This may mean Powell will be dealt very soon.

ROY candidate if he gets all of Delon's + Norm's PT haha ala Malcolm Brogdan.

It really depends on what they do with Delon + Norm + FVV.

they could potentially include them in a trade with Ibaka for another big contract type of trade, probably at our weakest position in probably SF - as OG has no equals or true backup at his position.

I think he'll mostly just be an attack closeouts kind of guy and in Nurse's system can hide some of his weaker traits. Mostly expecting some high energy on ball D and anything else is a bonus.

I am ready to build this team around Alkins.

Alkins would be a nice backup though. him and Lowry - bulldog mentality.

and Lowry is most likely not being moved unless Nurse believes he's getting a better PG than Lowry.

If Alkins gets the playing time, he could really show out in summer league defensively. Unlike Powell, he can guard some 3s in the league with strength and hit his open looks. I am all in

His body type reminds me a bit of Anthony Bennett. Really broad and stocky with long arms. Apparently he has been scouted by the Raptors for a while now.

Yeah, I can't believe the rest of the NBA was foolish enough to pass on Alkins. It'll be fun to see other teams reactions when he's headed to the all-star game next year.

I'm intrigued. I'd definitely choose this kid for a roster spot over Mckinnie and Brown.

Great.
He can sit on the bench and watch as this team gets swept again next year.

I thought the current CBA prohibited using more than one exclamation point on undrafted players.

why did this player - i've heard of him - fall out of nba draft? injury? size?

i will note he was at best #3 on arizona behind ayton and a very high volume scorer who name escapes me (triller? HS scoring phenom)

the NBA draft scouting reports kill me... Ayton isn't good offensively or defensively. doesn't fit new NBA at all (i disagree but it's certainly not the 1970's). questionable character/motivation. but semi-dominant #1 overall pick. surely i'm missing something. my paraphrase might be overly negative but only moderately i'd say

He moves like a slower, more controlled, version of Lance Stephenson.

lance motivated is a decent player. too bad, lance only plays when hes going against lebron. this kid has potential to be a nice role player tho
