i think huerter has more moxie than korver

Ron Swanson · Post #1842 » by **Ron Swanson** » Wed May 30, 2018 6:18 pm

Korver is a once-in-a-generation type shooting talent and shot over 45% from three in his college career. Don't think that Huerter has near that kind of shooting potential. #WhiteGuyComps

NBAdraft.net's comp is Fred Hoiberg.... c'mon really?

Not sure you can make an apples to apples comparison there, because Korver had a 19' 9" line. I'm also guessing Korver didn't take a lot of NBA range 3s for spacing purposes, because that wasn't done back then.

Having said that, Korver was a phenomenal shooting prospect, but so is Huerter.

i don't think the comp is THAT much of a stretch

but that's just my opinion

i would be happy if the ringer's latest pick of Bates-Diop was true

not over the moon happy, but i think i'm higher on him that most

Discount Klay Thompson is James Jones. Is he James Jones? I think he'll be better than that.

I pray he gets a workout. Not sure how he's going about private works because I know he has a pinkie ligament issue on his shooting hand and still was one of the best shooters at the combine.

at least the bucks ended up with Tobias Harris, and not Jimmer

not ideal obviously, but looking back at that draft....the Bucks got S. Jax, Shaun Livingston, Beno Udrih, and Tobias Harris for Jimmer, John Salmons, and Corey Magette.

JHSFIVE · Post #1852 » by **JHSFIVE** » Wed May 30, 2018 7:05 pm

I hear ya but I wanted Klay pretty badly... Kawhi I saw In the tourney but had no idea he'd be near what he is.

Don’t worry, the Bucks were reportedly very high on Alec Burks at the time. Hell, I believe the reports were we were deciding between Tobes and MarShon Brooks when we traded down :lol:

classic Bucks.

Gary Trent Jr. is the best deep threat in this draft IMO. Impressive efficiency on high volume while a freshman in the ACC. Devin Booker college comps.

Sorry, fans of Porter.

Don’t understand his decision. Does another year bump his stock significantly higher to outweigh the risk of being hurt? Heck, look what just happened to his brother.

Next year's class isn't nearly as heavy with elite bigs. I don't think it was a good choice by him, but if he performs well and improves his body he should be a top ten pick.

Who do you think will be the #1 overall pick?
