I can see second or third star guys here. Topic is intriguing. Dillingham could be if he overcomes his size. I agree that it’s a rough one though.

Personally, I have Sheppard, Topic, Edey, Knecht, Dillingham as possible allstars and atleast borderline stars if given the opportunity and some luck.

I was going to say...There are at least 5 all stars in this draft and about 7-8 more starters that potentially could someday make an all star team. Not all of them will be taken in the lottery. It's up to us to hit on a good player.

It's up to us first and foremost to keep the picks and then hit on good players.

Totally agree that there are potentially a half dozen players from this draft who could be all-stars and a bunch more that will be role players in the league for a long time.

I wonder if Morey sees Missi as what Giannis was in 2013, when he was surprised that Hinkie didnt take a chance on Giannis. Either that or can he possibly see Missi playing Missi with Jojo?

Maxey
Oubre
George
Missi
Embiid

That 3-4-5 is a defensive juggernaut

Its the only way.

After 10 years of doing the same thing, its worth a try.

Mik317 · Post #889 » by **Mik317** » Wed Jun 19, 2024 5:14 pm

think you still need that second big to be able to space and also guard on the perimeter..

yknow what we hoped Ben would become lol.

Biid can do both in spurts but his body isn't able to do it full time.

Missi is nothing like The Greek Freak.

He's just the Cameroonie Looney.

Is he really going to fall? I hadn't even bothered to look at him before since it didn't seem like he could possibly be in their range, but I guess now it seems possible?

The shooting numbers are tragically bad, but I'd absolutely take the gamble.

His BLK-STL numbers get me hype.

He's on my shortlist. If he or Carter falls we have to pounce. Shannon Jr. is my 3rd guy. da Silva is on/off my list every other day lol.

I imagine this gives a good idea of the first round promises.

We MUST roll the dice on Ron Holland if he somehow falls to us.

Kobblehead · Post #896 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Jun 20, 2024 12:54 pm

The French guys in this class are highly coveted and have a ton of hype.

However, anyone else concerned that they all tested poorly athletically other than Al Sarr and Pacome Dadiet?

They all have size and shooting ability, so it might not be a huge deal. I just think Sarr and Dadiet are the two with the most upside and guys like Risacher and Salaun might be getting a little too much love right now.

I've done a poor job of watching their tapes, but I do know we have had Dadiet in for a workout.

Dadiet might be one of the first guys taken in the 2nd round. Especially with the Spurs sitting at #35, looking to get all the Frenchman to accommodate Wemby.

If it falls to #41, he'd be an interesting target. Even though he's only 18, he's already a willing shooter with NBA-ready size. I think he might be an earlier than expected contributor.

When Flowers goes to the basket, it seems like the video is sped up. This dude has insane speed with the ball. He's a basketball fetus right now so it would be more of a longterm investment.

this is racist (or countr-iest) but after TLC, french wings and their athleticism or rather lack thereof has me shook. There is a different feel to real athleticism that they don't seem to show on most of their tape
