2018 NBA Draft Thread

[StickeeFingaz]

I’m definitely interested in DiVincenzo in our range. I like his athleticism and he’s more than a shooter, IMO.

My Kevin Huerter hype levels are reaching unprecedented heights.

Most of the shooters in the draft are toe on the line guys. Huerter has that range.

Watch on YouTube

He's showing out at the Combine.

6' 6.25" height
8' 5.5" standing reach
6' 7.5" wing
38" max vert

And he's putting up weight.

If you're looking for a Korver type for Bud, I think he's your guy

Where's Okogie supposed to go? seems like he has all the tools to be a competent player

I think they trade the pick, but if they don't, DiVincenzo is my guy, if not him Spellman, just love the Villanova guys.

Okogie put up crazy numbers also, great measurements as well. Settled too much.

Josh Okogie with a 42-inch max vert at the combine. I have a feeling he's going to make some fans during this pre-draft process.

Haven't really got into the draft yet. But after a quick look I like the look of this guy. Love the board numbers and shooting stroke. How is he on defense and could he be a Avery Bradley type of 2 guard?

Malik Newman.

Turn Henson, Bledsoe, Delly into a PG with gravity from three point, J. Porter and buy a second round pick to land Konate to be your energy big.

Install modern schemes and run an offense that makes sense based on people’s skill set and is modern.

Install an “average” defense that our guys can understand.

Teach them to rebound as a team.

Talk to them about analytics.

I'm a big believer in the shuttle. Change of direction is enormously important compared to 3/4 sprint, etc. And he had the best shuttle time at the entire combine.

He was probably the biggest winner today at the combine. Still has strength issues but a GREAT shooter with sneaky quick change of pace is a highly useful player.

As long as he can do enough on D to stay on the floor - I like.
But that D thing, is not gonna be easy. Korver is a actually a very clever defender.

We interviewed Zhaire Smith according to Gery

I think he's likely off the board before we pick, maybe even top 10, but I'm glad to see this anyways.

\

After he measured 6'2.75" barefoot I believe he takes a drop to the 20s. He was listed as a 6'5 SG/SF and in reality he's just under 6'4 in shoes. That will be tough in the NBA unless you have a very good jump shot and/or can create off the dribble. I just lost my interest in him at 17.

With Smiths skill set I’m not sure why his height would even be factored in. Marcus Smart and Draymond Green have no trouble defending guys way bigger than themselves. At worst Zaire’s standing reach is 3/4” below average for a shooting guard. With his insane vertical I’m pretty sure he’ll be able to get his shot off but he’s not a shooter so not to worried about it anyway.

I don't think this is a problem. Smith's profile to me is more like an elite roleplayer. He's going to do a lot of things to help you win, but you're going to need somebody else to handle the ball. His catch and shoot game is slow but promising, and if you turn your head on him, he's going to cut hard to the rim and catch a lob. Easy yes from me. Electrifying player.

[emunney]

If it turns out he's got some hidden ballhandling ability, look out.

[emunney]

There are a lot of things about Smith -- the 'did you see that?' moments, the unheralded-ness, the demure college role, the tweener questions, the motor, the basic skill set -- that remind me a ton of the way Russell Westbrook crept onto the scene a decade ago before surprisingly going 4th overall and being a quality player from day 1.

[freewhitemoon]

Doubt Smith drops that much just because he measured shorter by an inch. I'd be surprised if he was there at our pick

[AussieBuck]

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk seems like a guy who could carve a role in the league. Good shooter and feel for the game.

Come on dude, having the cat walk on your keyand and pretending it's an enticingly euro is Chuck's bit.

Just say no to Zhaire ...
He is Thanasis or similar to Hamidou Diallo.
I think Diallo is better.

Trade down (sixers) and draft Devonte Graham and Hamidou Diallo

Edit: Ask for Paseknics too.. stashed in EU

He played for Kansas, I'm not stepping onto his territory.
