Gotta be careful about judging players based off the Tournament. I did that with Trey Burke back in the day and I thought he was gonna be the next Chris Paul.

That said, Kispert did disappoint me. I will have to question him as a shooter. I didn't see him as an iso type shooter, that would create for himself, but I definitely thought he was a good off ball shooter... but I realized he has a slow set up and he got timid at times which got him into trouble. If he can't be a good off ball shooter with a quick trigger, he might not be the guy we need afterall with our Chicago pick.

Suggs was just about the only guy on Gonzaga who looked like he actually belonged on the court athletically speaking.

Not sure I understand anti-Suggs takes after last night. He was clearly the only guy on his team who wasn’t totally overmatched (and arguably not intimidated).

It's still
1.Cade
2.Green
For me.
Then anyone but Mobley.

Kuminga reminds me of Julius Randle. Not sure that I don't pick someone projected to go 6-10, over him.

yeah, Baylor guards are 2 juniors and a senior and Suggs as a freshman went toe to toe with them.

i like the comparison to Joe Harris. very good shooter but isnt going to create for himself and needs a little help. but will shoot if you leave him alone so you have to keep someone near him. He also does fill up the score box with blocks and assists. will definitely give you effort. But like Gonzaga itself, i wonder how he feels with more athletic, bigger stronger players. so not that fulltime SF but again, that Joe Harris/shooter role.

tell you what though. When Gonzaga was down by like 15 and he slipped by for a dunk and then did his little signature stache swipe like he was showing off, Dude your team was down by 15. not the time for that

I remember when he came out of Gonzaga, people talked about the stache.

Cade's the first choice, by a bunch, IMO

But I'd be thrilled to end up drafting Suggs and Kispert with out two picks. Suggs taking a lot of heat, draft stock plummeting...to 3rd :lol:

think Kispert's draft stock took a little hit. I know its one game, but he looked overmatched physically against better athletes in Baylor, and he will face better athletes in the NBA. He probably still goes in 1st round, but i think he might fall back into non-lottery. what do i know though, im horrible about draft predictions

What about Alperen Şengün?

I guess it depends on if Orlando draft 9th or 15th, and if the latter, if Kispert is still available, I really think the Magic need him at that slot.
