Would be an absolute swing for the fences, which I'm not necessarily against, but just be aware he isnt the player he "looks" like in his youtube clips. He makes a few of those plays a game, and the rest of generally very average to watch.

There is no doubt the kid is raw. But the flashes are there.

If management thinks this is a Giannis type pick, so be it. Lol

Personally if he becomes like Ariza, that’s already good value at 11.

Agree with this, could be draft and stashed, or just spend the year improving

[quote="fendilim"]I can see the intrigue. His game changed from day 1 to last game of the season.

He also has long strides. Several fastbreak attempts where he only needed 1-2 dribble front the half court to the ring. Lol

Obviously a really raw physical specimen, but I think based on what we saw throughout the year show he is a quick learner.

Still, he has a high boom or bust rate. Fortunately, I think we can afford it at this stage of our re-build when we already have two cornerstones.[/quote

The French Freak like Giannis only needing two dribbles to cover half court. I know it’s far fetched to even think he could be anything close to Giannis BUT he’s young and intriguing. What was the draft day hype ( it any at all ) for Giannis? Also Weltman drafted Giannis so I’d kinda trust him if he sees anything he likes about him.

OKC is the most likely promise, but I could definitely see him going ahead of them still and very possibly to us at pick 11.

id take him at 11, but even then. We are already a young team trying to reach the playoffs, and his game looks super raw. Adding a project would be odd. He does look explosive, but id rather get a knockdown shooter at 11

I think we may consider leaving him in Europe for another year.

I think this would be a good draft and stash for a season, let him stay in France and develop playing against men instead of being on the bench. My questions is though is there a contract buy out for him that we’d have to do? We definitely aren’t going to be adding two starters this year. We need Jordan Hawkins badly and a backup for Franz and or Paolo.

If we drafted him I’d want him over here being developed around Paolo and Franz.
