Does us no good but a KD like prospect will be draft eligible in a couple years.

I don't care if its Booker, Mitchell, Kawhi, KD etc etc The Playoffs each and every year continue to show you need a go to scorer which is why I'll continue to pray that we somehow fluke into drafting Jalen Green.

Big games need big time players.

Yep. Suggs too. He seens like a real savant

Just give me any of the top 4 - Cade, Suggs, Mobley, Green for me in that order.

I think there are guys that can contribute right away:

Franz Wagner
Chris Duarte
Moses Moody
Alperen Sengun
Usman Garuba

Both bigs can rebound and physically they can at least play bench units. These guys were already playing at a high level in Europe.

Wagner can easily step in and play given how much experience he has had with NT and Michigan, plus he is strong enough and his size/wingspan should allow him to guard multiple positions.

Moody looks like a good role player. Definitely 3 and D and he should be passable on defense because of that wingspan and overall he knows how to fit into a team. He played Monteverde and was a superstar role-player there.

Duarte should not take too long, just like Desmond Bane or Brogdan.

How could Sengun be able to contribute when Barnes is a better defender (taller and longer, 10 lb difference)? I don't see Barnes being ready for us, let alone Sengun, Wagner and Garuba being contributed off the bench in the NBA, maybe for G-League teams like the Rockets, Thunders, etc.

Moody and Duarte being more ready and lower ceiling may able to start, and usually bottom 1st are more NBA ready players with lower ceiling.

We don't have a single player on our team that can consistently hit the rolling big man. Despite this I can see Sengun being effective.

He's the type of player that creates his own opportunities by being more available, pinning smaller guys in the post, and going hard for OREB.

Sengun is MVP caliber in the 2nd best league in Europe. At 17 he weighed 270lbs at 6'11. Size isn't going to be a problem for him, length however may be.

Masai has gone for inexperience but you can't teach "feel for the game" and teach players how to control tempo or use pace changes.

This is the prime reason why Masai is likely thinking Giddey or Sengun at 7th or 8th.

I can see Giddey becoming a bigger poor man's Steve Nash ten years later. He would dominate the Gleague and get a rotation spot by January.

With each subsequent post Sengun gets taller and taller. When these draft threads started he was 6'9, then later he was 6'10, and now he's 6'11. I imagine by draft night he will be 7'2.

You know people can grow right?

He was fat and lost weight. This is why his athleticism took off.

He is 6'10 barefoot (measurements are taken in Turkey this way) and 6'11 in shoes. He's 18 and growing.

Who are the guaranteed all stars? Cade? Green?

Lucky number 7 lets go!!

[AbC?]

Random but I was just watching Jalen Harris' 31 point game against the Mavs and didn't realize how small he is. Some sites have him listed at 6'5 but he's about Brunson's height with a tiny frame. Still think he's a great get so late in the draft but he looks like a bench flamethrower type just because of his build.

Watch on YouTube

If he was showing this arsenal of moves at 6'6 with a bigger build, wew lad the hype train would be off the rails

[Steelo Green]

Team needs a bucket getter. Hope we go BPA not need.

My favourite reason to draft Sengun. He was once fat and then he lost weight. At 18 years old and in a Men's league too.

[OAKLEY_2]

I take Kai over him. He's not fat.

[biglottoballs]

My favourite reason to draft Sengun. He was once fat and then he lost weight. At 18 years old and in a Men's league too.

He already the already transferrable skils of shooting, posting down small mismatches, getting to the line, rebounding, McHale-like footwork in the post, and his physicality. He will make Embiid absolutely work underneath the basket. He is showing great motor and a good move in the future may be to start him at 4 and trade Siakam.
