Cleveland needs Barrett



YES!!! :nod: :nod: :nod:



The only issue -- Collin Sexton is maybe the worst possible fit next to him. But if you believe RJ can be the guy, you take him and figure it out later.

(If only Cleveland had taken Mikal Bridges last year instead. That kid can play alongside anyone.)

I disagree, I think he needs someone like Sexton who really isn't a passing PG where he can dominate the ball handling role

Hey. Time will tell.

I just don't believe Collin Sexton defers to anyone.

He seemed to defer PG duties to Delly and Clarkston when I watched Cavs games this calendar year.

Speaking of my guy Isola, they had Ty Jerome on this morning. Sounds like a good guy. 6'5", multifaceted shooter. Good 2nd round pick potential?

I love Ty Jerome; and kids coming out of Virginia Bball have proven to be consistent contributors in the NBA. I'd gladly take him at #35.

But I suspect he'll be snatched up by a contender at the end of the 1st round. (He'd be a great fit in GS)

Ya he might be a hidden jem. He’s got that unorthodox left hand push shot in the lane and is very crafty. Curious to see if the old school Cousy type shot works in the league today.

Smart player though and Schlenk will keep an eye on him I think.

Are there any draft specials on NBA radio Cagey? Like in the upcoming couple of months. I try to listen to it on the road but the swag always has been bumpin hits with the top down like a douche... I said like a douche I’m not really a douche.

UVA players always seem to be solid contributors. Just gotta know when to pull the trigger on them. No lotto or high/mid 1st rounders on UVA players or you'll be disappointed.

I’ve had a couple come to mind. I like Brogdon a lot and old school 92 lotto pick Bryant Stith, a big contributor to the Nuggets 94 upset of the Sonics. Good solid guard from Virginia with sound fundamentals.

DeAndre and Bol Bol.

Jamaal they have us selecting Bol at 9 over your boy Sekou Doumbouya. Your thoughts?

Offensively, it makes sense to grab a 7 foot three point shooter.

But his defense in space, lack of motor and health issues make me wary.

It's a fit in theory, but drafting Bol could easily be a wasted top-10 selection with the last lottery pick we expect to have for a decade.




Ultimately: I think drafting Bol is too much of a gamble when they have Sekou, Reddish, Jaxson and K Porter Jr still on their draft board. :nonono:

Both of their write-ups on these kids seem pretty spot on.


Minnesota Timberwolves: Sekou Doumbouya | Limoges CSP

Doumbouya isn't much of a household name, but maybe he should be. His highlight reel suggests that he could be the next Pascal Siakam with his ability to outrun other big men, finish acrobatically at the rim, handle the ball in transition and even knock down some three-pointers with his high-arching jump shot. However, the scouting profiles on Doumbouya suggest that he'll be a little clueless in his first couple of seasons in the league (he started playing basketball at age 14) and that his effort levels are inconsistent at this time. He'll be in the mix at the back end of the lottery and could be an ideal long-term fit next to Karl-Anthony Towns.


vs

Atlanta Hawks (via Dallas Mavericks): Bol Bol | Oregon

If the Hawks end up with two top-10 picks, why not swing for the fences with one of them? Bol Bol is the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in this draft because of his unique skill and body combination. At 7-foot-2 but only 220 pounds, Bol Bol will enter the NBA as one of the skinniest players in league history (much like his late father, Manute Bol). Also like his father, Bol Bol's insane height and wingspan make him an elite rim-protector without much effort. But unlike his father, Bol Bol is an excellent offensive player who can score from three levels. That was on full display in his nine games with Oregon, where he averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds with scintillating 56-52-76 shooting splits. On raw talent alone, Bol deserves to be a top-five pick in this draft, but scouts have cooled on him as of late because of his foot injury. (Once 7-footers' feet start getting hurt, they tend to stay hurt.)

Return to Atlanta Hawks
