But Scottie Barnes is intriguing.

I still have Cade as the top guy, but I kind of wanted Jalen Green because I liked his fit with the roster and I didn't want to be too greedy :wink:

None of this matter now. We picking 12th.

Most of the West teams will have a better record so we either make the playoffs or draft 8-10

My top FAVORITE players in this draft in order are

PG - Jason Preston, Arturs Zagars, Scotty Pippen JR

SG - Ayo Dosunmu, James Bouknight , David Duke, Tre Mann

SF - Trey Murphy, Aaron Wiggins

PF - Azuolas Tubelis

C - Ike Obiagu, Jericho Sims

Favorite meaning if we draft any of them I will be really happy cuz I am a fan. These are my this years Tyrell Terry, Killian Hayes, Isaiah Joe's lol.

I truly think David Duke is a hidden Gem man. We have to change his name from David Duke to maybe David UNC. I think thats a way better name.

He might need to change his name because David Duke is a infamous former grand wizard of the KKK.

I know, when I first saw his name I was in shock that it was actually his name. If we draft him I wonder if we should call it

PAST 2 PRESENT - The David UNC Thread

Imagine if we drafted Jason Preston and he were LaMelo's backup wtf lol. Similar styles and look, it's like LaMelo (or Jason) would never actually leave or enter the game lol

UNCNYC · Post #107 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 3:44 am

We have some GREAT options in this draft. Turning out to be deeper than I thought but still not like last year. Gonna be some spots where you have to watch this draft. Lots of potential bust.

PICK 1 - Ayo Dosunmu, James Bouknight, David Duke, Jared Butler

PICK 2 - Azuolas Tubelis, Trey Murphy, Jason Preston, Aaron Wiggins, Trendon Wadford, Chris Smith, Arturs Zagars, Scotty Pippen JR,

For obvious reasons.

Fanta UNC Island - The david DUKE Thread

FANTA - would be short for Fantasy since he would be a fantasy player by not being highly touted and we would project him to be that a steal since he is under the radar.

UNC - I used this after Fanta because his name is DUKE and UNC replaces the SY in fantasy so instead of fantasy its fanta UNC and they are rivals in the state he plays in.

ISLAND - I got this name because he plays for PROVIDENCE and thats in RHODE ISLAND.

I need to know more about you. Can you write a memoir?

Wow, this is huge. As a Filipino, I'm happy that someone on this board thinks highly of Jalen Green (who's got Filipino blood). If we get to draft him, I'm pretty sure I won't be the only Charlotte Hornets fan in the Philippines. :lol:

UNCNYC · Post #111 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:08 pm

Welp this week is officially BASKETBALL heaven for me for a whole bunch of reasons.
So many SG'S I want us to consider drafting will be on display. A great way for us to guage some of the talent
that could be available to us come draft day.

-----
REASON 1 - NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS VS John Petty

They start the Maui tournament today and my Tar Heels play. If they win they can potentially play Alabama in the next game.
Alabama features John Petty, who I have always thought could be a good 2nd round option for us.

Caleb Love - 17.0 PTS, 1.0 REB, 4.0 AST
John Petty - 14.0 PTS, 6.0 REB, 1.0 AST

GAME DATE - ESPN-2, Tomorrow, 9:30 pm. (potentially) / #16 NORTH CAROLINA VS ALABAMA

-----
REASON 2 - David Duke VS Trayce Jackson-Davis

David Duke's name has been mentioned by me here and what better way than to see if he has the goods is by watching his game
in the Maui tournament which begins today. He plays against Trayce Jackson-Davis today who had a huge game the other day.
Depending on how Jackson-Davis does today I might add him into consideration as to who we should draft.

