And such.

(maybe bulk up and play center?)

Solid pick to give offense and rebounding. Nice job Hinke.

We have no guards haha

This guy is a big-time shotblocker.

Looks like he's gone too?

Still no more word n his rumored move?

Decent pick if he keeps developing his jumper.

Good value, could've gone late 1st.

Nbadraft.net's player comparison is Craig brackens. Just sayin

I know haha. I just find their comparisons hilarious and this made me smile. I forgot he even existed

I hope we keep this dude.

Looks like we're keeping him. We need to develop him into the poor man's Serge Ibaka. A shotblocking, 3 point shooting PF. Can it happen?

nbadraft.net is not a good draft site. Neither is draftexpress.com.

Neither know what the hell is going to happen. Neither has a long track list of being right over the long run either.

nbadraft.net gets crapped on but their mock draft ends up being just as good as draftexpress.

As far as content to evaluate a prospect though, go with draftexpress.

Honestly, the three point shot kind of ruined Ibaka. I hope they develop Holmes like the mid-range shooting, offensive rebounding era of Serge Ibaka. Not this current one.

Nah man we need a stretch 4 to pair with Noel or Okafor. Holmes needs to be that guy. Camp out behind the 3 point line to give them room to operate down low.

You can stretch it just fine from 16 feet. Camping Holmes out at the three point line makes little sense because he's never been a volume three point shooter in his life and he's an excellent offensive rebounder.

kid seems to have a high motor, can block shots, board, finish around the rim and hit a jumper. If he buys in, could be a nice developmental piece along the lines of Grant.

One of my personal favorites for the Sixers to get in the 2nd. Glad we took him. Hopefully he signs a multi year deal.

I agree with you and am exaggerating about camping him out at the 3 pt line. With that said he can make himself VERY valuable if he can nail the open 3 along with his other talents. He's clearly shown the potential his last two years, now it's probably a matter of continued practice hitting the 3, something I'm sure that will be emphasized in our program.

Maybe he could be a Draymond Green type for us. Even play some 5 if we want to go with some small ball "5-Out" lineups ala the Hawks and the Warriors in the finals.

Yeah, thats not true at all. Dx's mocks have been considerably better past several years.
