Draft them.
It's time to change the culture of this team.
The prospects with the best motor in this draft in our range (outside of the lottery) are:
1- Ryan Dunn.
2- Yves Missi.
3- Zach Edey.
4- Dvin Carter.
5- Jamal Shead.
6- Reece Beekman.
Part of the reason I'm not overtly worried about using our 22nd pick to draft a point guard in Kolek (although I really like Kolek)!!! is because their are actually numerous really good "in game" poised floor general type tablesetting guards with good ball security too well into the 2nd round and undrafted ranges. And I really think that as badly as we DO NEED an actual adept point guard, we need a lockdown switchable relentless defender (wing AND frontcourt) that is long, physical, quick, athletic and dynamic even more.
Again I say this because that archetype is even rarer in this draft (even though I have two or three undrafted alternative options for that too)
But our problem beyond the absurd FATIGUE/ WEAR DOWN related careless turnovers is a product of building a roster (James Jones ineptitude) primarily of smaller,thinner, UNATHLETIC,PASSIVE, SOFT (averse to physicality, MENTALLY WEAK finesse oriented players. This is why Nurk at times has been so critical for our success due to his size, physicality, motor, grit. IF only not subdued by his own clumsiness (I have Nurkic backup insurance too in Joel Soriano- A tough,burly, mobile 6'11 265 lb bully ball 4/5 double/double big with a Kurt Thomas type disposition but still skilled). Anyways apologies for the rambling.
The players listed above are the best remaining (still in the draft/ not returning to college) high motor, physical mentality, aggressive nature prospects that embody the fire, grit, toughness, killer instinct that our soft, mentally weak roster truly needs.
Thanks for this. I don't know **** about college. Just watched a couple minutes of Dunn highlights and it showed me everything I needed to know. If he's got good character off the court too, then sign me the **** up.
