He is. Can't play defense at all yet.


Yep, watched him a ton this year and he's such a weak rim protector literally no resistance. Not to mention he sucks at guarding ball screens. Much prefer Towns.

I like Frank the tank but I'm not sure how he will look against nba power forwards, he looks kinda small

The tourney will be FUN next year if the Knicks and Nuggets continue to suck. We may lack a star player now but hopefully we'll luck into the next stud :pray:

I wouldn't mind taking a look at Sabonis with our pick. We can pair him with the fellow Lithuanian JV :nod:

We all know that Kaminsky will be shutdown in the NBA, we all do.

He's pretty crafty though. As long as he's not chosen too high he could be a good pick I'm thinking.

He would work well with AD.

I like Dekker. He's so good off the ball, that always helps in the NBA.

Curious to see how he pans out, I really find him way too slow with the ball and too small for the Big League. Plus his release is too slow.
I would feel a bit differently about him if he was not 22 years old already.

Can't move laterally at all either. To start, he needs to get in much better shape.

Winslow reminds me of jimmy butler, not only do they have similar hair, they are both very athletic and have great defensive instincts. I see Winslow having the potential to improve on the offensive end much like butler has in his time in the nba.

He's 7'0", 240 lbs & is always the tallest guy on the court in this game...

Duke has no rim protection and Okafor is getting abused on the pnr.

Should be finishing up my paper but I can't resist the urge to watch Duke lose live.
