Who is this Jusuf Nurkic kid? You can't teach size.

IMO at 20 I'd rather draft Glenn Robinson over Jerami Grant or Kj McDaniels.

Nice to see another fan of GR3. I was the only one on the bandwagon before you lol.

No problem bro!

I have this feeling that Wiggins is going 3rd to Philly. If Embiids back checks out he's the best prospect by a good margin. Parker is the most NBA ready and could possibly have even more upside then Wiggins. I really wouldn't be shocked to see it happen, I've pictured him in a Sixers jersey for a couple years now.

feels like a Okafor/Dwight situation

Every year there seems to be at least one good player that was projected to go higher and falls to the 20s for whatever reason. We need to get that guy. Dont really care who it is.

depends on the player..I'd rather have Sanders/PP/Bledsoe over Ed Davis

[SkywalkerAC]

GR3 reminds me of Sonny.

You back me up an I will back you up. Deal bro?

[lemons321]

It will be either Aaron Gordon, Doug McDermott or Tyler Ennis

I'd add Kyle Anderson to this list too.

I don't think so. Anderson, similar to PJ3 in 2012 had a unique skillset and slide but not out of the first round

PJ3 slid because of injury red flags for his knee. Nothing to do with his skill set.

GR3 is a better prospect than Wiggins and Embiid.

I think we need to take kyle anderson with the 20th pick. His ball handling and play making ability would be huge, in relieving pressure off kyle and demar. It cant hurt to have a willing passer for jonas on his rolls as well. I like his game its smooth and methodical. Has an old man game to him meaning he makes the right play and has to rely on b ball iq. Has good size and has good enough athleticism to be an impact player at the 3 for us. Hopefully Ross will add some weight this summer and add to his game so we can have our stopper and play maker at the 3.

People, you really can't judge Inglis's draft-worthiness at this point. He has, for whatever reason, kept a low profile so far and there is no reason for the likes of draftexpress to hype him up at the moment when others have been working out for their viewing pleasure. He's not someone who would be a workout warrior anyway.

He is, however, someone that a scouting-confident GM could take a bit of a gamble on. At this point in the draft (20), it's all about the guy you love because anyone dropping might be dropping for a reason. Also, if this were a regular draft this probably wouldn't even be a question. It's only because there projects to be so many good prospects available at 20 that Inglis seems like a bit of a reach, in addition to the lack of information available to the likes of us.

I also like Anderson a great deal. I think he's a gamer. He can control and impact the flow of the game and I think he's got too much love and acumen for the game not to improve his body as the years go. He should take away the need to play two 1s together for ball security. Can he beat out Fields in the rotation with his slo-mo rookie defence? Maybe, maybe not.

[cram]

I'll say it again...why not thisJusuf Nurkic kid? 6'11 and 280 with touch. You can't teach size.

[stanley14]

I do you liar!

Because he'll likely be gone by the time we pick.

There are a few Anderson haters that are about to come out and flame away at you for speaking highly of Anderson. You have to be an elite athlete to succeed in the NBA apparently. Lol

[DA_SCOUT]

lol Saric, lol Lavine, lol Randle, lol Mcdermott.

What's the difference between Randle and Stokes? They're pretty much the same player.

Randle is ZBO with elite athleticism and a very quick first step.

Theres a reason hes projected top 5 in most mock drafts.

Did you even watch college ball this year?

[ballislife]

I don't see that.

Randle has much more varied offensive skills than Stokes. ALTHOUGH, not sure if Randle's bull rushing style off the dribble will work effectively at the next level like it did at UK against inferior athletes.

Randle = Kenyon Martin w/o the D.

Randle is Randle is,
ZeBo on O,
ZeRo on D,
Randle is.

Randle is a lot like Randolph.

Not just their names, but their games.

The hate for Anderson really revolves around his lack of athleticism, but I think he has potential to make a great impact with his size and length along with his playmaking ability and his high ball IQ. He reminds me a lot of Paul Pierce with his slow-mo game. He's more of a facilitator, and less of a scorer. Turkey-doo in his best years is what I see of Anderson. A very big SF that can handle the ball and distribute... he'll have a great career if he can do that and stay away from Turkey's lack of desire.

KA would be a nice addition to our team, you can always use ball distribution and that's what he's best at with his size. He'll have to improve his jump shot, and his ability to play physically to make up for his lack of athleticism, but it's very promising seeing how he is at his age. I'd be ecstatic if he fell to us and we drafted him. A lot of potential.

strawman's argument..if KA even had a little athleticism, there wouldn't be any doubts about selecting him.

Novak's one of the most deadly shooters in the NBA, but he's an NBA journey man and struggles to see minutes. How does KA's athleticism compare to guys like Novak/Adam Morrison anyways? Is he faster than them? does he have more lateral quickness?

Can he even run the offense better than your average PG? What does he bring to the game that's above average outside of passing? Does it negate him being a defensive liability?

It's not easy to tell how well his game will translate and it seems like a big risk to take. Most players lose explosiveness, speed, agility the more seasons they play, not gain it.

I wouldn't want a player like Turkoglu though. He averaged relatively the same numbers in Toronto as he did in Orlando. The reason he looked useless was because Jose ran the point MUCH more effectively than Turk. In Phoenix, he looked even worse because of their high octane offense.

In Orlando, he had peak Dwight anchoring the defense and being a load in the paint on offense while being surrounded by 3 point shooters. Jameer's not good at running the offense, so it didn't look worse when the ball was in Turk's hands.

Hedo was a volume player who wasn't synergetic with a well-run offensive team.
