I hate you Ozzy!! I have to write it again! grr
JUst saying, I got a question on Big V. Do you think it could be possible to play him 30+ min in his rookie season?/? (Kyrie Minogue is playing 28) I mean, we already need the best of him, and yes, I agree he has to get some weight..

There won't be a need. He'll average 20/15 in 25 minutes.

Cant wait to watch him play alongside Bargs. He's going to be getting a bunch good looks, rolling to the basket. All those open looks that Amir and Gray, and the other Bigs get looks that he'll be able to finish without a problem. Next season will be a gooder

With all the talk of Davis and Drummond, what do you think current Val would put up in the NCAA playing for a premier school like UK or UConn?

Val would be the best player in the NCAA this year not just freshman.
Both Davis and Drummond much less complete than Val on a team like Kentucky or the Orange he would be 20+ppg 15Rpg 4 bpg
While I like Davis right now the best player in the draft he is defensively skilled but still needs to become better offensively.
Drummond all the potential in the world but could be a bust as easily as a star.
If Val had been in NCCA last year he would have went #1

I haven't watched enough Jonas. My question is, can he shoot from 10-16 ft? Does he have a jumper?

Agreed, while I don't know if he would avg close to 5 blks a game he would certainly be the clear cut #1 pick. Mind you I think AD isn't all that to begin with (so take with a grain of salt), but I think this draft class is a tad overyhyped.

Yes.

Doesn't use it too much with Rytas as they like him around the basket but he has significant potential as a guy who can knock down mid range jumpers at a good clip, which is supported by his excellent FT percentage.

He used it a lot more in the summer with the U19 and senior Lithuanian teams.

he seems to have a good freethrow shooting mechanics.
