2019 NBA Draft

[minimus]

While I have preached tolerance of the Wolves pick, Hachimura would make me puke. Stupid pick.

Why?

I like what I’ve seen in the little that I have seen. It seems like he has a lot of room to grow from what I’ve read. I like him, Doumbouya, and Little among others as high upside picks.

If Rui can stay aggressive and continue to develop his shooting skills and defensive awareness I understand why MIN consider him at #11. He has little Kawhi in him.

Why are you guys so down on Bol? He could easily turn out to be a steal @ 11

It is said that Bol doesn´t really like basketball, and he seems to be injury-prone. I would not take the risk with such a player.

The fear is that he gets played of the court frequently like Bobo.

Havent seen any of his games myself, just clips. One issue you can see from clips is he has problems when he needs to change direction. He can look somewhat fluid on the move. But there is a clip where he's going right, guy crosses over to the left and Bol falls over trying to change direction. Looked like a giraffe on roller skates.

Just a weird combination of major strengths and major weaknesses.

So you write him off because he got crossed one time? He could turn out to be a star next to Towns, similar to how Porzingis always started at the 4
