You were higher on him than I was then (I wanted him with what was the OKC pick) and you may be right if he keeps this up.

For most of the game Flip couldn't establish post position on Carey or Horton who both give up about 4-5 inches and 30-35lbs to him. Heck, he couldn't even seal their backup point guard Brown in single coverage during a switch at one point. He really needs to get stronger and shoot better because he's going to have to face up big players and post smaller players in the NBA as is.

I'm not even going to mention his defense, but the announcer said they were a better unit defensively after he went out with 4 fouls.

Mccain shot 40% from 3 this year. now showing up strong in the tourney. Definitely see a possibility where he goes 15-25

I'm trying to think of the best comp for him but it's a tough profile. He reminds me a bit of Brogdon but he's a much better shooter than Brogdon was as a college player and is a bit shorter.

I mean yeah... just about every mock has him slotted there.
I think he may go 10-15. A lot of the guys ahead of him are bowing out of this tourney.

I'm hopping on the Clingan bandwagon.

McCain has one of the most consistent jump shots I’ve seen in a while. He goes straight up and down, has a high release, and limits his movement. It’s such a consistent looking jumper

he's a guard version of cam johnson, the statistical profile matches as well

I'd be happy to take him with our Pacers pick.

Gotta feeling we're targeting dynamic combo guards with our picks, especially considering the players we've been trying out with those 10-day contracts (i.e., Carton, Ramsey, etc.).

Dillingham, McCain, Castle, maaaybe Collier - those are the guys I expect to be on the Raptors FO shortlist.

there's still a strong chance we give Spurs our top pick

I wouldn't mind at all. 2025 is so stacked. Sarr wouldn't even go top 5, heck maybe not even top 10.

Tyon Grant-Foster is the type of player Miami drafts and turns into a star role-player. Not sure if anyone in this draft plays as hard. Great length and athleticism as well. Still rough around the edges and tries to do too much, but I'd love to buy a 2nd round pick and bring him onto the squad (he'll have his pick of the litter as a UDFA)

grant101 · Post #1217 » by **grant101** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:21 am

Sheeesh. With the way he's playing, Tyon might not make it to the 2nd round. He's got that Tari Eason type of energy

BoyzNTheHood · Post #1218 » by **BoyzNTheHood** » Mon Mar 25, 2024 1:22 am

Tucker Devries will probably declare for the draft.

The typical Miami player is definitely Devin Carter and I've been wondering the past couple weeks if he's the move at #15.

He screams Danny Green to me. He's going to be an elite 3+D at the NBA level. Averaged 1.1 blocks last season, 1.0 blocks this year and he shot 38% from college at 7 attempts per game. He is a little bit older at 22, but he's exactly the type of guy who gets overlooked in every draft, and then teams go how did we miss this guy.

Both guys are Heat culture types of dudes. I can see them going Carter at 15 and TGF as a UDFA. They know ball.
