Thoughts on Hamidou Dallo. Measure the same height as Justise Winslow 6'4.5 without shoes, 6'6 or 6'5.5 with shoes. Excellent wingspan 6'11.5. Great body for his age. High level of athleticism, but he is a project. His game is very raw and depends soley on his athleticism. Just like Winslow he is not a good shooter. But shows some potential to be a jump shooter. I do get a impression he is a very determined to be great and a good coachable kid. Projected to be in the buy a pick range.

Average 10 pts, 3.6 rbs, 42.8 FG%, 33.8 3%

Pat Riley seen here personally went to scout him.



Season Highlights, displays his potential.

I want nothing to do with a 6'4 guy that shoots 61% FT.

Enough with these non scoring prospects. The game today is about speed, IQ and most of all shooting.

We already got Justise as a subpar scorer and shooter, Bam doesn't look like much of a offensive weapon either - let's not try to beat teams by a score of 2-0. It won't work.

Dam homie, we talking about a second round prospect. You want a ready made player, coming out the box as gangbusters. Some projects are worth it. Bam is worth the pick at where he was drafted. And Boston dam sure didnt dame near get to the finals because of their offense.

Im harsh on winslow also, but my frustration is those who think of him as a potential superstar. He was a good pick at where he was drafted. Just some of the overhype just silly.

I dont care if you can shoot three pointers, if you just average player. The results are gonna be the same. Not gonna be an elite offense unless you find a star.

Wouldn't be mad at Hamidou, wouldn't target Hamidou either. He just doesn't have many NBA viable skills

Pretty good offensive package for a youngin', wouldn't oppose Winslow or Rich for two non-lotto picks this year(Reasonable, non-lotto)

This Simons kid intrigues me. What’s his draft range?

Not sure if it’s his build or what, but he’s giving me Eric Gordon vibes?

Bottom line is we have to start adding natural scorers, Celtics have those and every other good team have those.

Give me a natural scorer with good athleticism, Don't care about his defense or anything else. You can work on defense and other stuff, we can't keep adding these limited players. We're drafting like we're playing against the 90's knicks.

Move some contracts and draft all the Villanova kids. They understand team concepts well enough, and are talented to boot. What do we need, four picks?

****, I'm hoping we add passers. Every guard is a scoring tweener. It's annoying.

Do any of the fine gentlemen on the board know if Derrick Jones Jr., squash Winslow and Matt Williams will roll with the Heat and Bam in Summer League?

Simons is a risky pick.

Fortunately we don't have any picks, we are safe

The top of the draft is going to be interesting: Bamba getting some serious love at the moment, Doncic sliding, Young picking his workouts. Porter could be the steal of the draft if he slides far & then someone will reach for need in the 6-9 range (Orlando could be primed for that if Bamba & Young are gone & they don't like Porter's fit/injuries) and make someone available at 10 that no one thought possible.

Lmao, risky where tho? 15-22, sure, otherwise not so much. I'd still give a good thought to risking it all in the teens tho

Quality vids here, Wouldn't touch Knox in the first unless a sore need of a wing but he's still interesting.

Was thinking our opening day roster should look something like this:

Mo Bamba
Omari Spellman
Mikal Bridges
Josh Richardson
Justise Winslow

Jalen Brunson
Donte Divincenzo
Kevin Huerter
Bam Adebayo

Now, how to procure six draft picks....?

I meant risky for a mid/low 10's

You think he goes 2nd to Sactown? Bagley 3rd to Hawks? Porter to Grizzlies? Bamba to Dallas? Trae to Orlando? Sexton to Bulls?
