Was he invited to Game 1 also? I had heard he was invited to Game 5 last series.

Actually you are right. It was game 5 v Boston he was invited to by the team. Pretty cool still. I can only imagine what its like starting your college career at Lock Haven, then transferring to Shaw to being catered by a NBA team playing in the ECF.

Do you know anything about him other than the developing stuff thats coming out now? I watched some game footage on YouTube of him at Shaw last year and he looks like a very fluid and natural athlete. Great size for a PG if that's going to be his position. Hes intriguing none the less.

I don't know much about him. I like that he's a ~90% ft shooter on a *ton* of attempts (11 makes/game). His footwork looks sloppy at time in his highlight packages (fixable), and obviously he looks like he's another level from those other DII guys, but how far does that get you? Playing DII shouldn't be considered disqualifying, I just don't feel equipped to evaluate him. But you look at 29.4 ppg on 64 TS% and you can see why he'd get looks.

Bol Bol's measurements reinforced my opinion that whoever drafts him should sit him at least a year. Not really a deal breaker though. Clarke for me is hard to stomach. I guess late in the first round you could see him as a value contract like Larry Nance Jr. but there is no way I want to hand him his second contract. KPJ has an NBA ready body and I'm on edge with Culver - bother bigger and slighter than expected.

What's the deal with Ty Jerome? I see him in every mock draft picked by the Bucks. Is he any good?

Well we know who Orlando is drafting.

Baller, great competitor, would be very happy if we picked him.


In Chicago, Ponds has met with Golden State, Toronto, Portland and Memphis.

Tankathon has us taking Kabengele and that's just way too good to be true.

I'd be a bit sad that we'd miss on Keldon Johnson by a few spots. Imo one of the best prospects in the draft and severely underrated.

Poor man's Brogdon - also from UVA. Not as long or strong, slightly better PG skills but doesn't have speed to play the point in the NBA on a regular basis. I think he's a second rounder.

Dylan Windler's a better prospect - doing better than expected in the drills. Probably goes a little before the Bucks pick, but he could slip and be a solid NBA 3. Had a Great game v MD in the NCAA tournament.

I think he's going mid first - long before the Bucks pick.

I thought he was about 25lbs heavier (according to one measure I saw). 208 is less than the walking-stick-like Thon when he was drafted.


He was 234 last summer!

Yeah, I remember seeing him listed at 230 or something like that. Bizarre.

Just my first exposure to him, but pretty impressive showing from Semanic.

Okpala really has standout ball handling and footwork on drives for a guy his size. Very solid, functional dribble moves, scores in a lot of different ways. Moves like a much shorter player but uses his body well. Super intriguing. Reminds me of Kawhi a little.

Jordan Nwora has some shades of Mids to me. His size, how he paces his movement, limited but effective jump athleticism, contested shot making ability.
