1) I wish Jackson hadn't gotten hurt / wasn't hurt. Maryland could have been a problem come March Madness.

2) Huerter is a good off ball defender and on ball (even in the zone they go to). Very nice creator off ball, good first step getting by defenders when they crowd him, moves well off the ball, good rebounder and goes to crash the glass, and I think might be longer than what he's listed at.

3) Maryland needs to do a better job at getting Huerter the ball.

4) I want him on this team. Please let us get another first and give him a guarantee.

I don't even know whose shooting anymore, Knox or Brown Jr.

Kevin Huerter ------------>> via trading Lee/O'Quinn for a 20's first rounder
Justin Jackson ----------->> via trading Hernangomez and rights to our 2nd rounder

LOL, I literally just posted about all these dudes.

Man Jackson being hurt is a blessing. Between in injury effn' up his efficiency and missing the season he may fall to us at a 2nd round pick.

Huerter not listed on any mock baffles me.

I get it...he's quick and can hit an outside shot...but what the actual **** is he doing running the offense? Check that, trying to run the offense.

HEZI asked me about him a few weeks back also. I said he reminds me of Klay Thompson but better playmaking. BIG fan.

I think my semi*-realistic dream scenario is...

Mikal Bridges ---> our pick
Huerter ---> trading Lee / KOQ (or whoever) for another first)
Justin Jackson ---> early 2nd
Bonga ---> early 2nd

A small but LONG ball lineup of Frank, Mikal, Timmy, Jackson, and KP would be deadly on defense and I think the offense would come with time.

I think Huerter not being on a mock is because a) it's still early-ish in the season b) people are stupid c) he's not a freak athlete so no highlights d) people are stupid e) people are stupid. Aside from shooting, he's not elite at any one thing but he's a good defender who needs to get more credit than he does here both on and off ball, he's a good off ball creator who can run an offense when the PG chucks, is an aggressive rebounder, smart player on both ends, and he's not super long BUT he does have a + wingspan (and just looking at him, I think it's longer than what was last measured).

Really am a big fan of his. We need to improve our shooting, defense, and rebounding and he provides all 3 within the team mentality from the wing. AND his playmaking will work so well with Frank.

Sometimes I think even those points give people too much credit. :( In between all of the GIFs and jokes, this thread is still the best place for real talk about basketball / prospects. Pretty much everywhere else is toxic.

My only issue with your dream scenario is we come out with way too many wings and short on bigs.

Bridges, Huerter, Jackson, Bonga are all wings really. Yes Bonga is an oversized PG at heart. Yes Justin Jackson can masquerade as a PF in today's NBA. But our roster still would have those 4 rooks plus Timmy, Dotson, McDermott (likely resigned), Lance, etc.

That's why I feel like if we get Huerter, Justin, Bonga later in the draft, that lottery pick gotta go to a legitimate big like Bamba or Jackson if we end up like #7. Which I have a hunch we will with our 2nd half swoon.

This is the worst idea ever... KP is too weak. Putting him next to the genetic scrub version of KP doesn't make sense. We have 1 too many PFs shooting 44% from the field as it is.


Now you **** on JJJ? Negro Please. Jackson is that dude. I would love to have him...But I do agree KP might be a bird at center. Dude just seems soft as **** on the low.

KP is definitely not soft on the low. He's obviously soft as hell. Wasn't as a rookie but he is too concerned with being Melo 2.0 right now.

And Jaren Jackson was a super scrub and now his son is coming out for the draft but got a few too many question marks. Not **** with it. But again I been told you this draft is trash to me outside of a few guys.
