Which is why Jabari was so highly touted. Need to find a guy who is already shooting around 35% that can bring more. One reason I think Bufkin is really interesting. That guy can do everything and doesn’t have a thing that is terrible at.

Which means... he has the potential to become that much better at it all. Agreed... not a fan of singular dimensional players... unless the they have proven to be ELITE at what they do and it results in winning. lol... and that's hard to find. cuz if that shooter comes in and doesn't shoot well... tis a waste of a pick.

starting to really like Whitmore at 6 and it's a whose available at 11 or so and don't really love Dick. I'd take George or Hawkins over Dick.

Aside from the top 3, i think the draft will be very different from what most are projecting.

It's a shooting league today.

And-1

Example: Jordan Hawkins has flown up my big-board. Yes he's a stretch at #11. But he has an employable NBA skill; he can friggen Shoot the rock!

I really like Gradey at 11, and i think there's a good chance he is there. I think there will be better guys on the board at 6 or 7. If we make both of our picks and he's our second I will pretty happy.

Jaime Jaquez twitchy. He could be a nice sleeper. Tenth in the nation in BPM 10.7. Wouldn't have expected him so high in no-step vertical.
