Draftees 2016 – Brown, Yabusele, Žižić, Jackson, Nader

[12buckets]

Loved Eric Williams. Interesting comparison (not sure if I see it, but interesting).

I still like Markieff Morris as a comp. Mobile PF, shoots the 3, can put it on the floor and get momentum behind a drive to the hoop, who mixes it up with bigger guys when he needs to (at least he used to).

Both are tweeners in that SF/PF role who will end up playing much more PF than SF when it's all said and done.

In the NBA, Nader would be more of a SF/SG/(PG); a 3-2-1. -- He's not so much a PF, on NBA terms.

I was talking about Yabu, The Dancing Bear. That's who Mang was oiginally asking about.

I haven't seen enough of Nader to make any comparisons. Could Nader turn into an Eric Williams? That'd be fine by me.

My mistake. -- I got it mixed up.

We get a chance to see Yabusele and Nader together. This aught to be interesting.

60 points, 25 rebounds, and 5 chase-down blocks in 20 minutes.

First points in the D-league.

I realize this is hyperbolic but does anybody else think KlayKlone when watching this Nader kid? More smoothness factor than me pretending to look at stat comparisons or ya'know--- anything factual.

Either way I loved him in SL the first time around. Legit excited to see him the next go around. Got legit potential to be an 8+yr vet if he plays his cards right IMO. This league is made for guys like that ATM.

EDIT: I used "legit" in back2back sentences here. Choosing to just highlight this vs "fixing" it.

2 legit to fix.

Mixed results for Yabs during his first minutes, picked up two quick fouls already and back to the bench

lol that defense

[CelticsLV]

If Mickey can shoot that 3 consistently then he might actually make it to the NBA.

He was doing it pretty well, last season, in the D-League.

[Parliament10]

Yabusele working on Double-Double.

[bs_and_cs]

Yabu finishes with 17 and 9 in 25 minutes. 4-8 from the field. 9-10 from the line.

As i have said this kid is going to make an impact in the NBA. i know this is the D-league but his games will transfer to the NBA.

I hated the pick and have not been optimistic. But the hangtime on that jam is a good sign on his athleticism, very encouraging. Last clip of one of his monster jams from china looked more like a sullinger rim grazer. Not this one!!

I'm 100% pumped about Guerschon, that was just awful defense -- they were like 'oh **** he passed it!!'
