2019 Draft Thread

[jakecronus8]

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.

How do cap holds work for euro stashes? Given where we'll be lux tax wise I can easily be talked into Samanic, Sirvydis and especially Obiesie.

No cap hold applies.

Edit: That's why late 2nd rounders get used on fringe NBA prospects as long as you can stash them. No downside besides a 'wasted' pick you can buy anyway.

Sekou Doumbouya
Goga Bitadze
Arturs Zagars
Deividas Sirvydis
Joshua Obiesie
Luka Samanic
Vanja Marinkovic (not declared)
Paul Eboua
Henri Drell
Yovel Zoosman
Marko Pecarski (not declared)
Adam Mokoka
Marcos Lousada Silva
Borisa Simanic
Nikita Mikhailovskii

My int'l big board as of now. Chuck, bizarro, tell me who else to Czech out.

Still really high on Vanja Markinkovic. I’m not seeing his name on many mocks and he’s on the older side but think he has a high likelihood of reaching his ceiling as a rotation guy. ALEN SMAILAGIC is really interesting too. Liked his footwork in the G-league playoffs against the Rockets/Vipers Hartenstein. Really young. Noteworthy and rare for a Euro to choose the G-league route the year before he’s draft eligible. Shows me he’s serious about becoming an NBA player.

Warriors hoping and praying that he falls to them in the 2nd round. This 2nd round is feeling super stacked right now, some of these dudes need to go back to school.

Ty Jerome (the Virginia point guard ESPN has mocked to us) seems like he’s be fun in the Herd floor general/Tim Frazier role.

Smailagic is really tough and aggressive, good hands, good feet. Probably has to shoot better but it's really easy to see him becoming a scoring bench big. Love to see young bigs who really mix it up. There's enough there to justify a pick at 30 imo.

Did Boljeng Buwsac declare? That guy is nuts.

[Chuck Diesel]

Think Bitadze will be long gone by the time we pick.

I would be surprised if he doesn't go in the lottery.

Where are my Leandro Bolmaro fans at?

Good feel/instincts with the ball, good lenth, promising shooter. Productive player for FC Barcelona at age 18.

^In Barcelona's 2nd team

[Buck Yeah]

While draft and stash certainly has its merits at 30, I would still go BPA. Try and grab the best asset and then let Horst shift and move the chips around as he and Bud see fit. There will always be opportunities for ring chasers as long as the Bucks are legit contenders.

My preference would be to go back to the Malcolm/Sterling well. Pick a Senior that dominated and has translatable skills. Play it safe. I haven't done much of any research yet, but I'm circling the name Dylan Windler for now. He ticks a lot of boxes for me. Distressed stock due to age and playing at a Mid-Major. DEADLY shooter. Put up extremely efficient numbers on super high volume. Excellent motor, BBIQ, and intangibles. Nice length at 6'8" with 6'11" wingspan.

Kevin Porter plays Bud Ball

He's got some big plusses and big minuses. Definitely an NBA body - reminds me of Jimmy Butler physically. But to play a wing position for the Bucks, you have to have the ability to hit 3's. He barely makes more than half of his foul shots. He's a boom or bust guy - might be worth it with the last pick in the 1st. Or do you play it safe with a low ceiling/high floor guy like Windler? Or choose door # 3.

I too am worried about him shooting 3's but his FT-routine is broken. He's a guy where trying to implicate shooting touch (or the lack thereoff) by relying on FT% doesn't work well. I like him at 30 but I don't realy see the boom or bust in him. From a prospect perspective alone he's a high floor medium ceiling kinda guy. There are some controversities out there and a lack of production, but he's got some NBA skills other players at that range don't have and those should translate.

It's both the low production and the off court issues that make me think he can very easily bust. But at 30, that's a reasonable risk to take.

The 'off the court issues' supposedly is just him smoking weed (at least that is what I heard). Make of that what you will.
