I think this kid has a chance to be real special. His footwork on drives is so good/instinctual. He obviously needs to add strength and experience, but all the tools are there, and his skill level is up there too. Would understand if we skip him to go for a more sure bet, but would hurt to see him bloom like I think he could on some other team

The risk for the Raptors is he won’t be there at 15

I can’t see him flying by up big boards once individual workouts hit. If he can make the jumper a little more fluid, he’ll captivate at least one GM in the lottery.

Sharpe went 7th with a lot less tape.

This is why I was high on a rebuild. Could have emptied this gross bench and added Council, Sasser, Walsh, plus few others in 31-40 range. Guys that can contribute immediately.

Glad to see Jordan Walsh getting some recognition. I thought he was going to be a 16th-25th type prospect before the season started, but he was pretty underwhelming as a rookie overall.

No idea where he gets drafted but I think he has the potential to be a good NBA player, he has NBA size on the wing and he works hard.

He was actually my favourite at our pick entering the season, but that has changed since. I agree with you that it's nice to see him doing well. If he adds some more offensive ability without hurting his defensive effort he could become a nice 3+D guy in the league for a long time.

Any Brook Lopez style love for Kalkbrenner? I only ask because Giannis has blossomed with Lopez in the paint for him, and even though Scottie isn't Giannis it seems like Kalkbrenner could be a nice fit next to Scottie if he keeps improving on his 3 pointers. He might even be an UDFA.

He should be there at 15.

Kind of limited, good touch around rim, not much 10' and beyond. Not a post scorer, too weak. Could develop into a bench piece maybe.

Wouldnt mind getting another late pick and grabbing this kid.

Guys always rise and guys always drop during pre draft process.

This time last year Jalen Williams should have been there at 25…and then he went 12.

I can see the same thing happening to Coulibaly.

Cason Wallace showing tremendous poise in the 2nd half for Kentucky in a very high stakes game. That's what a good freshman looks like.

I've been hammering that JDub point during all of this but this is differnet as they are two different players. Jdub was polished and showed a versatile game. Coulibaly has tools but still far away. Lotto teams will be hesitant to pull the trigger. Goal more than ever is not to draft a bust in the lottery, especially with this year's parity.

Antonio Reeves is that kid on your basketball team you give dirty looks to

Talk about singlehandedly screwing your entire team

REJECTEDBYCLARK · Post #1538 » by **REJECTEDBYCLARK** » Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:07 pm

Calipari didn't have the balls to bench Reeves like Musselman benched Smith Jr. and that's precisely why Arkansas advanced and Kentucky is going home.

Reminds me of when Gary is like 1-8 from the field and Nurse keeps him in games and he finishes 2-12.

NotMyKawhi · Post #1539 » by **NotMyKawhi** » Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:18 pm

Just an all time horrible draft after the top 3

tbh the HS senior and Junior class is kind of weak as well. I think the top 3 players in HS basketball are softmores

BoyzNTheHood · Post #1540 » by **BoyzNTheHood** » Sun Mar 19, 2023 9:21 pm

Keyonte Johnson with a disappointing shooting game, but he’s still going to be an excellent pick for someone. I’d love him on this roster as opposed to certain boneheads we currently have.

Cason Wallace raising his draft stock sucks for us. There almost seems to be no way a guard of his calibre will be available when we pick.

Tshiebwe is a monster. I wish he had some range, but at this point he might just be a EuroLeague legend.

From earlier, Colby Jones showing why he’s so valuable. Just a rock solid, steady presence as Xavier advances
