Ousmane Dieng last 3 games:
17 points (6/14 FG, 2/5 3P, 3/6 FT), 3 REB, 3 STL, 1 BLK
17 points (6/16 FG, 1/8 3P, 4/4 FT), 9 REB, 3 AST, 1 STL
14 points (5/12 FG, 4/8 3P), 5 REB, 1 BLK

Only 18, 6'9. He is raw but the upside on both ends and the physical tools are still here.

If we can get Duren to pair with Trent and Barnes I'm loving our future. I don't know what it would take, but I don't think trading FVV, Siakam, or Pascal would be out of the question for me.

Right now Memphis is picking 11th and I'd throw them a win now offer for that pick

Adams, Melton, Terry, 11 for Siakam

What do you think duren can become ? Right now he's a rim runner what skills do you see him developing that makes him a top 10 pick. His basketball IQ is not there when you watch games and against real centers he has trouble even getting 10 rebounds I dunno just don't see the value in the top 15. He won't sniff what siakam has done in his career

At best Duren is Amare Stoudemire, but I don't think he'd top 20 ppg in his career.

You are very nice. Duren will probably not develop the skill Amare had. Maybe a poor man's Drummond which is still a very good player but not someone we should trade one of our starters for.

He should definitely be on the board around our pick as someone to consider. Even with his sub-par year.

Jabari Walker or Dieng?

Watching the Purdue-Iowa game and Jaden Ivey passes the eye test.
He has a smoothness to his drives that reminds me of Ja Morant.

I really wish we hadn't traded our 1st rounder and moved down for Young. Our pick is right at a prime spot to catch a really nice prospect in this draft. Agbaji, Beauchamp, Sochan, Daniels, and Brown are all likely to go right around that spot.

I don't think he's entering the draft but if he does we have to get John Butler. He's incredibly raw but the guy just has crazy skills. I see him as a rich man's Jaden McDaniels. I don't think he's ever going to put on enough weight to play center, but I think he can play in Boucher's role as a PF and also see time at SF with Scottie as the C. Needs to work on his shot off the dribble, but how may 7'1 guys with 7'4 wing can handle the ball like him, shoot from 3, and have bounce? He's a potential unicorn if developed correctly.

Every team in the league has a different draft board.

We have no idea where Agbaji, Beauchamp, Sochan, Daniels and Brown are going to go in the draft.

I haven't seen much of Butler but 41% from the field at 7'1 is very concerning. His lack of rebounding and blocks for his size is also extremely troubling.

He plays on the perimeter more like a 3 fsu plsys him at the top of the zone that's why he's so intriguing

I'd take dieng seems like his ceiling is higher but he's only been good in his last 3 and I haven't been able to watch a full game of his

Madhouse · Post #1072 » by **Madhouse** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 12:19 pm

Dieng would be the right pick at the top of the 2nd round. You need to swing big for internationals there to have a slight chance at the next mega international steal.

I'd rather go with Antonio McDyess, who was a beast in his prime. Drummond is an empty stat guy who's focused on himself more than anything else.

I think Dieng is the ideal guy for us. He fits the Raptors model of a player. Ideal height, multi-position, good defender, supposedly can shoot and facilitate. Plus he played so badly that if he was decent he might be in the lottery. Possibly a steal.

However I am strongly jumping on the Procida bandwagon if we go international.
1 - he's playing well unlike Dieng
2 - his shooting percentages for a SG / SG is god-tier compared to anyone else around him. Dieng's shooting is not good
3 - his current coach limits him to stay in the corner and shoot. However in international play he's an excellent cutter and very bouncy. He likes to dunk on people. Dieng is very timid.
4 - He is a little small and can get out-muscled but same with Dieng
5 - Just as good a defender
6 - He has swagger, which might mean nothing but he is very confident in himself.
7 - he also has ideal height for a SG being 6'8" with a 6'10" wingspan

If we don't go international there a lot of good players in this spot but for international Procida fits our need for shooting.

OakleyDokely · Post #1076 » by **OakleyDokely** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 2:56 pm

Tari Eason - 6'8 LSU

24.6 MIN, 16.9 PPG, 6.7 REB, 1.0 AST, 2.0 STL. 1.1 BLK, 52 FG, 35 3PT, 79 FT

Good size, good %s, fills the stat sheet, comes off the bench. Looks like a Raptors guy but he probably goes in the lottery.

BoyzNTheHood · Post #1077 » by **BoyzNTheHood** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 7:49 pm

When we first made the Thad Young deal people said it wasn't so bad to move down 10 spots in the draft, and I was one of them. But at the moment it's 16 spots and I sort of wish we just let Dragic expire.

mademan · Post #1078 » by **mademan** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 8:18 pm

Count me as another on the Gabriel Procida bandwagon. Dude can stroke it and he's very athletic to boot (and basketball athletic, not just open gym athletic). Big fan of his and if there's no international problems with him coming over (team owning his rights or some chit), he's one of my fav guys at the top of the 2nd round. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt get there tho; mans like Kispert goes in the lotto in a strong draft and Procida is nicer than him

Shooting is valued heavily in this league.

mademan · Post #1079 » by **mademan** » Mon Mar 14, 2022 8:24 pm

If we're tlaking international tho, lets not sleep on Mateo Spagnolo. Very decent size at PG (6'3), can shoot off the dribble, passes well and has a lot of offensive creativity to his game. Think he could be developed into a starting level PG

jabari walker will be a double double guy
