Re: 2016 Draft
At this point, I really don't care who we get, that includes Ingram and Simmons. Hield, Murray, and Dunn have just as much chance as becoming studs as those hyped upped guys. I am beginning to like Sabonis as well. He looks like a taller younger Luis Scola.

Re: 2016 Draft
Only Dunn does IMO. Hield/Murray are dime a dozen.

Re: 2016 Draft
Can anyone see the Chriss - Amare similarities?
From the videos ive seen, he is quite explosive, athletic and very offense oriented. He just needs to bulk up. Ideally we draft him with our Wash pick, I dont think he will last up to that spot though

Yeah, I think the first time I mentioned him I mentioned Amare...great dunker, and not having played too long like Amare, but what he has on Amare is 3's and blocks so Ibaka might be the better comp as an upside.

Definitely don't see any shades of Amare who was more of a physical specimen in high school than Chriss is now.
Chriss reminds me more of a slower Paul George who sits on the PF end of George's SG-SF-PF spectrum. I don't mean that in a negative bad way, just that they're about the same size, have a post-up and perimeter game, but Chriss lacks the guard skills and speed that George has. Maybe a better way to describe him is a mix of the MoBros but with more athleticism.
He does look intriguing, I'm surprised he's not ranked higher. Seems like he'll definitely be there at the WASH pick based on the latest mocks, but you never know.

Chriss is athletic but he's a toothpick. Amare at that age was raw as hell but a genetic mutant.
