I've been watching some tape on him, and I've got to say I kind of like his game. He's projected well below our range right now

Don’t we all?

But if you're a C- on defence (let's assume he improves) and a good but not top 10 shooter in the league and you don't get steals, blocks or rebounds, you're just a bench scorer and a late 1st/high 2nd type pick to me.
Vecenie has Bufkin (Michigan's 2 guard) who is the age of a frosh - but a sophomore - going 28th, and I do think he has everything you need to be a 7/10 SG in all aspects. Not super exciting, but a very good bench player. Logical type player for us to target as a Trent backup by his 2nd or 3rd season if we end up with a high 2nd rounder from an OG or Boucher trade this summer.

I remember when people on this board were claiming Morrison is the next Larry Bird

Barring injuries we'll be picking lower than 9th. Probably somewhere around 12-15.Mark_83 wrote:Currently picking 9th. In position for a guy like Cason Wallace, Anthony Black, Keyontae George and, or if he keeps being underrated, Jarace Walker.
1) HOU - Wemb
2) SA - Scoot
3) DET - Miller
4) CHA - Whitmore
5) ORL - Amen
6) IND - Walker
7) ORL - Ausur
8) NO - Black
9) TOR - Wallace / George

There is love for him. There was a period he was the next hot thing on this board. Really talented. Fits the mold. Haven't heard too much about him since he criticized his coach, maybe he'll fall to us.

His team is horrible and he can't shoot or pass.

That’s where his future is in the NBA: As soon as he gets stronger and more capable of holding up at the point of attack physically, Rupert is going to be a true defensive difference-maker. He’s already that in the NBL, earning a starting role on the No. 2 team in the league because of his ability to shut down opponents and play solid team defense. He hasn’t been handed anything this season, like past Next Stars in the NBL; he’s reached out and grabbed it, earning a critical role in highly competitive playoff atmospheres. On top of that, Rupert’s background checks have come back pristine. He’s noted in Australia as an exceptionally hard worker, he’s all about the team as opposed to his own ambitions, and he has a remarkably professional mindset for a player who doesn’t turn 19 until May. My bet is that a team decides to place a calculated bet on him in the top 20.
