Lowry - Vasquez
DeRozan - Carter?
Ross - FA
Capela - Paterson
JV - Amir

Clint has said in the past he thinks of himself as a SF and would like to play that position more. That's my only concern when it comes to him. I don't think he has any desire to post players up and use that insane wingspan. Time will tell.

To be fair, a lot of draft experts and people here were both pretty high on Biyombo. Few people had Valanciunas on the radar, and I can't remember much being said about him. Nobody had Ross anywhere near the top 10...so yeah. Hard for me to look down on people's love for a player simply because the "experts" don'y talk much about him.

I actually think that we should draft Glenn Robinson iii with our 20th pick. He has great size for an sf great strength, elite athleticism, has a sweet shooting stroke from mid range, three and can get to the rim with ease.

Not sure if posted already

Kyle Anderson set up visits to Atlanta (Thurs), Boston (June 3), Toronto (June 5), source told ESPN. Hawks have 15, Celtics 17, Toronto 20.

Kyle Anderson does so many things well, and part of what we need to is good decision making. I see him as more of four that you could run the offense through, but if he can handle the three he provides a good weird type of player. I tend to prefer athletes to invest in, but weird players are also good since they can present match-up issues. Kyle Anderson doesn't really fit a conventional mold. Maybe he is a Hedo Turkoglu type player which is pretty unique company. He seems more efficient too, which is great.

I really wouldn't mind Robinson at SF for us but is he really an upgrade over Ross? He's not the shooter Ross is and has about the same length. I still like what he has to offer though

That's just good comedy.

enlarging my post and responding with "comedy" is not basketball talk.

We should stop to call DD the "all star" when we all rooted for Lorwy who deserve it more. Or at least not exploiting it out of context. DD is an all star of the show, not of the game

I think 2k ratings is not the law and Gallo is a better bbplayer than DeRozan.

KJ McDaniels measures better than Tony Allen (MEM) and people have questions about his size?

Allen guards 3's all the time and I don't see him being over matched.

KJ will likely be an elite defender in the NBA. I think him having better measurements than Tony Allen debunks the concerns.

I am calling it now, Exum will be biggest bust out of top 10 in this draft. Some sucker GM who is going to draft him going to lose job over it lol.

He would be an upgrade. Not a huge one but a bit of one. He's 2 years younger than Ross and has more upside. I think he could be a surprisingly good shooter like Leonard turned out to be. Check out his draft workout video, he's shooting really well in it.

positivies and negatives of anderson?

Johnny Be Goode · Post #435 » by **Johnny Be Goode** » Mon May 26, 2014 9:01 pm

I like Porzingis as a prospect but I'm a little bit worried about his inefficiency and his scoring stats from last FIBA U18 championships:
just 11.6 ppg
though 10 rpg and especially 4.9 bpg is impressive

http://u18men.fibaeurope.com/en/cid_2bq ... 89949.html

Has anybody watched him play more?

Tony Allen is tiny (at the 3) so I'd hope McDaniels has better measurements. You can be small and still an elite defender but we already have Ross who is effective but tiny at the 3. McDaniels will work, he's just not the ideal we (realGM fans) are searching for.

He's not a bad prospect but you can't look at his standing reach and say he's got great size for a SF.

Biyombo and Val were lottery picks on most draft experts mocks and Ross was supposed to
go in the teens. Inglis is a guy who's supposed to be a mid 2nd rounder on Draft Express mock
haven't seen him mentioned by the other ones although I haven't seen Chad Fords latest mock.

POSITIVES:

- Will be good in transition; can board and start break himself.
- Can see over the pick and roll.
- Advanced passer, ball handler.
- Skilled enough to play 3, point forward, big enough for 4. Plays multiple positions offensively.
- Improved shooter.

NEGATIVES:

- Extraordinarily long, but doesn't have a position defensively. Doesn't move feet well, not strong enough to defend the post.
- Fluid, but not explosive. At all.
- Is he a threat to score as pick and roll ballhandler? Can he make bigs pay for switching out on him? If not, smart teams will force him to score instead of facilitate, negating his passing and diminishing his value running the pick and roll.
