Isn’t he looking like a lottery pick? We won’t pick until mid-late 20s most likely.

I want Luka Samanic. Knocks on him tend to be inconsistent motor on defense and poor body language sometimes when things don't go his way. He's an extremely skilled PF though. Can shoot it very well from the FT line and pulls up from NBA range on his three. Throws nasty passes in the half court and transition.

He wouldnt be bad and we do need a power forward but i think he will be available in the second round he is a project and i think there will be better fit for us available.But his upside might get him to the first round.

You are projecting Samanic to fall out of first round? He’s projected to go late teens to early twenties in a lot of mocks.

2019 NBA Draft thread 

Post#26 » by getrichordie » Thu Nov 29, 2018 3:32 pm

Killian Tillie is the kind of guy I’d think we would target. Super long PF with solid motor who can dribble drive, knock down catch and shoot 3s and looks like a solid enough defender for our second unit.

Have to wonder if Presti will go for a big with Noel possibly declining P.O.

Let’s say we get 25-27th pick in draft and Hachimura is still there. We have to take him right?

I have only seen him going in the first round on 1 mock draft.But it way to early to really know i just think he wouldnt be ready to to contribute next year his body would need alot of size to play Pf in the nba and okc needs someone who can help out next year.But i do think he could be really good but at the same time his lack of effort on the defensive end could easily scare everone away.You can't teach effort not saying he want try harder in the Nba but it definitely a big gamble.

If Hamchimura is there they should definitely take him and would probably end up being the steal of the draft.Tille would not be bad.I do think Noel will definitely opt out maybe we can still sign for at least 2 more year and if not there we could get a decent back up C for cheap.

Of course you take Hachimura, but he’s projected lottery.

I’d also consider taking a flyer on Darius Garland if his knee injury causes him to drop.

I don't think it's likely he falls outside the lotto, tbh

I doubt it either, but maybe because of the knee injury

Yeah, you never know, but it's a meniscus tear, I wouldn't bank on that sinking his draft stock. He might drop a few spots, but it's just hard for me to imagine that will scare too many teams away. Not to mention before the injury he was probably the best PG prospect in this class and might still be. But, yeah, wouldn't mind him dropping to us, not at all.

I think okc needs to find away to get a few 2nd round picks i believe there will be a bunch of 2nd round sleepers this year.
Brandon Clarke from Gonzaga, Fletcher Magee from Wofford dude has shot 40+ % from 3 every year scored 27 point agains North Carolina last year, Dylan Windler from Belmont Dudes 6'8 shoots around 38 % from 3 reminds me of a kover/Hayward type play. I also like Marques Bolden from Duke as a backup C for Okc he also can be had in the secound round.
And these just the ones i know will be latter 2nd round picks because they of the little exposure they will get.

Sneaky athleticism, coach's kid, hard worker, gritty, first one in last one out, smart player?
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I just find it weird that I haven’t seen him in many mocks. Maybe I haven’t been looking at enough mocks lol.

I really, really like Shamorie Ponds’ (St. John’s) game. Seems like the kind of guy who will flourish with more spacing. He’d be a nice stash under Schroder.

Not overwhelmingly athletic. He’s 6’1 with a 6’3 wingspan but the dude knows how to operate in the pick and roll and get his shot off. He’s a playmaker too.

Yeah i have watched alot of tape on him he reminds me of felton when he first came into the leauge but more athletic and better basket IQ he would be a good back up Pg in the Nba.

Yeah i been thinking the same thing but i watched one of there games the other day and the man is good and he does it in the flow of the offense there whole team can shoot the 3 ball very well.He needs pick it up defensively a little bit but they could be a good team this year and it will help his draft stock.
