Donte's stock has taken such a hit around here. Double buy imo.

I think you're overrating Porzingis (which most people do) more than underrated Poku.

As a prospect? Nah, there's a reason Zinger vaulted up draft boards and went #4 overall (and should have went 2nd) in a pretty loaded class. Dude was/is a freak athlete to go along with unlimited shooting range. Would love it if we could somehow come away with him in this draft, but if Poku was anywhere near the level of blue-chip prospect that Porzingis was, he'd be going #1 overall and we wouldn't even be having these conversations.

You confirmed what I said. This is the first season Porz has even been an above-average player. And he certainly doesn't have the athleticism to play anything but center. The problem with Poku is his obvious lack of strength.

You can check for yourself, this year the Draft Class is very weak on talent.
There is enough "young talent" that are FA, or in G-League... if this pick is needed to make a trade you do it. I mean Hartenstein is a FA and he is 20. Just be smart on picking up talent through G-League and FAs

Pesky on the ball, super long arms, skinny but tough, absolutely deadly shooter. Not explosive and can't finish, but draws a ton of fouls and shot 92% (!) from the line. Not a point guard but can defend points.
Crossmatch with a ballhandler who can defend wings (easier said than done, I know) and let him get shots up and bother the ball.
While getting a feel for Quickley, what was your assessment of Maxey? Or did the focus turn primarily to Q?emunney wrote:Watching some more Kentucky to get a better feel for whether Maxey is worth a trade up, and you can put me down for being OK with Quickley at our pick.
