Bye-bye Deandre?

Loving the updates door, seems like you're on top of the tidbits this year.


Lol I haven’t slept in a week. I’m so excited for the draft. I imagine what most people feel on their birthday, I feel for the draft. ESPNU is replaying the top college games from this year nonstop so I have that on while I’m doing a bunch of research, listening to podcasts with scouts/gms and listening to interviews. Haha I’m a mad man.

I don't blame him. I'm a big Robert Williams fan as well.

It's also pretty weird that there's been nothing reported about it. Is he not a big enough prospect for reporters to care about? Pretty strange to have literally 0 info about it all.

Some teams are apparently super high on Elie Okobo. Could go as high as the Clippers picks.

Just kind of a general thing, the Clippers don’t seem too high on Lonnie Walker. I think they’re higher on Josh Okogie.

old school center that does not fit in today's NBA. I'd be very surprised if he's taken in the lottery if even top 20.

Guess Clint Capella doesn't fit in today's NBA either?

Rim runners still have their part to play in NBA offenses, in fact, added spacing makes them more viable than ever imo. He's extremely switchable on defense and he has passing ability, he's far from archaic just because he doesn't have a jumper.

Lol old school center? He’s a new school center. He’s a 5 that can defend 1-5 and he has a 40 inch vertical. That’s a pick and roll nightmare who switches on defense. Oh yeah, and his jumper is actually developing nicely. The only reason he’s getting underrated is because he had no point guard in college to roll with and he played out of position next to Tyler Davis, who took up the paint.

Now it makes sense why Shai Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t work out for anyone, the Raptors want to trade up for him and he’s from Canada. I wonder if DeMar DeRozan is an option for the Clippers. If Toronto is actually trying to go in a different direction. It makes sense because DeRozan is from LA, if he were to leave I would think LA is one of the only other places he would go.

Shai G-A might be gone by pick #12 though.

Maybe Lowry to Philly for their #10 pick + RoCo + Bayless?

If Philadelphia wanted him that badly they could've just signed him last season.

I would be pretty disappointed if the Clippers had Gilgeous-Alexander on the board for their picks and instead came away with DeRozan.

One thing is for sure, Jerry West is going to make a steal of a trade. Everyone is looking to trade up and they have some of the most available picks at 12&13 as well as trade assets. Come draft time, when teams get desperate to trade up, they can really pull for good stuff.
