Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
Miles Bridge if they want a tweener, or Carter if he becomes available for the Hornets.
Maybe a bet with Duval if they look for a combo guard that match both Kemba & Monk's skillsets (and liabilities).

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
We actually do need another power forward, but of the wing variety - not the 4/5 hybrid that describe Cody and Frank. Thankfully, this draft is stacked with 3/4 hybrid players.
Miles Bridges
Kevin Knox
Jarred Vanderbilt
Justin Jackson
PJ Washington
Isaac Bonga
At least two of those guys should be available when we draft.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
I'm 100% out of the loop on college stuff this season. I could name like one guy that I think is supposed to be in their starting lineup.
Sad!

Bridges is going to dominate.

We should trade our 1st to Detroit for Kennard.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
with draftexpress being gone i have no idea what to do with prospect scouting. 
want to get a PF (yep) who is a good 2-way player with some upside. Frank can be a center.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
This is going to be a depressing offseason with no DE. Are we going to have to rely on NBAdraft? That site is awful.

Was thinking about this the other day - real opportunity for someone to fill the DE void.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
I think there would be others who can and will write scouting/draft reports of prospects but they would have a hard time doing the strengths/weaknesses video analysis of Givony and his team. IMO, that plus their international scouting are what separate DE from the other draft reporters.
EDIT:
I realized Chad Ford could fill the DE void but we have yet to see which media outlet he's going to join. He haven't tweeted since July.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
Might get a second chance at Miles Bridges at this rate. Hell maybe better.

I don't care what we do this season as long as we tank for Bol Bol next season.

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
Kevin Knox looks great. He oozes potential. Nice length and athletic ability.

Marvin Bagley is freaking incredible.

Yeah Knox or Bridges would both be great. Unfortunately, I think we'll be right outside that range and I'm not a big fan of Robert Williams. Possibly Duval from Duke? He is explosive but can't shoot :/

How high do we need to be selecting to have a shot at Bridges?

Re: College/prospects thread 17-18
We should be able to get one of Knox or bridges. I think both would fit nicely taking over for Marv eventually.
