2019 Draft Thread

[Badgerlander]

I could see him carving a career for himself out of heady play and timely shooting like Seth Curry, but I don't see why he wouldn't stay at UVA unless he's already got his degree or has a nice offer waiting for him from Antibes, which just seems like a nice place to hang out and play basketball.

Could be Bryn Forbes with handles

I'd be careful with comps like these. Forbes with handles is a really good NBA player. It's more likely than not that he's not an NBA player.

Because you don’t like comps but really Bryn Forbes not on the spurs probably isn’t an nba player

[Ron Swanson]

Bryn Forbes is just Gary Neal minus the massive douchebag attitude.

[Frank Nova]

All in on Jalen Lecque now that he declared. Seems like a perfect late 1st round pick and someone to back up Bledsoe for the forseeable future. Lecque needs to work on his jumper but his athleticism is off the charts and hes a confident player that could really blossom under Giannis and Bledsoe.

There’s zero chance lecque is ready to play an nba minute for a good team for at least 2 years. He’s literally a handle and athleticism and that's it right now while being an unbelievably terrible shooter. Is he even a better prospect than Duval in any case?

Didnt mention once about him playing right away. Wouldnt even want him playing right away. With Giannis and Bledsoe, MKE is the perfect place for a raw prospect with off the chart athleticism and incredible feel for the game to learn from and get on the same workout program.

And yes I would say hes a better prospect than Duvall was.

We just look at the kid drastically differently. Like you view him as having great feel for the game where I see literally the exact opposite in that regard. To me, he basically sucks.

[RiotPunch]

Yeah, I gave Lecque a fair shot, but count me out.

He's a gifted athlete, but I don't see the insane, generational leaper that some are making him out to be. He's bouncy though, has some handles, pretty decent driving to the cup, provides some good help defense, but that's literally it. He fixates too much on the basket on offense and on the big steal/block on defense, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as you also exhibit good vision and feel, which I don't see from him at all.

Classic big-time athlete, small-time basketball player trap that I refuse to fall into again.

EDIT: He could also figure it out and be a good player, there's enough to work with that it is possible, for sure. Ultimately, too rich a project for my blood.

[emunney]

He looks like a great athlete to me and I have no idea how to evaluate him as a player.

[Chuck Diesel]

A ton of internationals are declaring. I wonder what the likelihood is we stash someone to maximize spots for ring chasers. Might be nice to have a rookie coming over the year we’re without a pick.

Now is the time to Stash. As you point out, there is a gluttony of internationals. Nab some UDFA's for the Herd. Get some ring chasers. Make proper re-ups. Chase the ring for a second year. Amazing time to be a Bucks fan.

Is there an international prospect declaration list anywhere? Any sense of who will come over right away or who is under contract and likely to be a 'stash'?

Kevin Porter plays Bud Ball

[Ruzious]

I'm leaning toward picking Killian Tillie. Thought he was a bit under-used in his career and his injury obviously hurt, but he made 47% of his 3's for his college career, and he's decent on defense and rebounding - and passes well. It looked like he added some needed bulk when he came back late in the season, and I got the feeling he wasn't 100% healthy - so maybe we haven't seen the best he can be. I see a lot of similarities to Ersan.

Sekou and Bitadze should be lottery guys. Sirvydis is interesting because he brings a lot of desired skills without being ready for the physicality of the NBA. He'd be a prime stash candidate but he might want to come over immediately.

[Ron Swanson]

Give me one of Sirvydis or Obiesie. Stash em for 1-2 years in Europe in order to leave that last roster spot open for a ring-chasing vet. Win-win.
