Re: 2019 Draft Class
Is Jeremiah Martin draftable? He's a talented kid who seems to be really impactful on both ends of the floor. He's probably an undersized two though.

Re: 2019 Draft Class
I, for once, thank god this years wing class is not your typical "got the freakish athleticism -> potential" class a la Wiggins, Jackson, Brown, S.Johnson, ..
Robert Horry is better than MJ, because everybody knows that 7>6.

Not really, he’s pretty easy to project. Good 3 and D player.

Where's De'Andre Hunter?
I need to do more research into him too.
I think Hunter will end up being 13-20 on my big board. To me he looks more impressive than Tony Snell and less impressive than Otto Porter Jr. Who should have been drafted 7(ish) and 20(ish) in their respective drafts.
Lol less impressive than Porter? That’s funny. Hunter is a top 5 pick.

He was a projected lottery pick before the poor season he has had...so going mid first wouldn't be impossible despite not earning that level of attn at Kansas. He is a project and should return for another year, but declaring after a solid tournament would change that.

Seems like whoever projected him so high doesn’t have good eyes. He’s slow, not athletic, really inconsistent and commits a lot of fouls.

Grimes is an uber talent if/when he finds that discipline and consistency

Yeah I might be inclined to take back that mid first estimation as he's been more disappointing than Reddish this season , but the way Kansas has been a mess with injuries and just failed miserably against Iowa state he probably won't get a chance to improve his stock much in the big dance as they will probably be an early out, but there is no question he has some decent upside & was doing better of late until today. He is a better athlete than you are giving him credit for. The raw off ball skillset that hasn't translated very well should force him back to College for another year. Maybe he should work on his handles and move back to the 1.

I’ve seen a good amount of Kansas this year and I’ve never thought he was interesting as a prospect at all. Personally there are about 25 guys I would take before him. He might be a better athlete than I’m giving him credit for, but in all the times I’ve seen him I don’t see an NBA athlete.

Yeah SLOWMO Anderson doesn't either,but he's effective. not being fast isn't the most debilitating thing if he can get it together.doordoor123 wrote:Stillwater wrote:doordoor123 wrote:

There are 35 players I would take ahead of him if I didn't want a high upside project etc.

Ya I don't see how you can take Cam as a 1st rounder. He is truly playing awful basketball.

it's no surprise I'm dissapointed in him,as I was really hoping he was legit given the Cavs lottery status,if they pick him in the high lottery I hope they plan on tanking again next year

Ya I can't even begin to try to imagine Cam trying to dribble against NBA players. If I was a team that drafted Cam, I wouldn't even plan on him seeing the NBA court for at least a year. Have him work on his game and confidence in the G League for a year.
Cam is the kind of guy that I can see getting so down on himself after a really rough year, and never really recovering from it.

Re: 2019 Draft Class
If only Zion didn't lack skill.......
What a freaking pass. I wonder if people realize there is more than one skill than shooting. How about grabbing a board, pushing it then making one hell of a 3/4 court bounce pass on a dime. Does that not require skill?

Kyle Anderson is also one of the best passers in the NBA at his position and he’s super long. If he had shorter arms and was smaller and if he was a 6’4/6’5 guard, he wouldn’t be in the NBA. He’s 6’9 with a long wingspan and abnormal passing ability. And to be honest I don’t see Anderson being in the NBA for a long time.

He would have everything you would want from a PG to pair with stud offensive players.
Just don't know if that shooting is ever going to come. He has a long long ways to go.