David Duke ------------- 18.0 PTS, 7.0 REB, 2.0 AST
Trayce Jackson Davis - 26.0 PTS, 11.0 REB, 3.0 AST

GAME DATE - ESPN-2, Today, 2:30 pm. / PROVIDENCE VS INDIANA

-----
REASON 3 - James Bouknight VS Scotty Pippen JR

Bouknight is in my top 3 SG'S I think we should draft. He reminds me of Brandon Roy a bit. He plays Scottie Pippen JR team.

James Bouknight - 19.0 PTS, 6.0 REB, 1.0 AST
Scotty Pippen JR - 25.0 PTS, 3.0 REB, 4.0 AST

GAME DATE - ESPN-2, Tomorrow, 5:00 pm. / UCONN VS VANDERBILT

-----
REASON 4 - Ayo Dosunmu VS 2 Headed Monster

This should be an awesome matchup and game. This game will feature Ayo Dosumnu going against Jared Butler and kind of
Macio Teague as well (who both play pg and sg for Baylor).
As of now I have Jared Butler ranked right behind David Duke as to who I think we can draft at SG. And I also have Macio Teague
as a 2nd round sleeper.

Ayo Dosunmu - 25.7 PTS, 7.7 REB, 6.7 AST
Jared Butler -- 18.5 PTS, 3.0 REB, 4.5 AST
Macio Teague - 18.0 PTS, 6.5 REB, 2.5 AST

GAME DATE - ESPN, 12/2, 10:00 pm. / #2 BAYLOR VS #8 ILLINOIS

-----
REASON 5 - Ayo Dosunmu VS Jalen Johnson

Ayo Dosunmu -- 25.7 PTS, 7.7 REB, 6.7 AST
Jalen Johnson - 19.0 PTS, 19.0 REB, 5.0 AST

GAME DATE - ESPN, 12/8, 9:30 pm. / #8 ILLINOIS VS #9 DUKE - NUFF SAID

Read on Twitter

I want this guy so bad. I know we have little shot at him now but look at this defense, on top of his playmaking, scoring and shooting ability. He's a freak.

UNCNYC · Post #113 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 7:31 pm

Getting ready to watch the Providence VS Indiana game. I doubt we will get any of the first 5 picks but David Duke who plays in the providence game could be a good option for us. I can't WAIT for Pippen JR VS Bouknight tomorrow.

Yeah David Duke is laying a major egg. Tomorrow I will get redemption in the James Bouknight VS Scotty Pippen JR game. I haven't seen much of David Duke, or Jared Taylor playing, moreso highlights but I have seen full games of Bouknight, and Ayo and they are the truth. Trust if you watch tomorrows game Bouknight will not dissapoint.

Tomorrow I get redemtion. Trayce Jackson-Davis has impressed. I was on the fence with him but I like him more than I do Robinson Earl so I will probably trade places with them.

James Bouknight VS Scotty Pippen JR 5:00 pm tomorrow. Will not dissapoint.

UNCNYC · Post #116 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 8:42 pm

David Duke laid major egg.

If Bouknight and Scotty Pippen JR suck tomorrow I will not post until the NEW YEAR.

UNCNYC · Post #117 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 9:27 pm

That sucks Vanderbilt has paused basketball due to covid. I wonder if UCONN will still get to play? I want to see BOUKNIGHT.

UNCNYC · Post #118 » by **UNCNYC** » Mon Nov 30, 2020 10:14 pm

David Duke and Likekele got me feeling like

Iron Nate Real Deal Robinson.

UNCNYC · Post #119 » by **UNCNYC** » Tue Dec 1, 2020 8:29 am

This is a player I think we should highly consider for the 2nd round. I caught some of his games and he is legit. I was HIGHLY IMPRESSED. Both Gache is such a smart player. He plays 4 positions and does a little of everything. Real high b-ball IQ. I think it would be a steal if we got him. He has a game coming up on the 8th against BC. He's not gonna impress you with dunks and cross overs but he will show you how the game is played properly.

Watch on YouTube

It's early but as far as fit and talent combo I like Jalen Green. Mobley could be interesting but I'm not blown away by any of these kids.
