Lots of good players went undrafted. Doesn't look like we'll have room for any, but keep an eye out for these guys.

I'm a bit upset that Payton got snatched by the Rockets along with Onuaku. Those were two of my sleepers.


I think we have to be a prime UDFA point guard spot given we only have Reggie Jackson rostered, with Lorenzo Brown on a partial guarantee. Which of these players did we bring in for workouts? Jarrod Uthoff, Robert Carter and Josh Adams are the names that ring a bell.

Cavs bought the pick to get Felder. Guess we weren't that interested.

I wouldn't mind a look at Baker. Apparently a heady player who can shoot and pass.

I think people need to relax on the Felder hype and realize it's probably just homerism. Not only do small players rarely succeed in the NBA, but Horizon league players rarely do either. Oakland has a player every year who dominates the Horizon League.

Keith Benson: 18 ppg, 10 rpg, 3.5 bpg, good athlete, great jumper, is playing in the D League 5 years later
Travis Bader: two time 20 ppg scorer. plays in Lithuania
Reggie Hamilton: Led D1 in scoring, plays in the TIer 2 Italian League

Felder is the best out of all these guys, but the competition level in the Horizon League is trash.

Felder is Will Bynum 2.0. No thanks. He might do well on the Cavs with LeBron to keep him in check, but not interested in revisiting the midget PG ballhog experiment here.

well in that case, SVG had Ellenson going at 10 , so 2 games for a player that is not suppose to be there is on par, and the reason why you hire ppl you trust around you. So your critiquing of SVG is off base and out of context, as always


Big difference between 2 games and every game. 2 games is not enough to evaluate a player. Stop apologizing for Stan.

Everybody knows SVG is the only person we got in the front office. All that stuff about analytics and metrics was bulls**t, it was a plan for SVG to get more money.


Every team has a scouting department. President of Basketball OPs still have to watch prospects too.
