No Giles today. First game is expected on the 19th. But I hear he's been putting on quite the show during warm ups the past couple of games. Talk is Tatum, Frank and Bolden should see all the minutes they can handle though.

Ball
Booker
Warren
Chriss
Bender
Ball would slice up defenses if you surround him with 4 guys that can shoot like that. Ball in an extremely fast pace offense and surrounded by young weapons that could spread the floor. Thats a perfect combination and Ball does just know how to win. He plays winning basketball and always makes his teammates better.

Ball is something special, and he's showing it each time he hits the floor. That acceleration, big step, size, off/def anticipation, crazy deep range, attitude...
Man, i'd trade our entire roster just to have the opportunity to pick twice in the top6.

I'm a big Josh Jackson fan (obviously), I really like his game. Tough, impactful defender, high basketball IQ and great feel for the game, extremely athletic, skilled attacking the basket, playmaking ability, versatile on both ends. If he were the focal point on this team like Wiggins was when he was there, I think he'd be getting even more recognition than he is now, but he has Frank Mason and Devontae Graham to compete with for touches and they're both playing very well this year. I'm excited for conference play, the Big 12 looks pretty good this year.

Do you think he could play point forward? It's too bad Booker can't guard ones, and Warren 2s, because a future lineup of Booker/Warren/Jackson/Chriss/Bender could be interesting. The ball movement and shooting would be solid. With the passing abilities of Jackson and Bender, and Booker could work well together and Booker could be the spot up shooter as well. Rebound would be a problem. Jackson to run second unit next year as Point Forward would be good too along with Bender off the bench (or Chriss) with Len or Chandler starting and the other in the second unit. Second unit of Ulis/Barbosa/Jackson/Bender or Chriss/Chandler would be solid, or perhaps even Williams instead of Chandler if he is traded.

I think he's the best scorer in this draft. His jumper is nba ready with range. Actually a good comparison would be Gilbert Arenas. Someone compared him to Brandon Knight but Monk seems like a natural fluid and smarter basketball player. He has great body control, and ball skills. Knight runs around the court like Bambi trying to learn to walk. lol

But NBA executives are torn on Monk.
Some believe he's a lock to go in the upper half of the NBA lottery. One even recently told me he'd select Monk with the No. 1 overall pick. But others are concerned that he's a 6-foot-3 2-guard, and they feel as though he'll go in the bottom portion of the lottery due to his lack of size.
