2019 Draft Thread

[Ruzious]

KZ Okpala has a little Paul George in him.

He's a guy who could slip. I get a Kelly Oubre type vibe from him - he's not as athletic as Oubre but probably a little smarter.

He has to be the Magic pick. L E N G T H.

His length is just like Oubre's, but he didn't seem to take full advantage of it on defense - his steals and blocks were pedestrian. My impression is he's gotta work on his physical toughness and not let opponents push him around.

Who's the raw kid with interesting measurables and an incredible work ethic in this class that somehow falls to #30?

Kabengele I hope.

Okay that's who I want.

KZ Okpala has a little Paul George in him. Fresno State Paul George that is. If you're looking for upside and crossing your fingers that 30 turns into a starter/fringe star, he's one of the best bets.

Over the last two weeks we have seen thousands upon thousands of work out “videos” where every single prospect is killing it. Of course they are, they are being defended by air. KZ Okpala was the exception, and the tweet under the video was something along the lines of “we just saw KZ Okpala miss 30 straight three-pointers” that scared the crap out of me. LOL

[BuckHole]

Trade it

[Rockmaninoff]

So the Bucks had Miye Oni in twice? I'd be fine with that selection.

Grades highly in shooting, passing, and defense from what I look at. Would be a good fit, albeit currently redundant on the roster.

Watch his film and squint, and he looks like a shorter Kawhi.

If we end up with one of these except Clarke, Hachimura or Langford I'm pretty happy.

While there’s very little risk taking KZ at 30, PG was an excellent shooter at Fresno. I’ve seen people trying to comp Culver to PG too and I just don’t see it

While George was the more efficient of the two, he certainly struggled from the field during his sophomore campaign shooting 42% from the field and 35% from the three point line. His saving grace was the DRASTIC improvement he made at the line in year two going from 69.7% from the stripe his freshman year to 90.9% his sophomore campaign in the exact same number of attempts.

George was an uneven shooter, not the "excellent" shooter you're touting him as. If he was excellent he wouldn't have slipped to 10.

Where is Carsen Edwards expected to go? At one point I saw him linked to us, but no longer see him on any lists. Am I crazy reaching wanting to take a chance on him or is he projected to go well before us now?

Still expected to go somewhere around our pick. DX has him at #35 right now.

[DanoMac]

I want David Noel.

Only if giannis gives him his number back

Like him a lot.

Any interesting UDFA prospects out there ?

I want Jordan Poole and he might go undrafted. Probably gets drafted though. Don't even mind him at #30.

all I saw was athleticism in that clip.

[DrWood]

What's the chance we'll be drafting a guy to include in a trade?
