Re: Clint Capela
He may be a top 2 physical talent in this draft. His basketball playing talent (skill+feel for the game) may be dead last for guys projected to be drafted.

I haven't seen Capela play other than in highlight videos so could you link me to his games?

Re: Clint Capela
Barely first round worthy, the guy is just clueless in basketball court, pretty bad body language too, and the fact that he was obsessed with being a SF before worries me a ton.
He seemed to have played more like a post player last season though, focusing on rebounding and finishing around the rim, but still... he is just too raw and too much of a gamble to spend a high pick on him.
I won't be surprised if he falls to the 2nd round, I got easily Exum, Saric, Nurkic, Porzingis, Inglis and Micic ahead of him as international prospects.

Re: Clint Capela
from seeing some of his videos, I think he's more in the mold of an Amir Johnson and not Serge Ibaka. I think he'd be a lock in the first round, could slip at the tail end not because he's losing value but because some prospects are climbing up the draft board.

Chad Ford having Capela at 28 on his mock two days before the draft is one the crazier things I've seen.
INSANE if this guy doesn't go in the lottery.

insane if he doesn't go in the lotto? no.

teams either love him or hate him.

Re: Clint Capela
He benefited from Porzingis' decision to pull out of draft. He is currently ranked #23 at average, will most likely get picked the first round.
