This could be one of their pro arenas next year if Sac picks one in the lottery.

I want Kemba Walker on this team. He's nasty

I'd prefer to keep Stew and give Monte Morris
I'd really prefer to keep Morris and Stew and give the great Killian Hayes and 2nd round picks

Derrick Williams is a very tough cover for defences. Wow, the combination of strength and finesse.

Agreed. See the way he split that double earlier?

That's what we need in a PG. He can get to the rim any time he wants & there isn't much the D can do about it.

Love DWill but I seriously cannot see him play SF. He can't create off the dribble like an SF can and he's not blowing by anyone from the perimeter.

DWill might turn out to be the best player in this draft. He's got crazy skill for a guy his size. He's young too & can only get better.

He looks like a career allstar to me. I don't think there's another player in the draft that I feel that way about.

I'd love to get him, but íf he's not #1, he'll be #2.

I don't know how UCONN is going to defend him in this game. I guess you put some length on him, but he'll just blow by the big, or body his way to the rim.

That's what is so unique about him.

He did it from 3 point land last game & dunked it.

I agree with you though.....he's a bit of a tweener (from a skill set standpoint). He's still got enough size for the PF position. He's eat PF's alive off the dribble.

Arizona is just a better, deeper, more skiled team overall. Outside of Kemba & Lamb, UConn doesn't have much. I can't see UConn being able to keep up.

Edit: They're making me eat my words right now!

Yeah he's number 2 on my draft board after Irving. His skills are intriguing and would fit in with our team. but we'll have to do something about our power forward position because I can't see him playing SF. He would look good playing alongside DD and JJ.

But he did it after a pick like how a PF would. What I mean from creating from the perimeter and off the dribble like an SF is with a defender on him where he would blow by them or shoot off the dribble after breaking his man down. I have yet to see these skills from him yet.

It helps to have Derrick Williams sitting on the bench due to foul trouble if you're UCONN.

Williams comes back in, and picks up his 3rd foul
