fact that he may be playing out of position this year, which could turn some teams away (Teams fans are always about "what have you done lately tho") http://fansided.com/2016/11/08/frank-ntilikina-2017-nba-draft-point-guard/

If we win a few too many games and end up on the wrong side of where we want to be and the top 5 and Monk are off the board then I'd like to take a chance on him. From all I've seen about him, think I like him more than Ball and Fox. Plus would like to do anything possible to keep him away from Milwaukee lmao

Only reel I haven't fell asleep thru, looks smoother with music lol. He's got a basic game, not the flare and swagger of the other 4 guards. I like it tho

Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

Suspended indefinitely. That's going to be expensive, especially considering its effect on his draft position. He's a marginal first rounder to begin with.

Congratulations to QUIZ and DayofMourning. I can see that you are already moderators. Greetings to Bishop45. Thank you DayofMourning. I have just finished reading your message. Thank you everybody. It feels good to be appreciated. I assure you that I am still part of the team. Merry Christmas! And before I forget, congratulations to IggieCC. However, I have a doubt: I no longer find comments by Heatwillrise. The reason, is it because IggieCC is now a moderator?

Yes it is JLOP.

We had to perm-ban Heatwillrise A.K.A. Hard Willie Rubber for obvious reasons. We suspect that he is still posting/lurking under a different username though. Be careful and welcome back. :usa:

JLop!!!

You found your way back!

That's great man. Glad to have you back in the fold. Congrats on being the sole clear thinker on Kristaps. I've been waiting to pat you on the back for that eval.

Now do us a favor and give us some more of your time and analysis in this years draft thread.

Return to Miami Heat
