The March to June 23: The Draft Prospect Thread

[minimus]

I wonder if DEN success with DHO/PnR based offense will impact teams decisions during this draft:

- shooters how can play off the ball will be selected higher that scorers with on ball skills
- bigs who can execute in DHO offense with the ball in their hands will be selected higher
- teams will look for new Porter Jr, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray etc

Can't stop thinking about how intriguing Naz and Taylor Hendricks combo might be. A center who can beat other bigs off the dribble but can't defend, and PF who can defend and hit open threes.

This is the right answer. Now think about the McDaniels and Hendricks combo.

Am I crazy to think to Jett Howard is better shooter as Brandon Miller? Although he is an awfull defender...

Does Scoot lack burst? It is another crucial factor if he can't beat opponents of the dribble he will be pretty much another Kris Dunn. Although Dunn has been really through some weird injuries.

No, Scoot Henderson is an insanely bursty athlete.

Hood-Schifino.... I am starting to like more and more. Anyone familiar with his game more than highlight vids? How does he pair with Ant long-term? Is Black a better match?

I watched some highlights of these guys and I wonder if MIN FO wants to assemble same type of end bench roster as MIA this year: low profile shooters athletic enough to defend. I was really impressed by MIA scouting and physical training program, coaching staff and player development.

Drew Timme would be fun as the 53rd pick

[Klomp]

Keep in mind that teams are not only holding workouts for their draft boards, but also as they look at priority free agents and guys who will fill out their summer league rosters.

Mike Miles Jr would be interesting at either 53 or as an UDFA. Built like a fullback, absurd FTArate, excellent finisher, good defender with some potentially hidden playmaking skills.

I have recently thinking about this: what if we draft a defensive minded comboforward, maybe slightly undersized and complete transformation of our defense? Let me explain:

1) I am very impressed by Anderson performance in regular season, but his inability to shoot hurted us in playoffs. Yes, we have Towns as starting PF, but I wonder whether he will be able to be as productive at PF as he was at С

2) DEN and MIA used Gordon/Green and Butler/Martin at PF, undersized but mobile and aggressive forwards, used different defensive schemes to maximize advantage in mobility

What if we draft a defensive minded comboforward who can play same role, kind of invite to attack him? Yes, I know we all have bad taste in mouth after Rosas dogmatic use of Okogie, Graham, KBD and other as PF. But. Part of the problem was always Towns and Wiggins. With Gobert and MCD it could be different. And I have perfect candidate for such role: Sidy Cissoko

Watch on YouTube

Let say we have four (!!!) aggressive, physical guys on perimter Cissoko-MCD-Edwards-NAW. I know that it will require a lot of energy, but if you want an example - game vs NOP, when Gobert punched Anderson. It was crazy and wild, because our players played through with that energy.

Anderson couldn't shoot in the playoffs because he needed to have surgery on one of his eyes.

Irony? I thought it was after Edwards hit him

That’s some high level shooting upside here. I wonder how much more Gobert impact will be felt if we get an elite shooter.

Modern day Ray Allen.

Imagine...
we could have Ant Man and Hawkeye on our team. Now if only KAT could be an Iron Man and stay healthy. We could avenge the Joe Smith deal, the refs in 2004, Sam Cassel's hip, Jimmy General Soreness, Rosas' extra curricular activities, not picking Curry, Kobe blowing out Rubio's knee, the list goes on.

Finally a post by you about KAT that I can +1. KAT started his career as Iron Man and has been a China doll for years now.

[minimus]

It is too late but Cason Wallace would be an ideal PG candidate for us. IMO he might be even more impressive thant Scoot...

Oh, we’re doing Avengers?

Ant-man - Edwards literal nickname
Iron Man - KAT’s suit is broken lately, but he’s a NY billionaire who talks too much, so ..
Hawkeye - Luka Garza. Played at Iowa and shoots three pointers.
Captain America? Mike Conley. He’s old and has never gotten a single technical foul? Language!
Hulk - Pek Smash!
Black Panther - maybe Gorgui? Our African King?
Black Widow - Lindsey Whalen? Didn’t have super powers, but smart, tough and deadly.
Thor? We traded away near-Norse Markannen. But maybe the ego is like Laettner
Nick Fury? Garnett was super cool, smart, didn’t give up, and uses MFer just as much?

Thanos - Danny Ainge
