Curious what the Greek take on Aleksej Pokuševski is.

We literaly have almost no takes on him, A2 division games are not broadcasted in TV and we are restricted to internet clips. Skill-wise he is an unicorn, the athleticism is the question mark. His numbers are great for his age, A2 is dominated by guys twice his age who spent their prime in A1. Almost none can jump, but it may have the highest pointed elbows/illegal screens per 40 in europe

Yup, he's a player I'd really like to hear about, because he's got some wow stats for a 7 footer - but I don't know how much of that is playing in a 2nd division league. Just turned 18 and very skinny but looks like he can fill out some.

Tyrell Terry for Stanford is a nice little player.

Sounds vaguely familiar. Can't quite put my finger on it.

The pick is now at #18. Probably hits it’s floor currently. It’s a really good pick if it stays there. When does Dipo return?

I doubt we even use this pick for ourselves. I imagine it will probably be used in a trade come the deadline or paired (after drafting a player) this summer to move that escalating Middleton contract.

Markus Howard is at least as good an NBA player as Trey Burke.

A couple more intriguing prospects: Devin Vassell at FSU and DJ Jeffries at Memphis.

But 2-3 inches shorter.

Is he? No way Trey Burke is six feet.

I think Howard would hit half his 3s if he played with Giannis.

Yeah would definitely be an intriguing pick. He would just need to be able to get over screens on defense on this team and he can pretty much get any shot he wants on offense. I think Bud's staff would get a lot out of him on defense. I think the Bucks should look at backup 4/5s or 2/3s too. Ersan won't be here forever, the Lopez twins aren't getting younger, and who knows what's going to happen with Pat and with Korver probably retiring. Maybe Dragan sticks with the Bucks? :dontknow:

Since this pick is 0-14 protected if it landed 17th or 18th it would be great.

Btw, can we buy a 2nd round pick and draft Neemias Queta? I'll buy a jersey, promise :lol:

Yes. Good 3 & D under the radar wings. Vassell kinda reminds me of Danny Green when he was at UNC.

You're aiming really low.

Kofi Cockburn. Cockburn 69 jerseys.... would be juvenile and epic.

Cassius Stanley is also like a DeRozan level athlete whose shooting has been much better than advertised, and he works his ass off on the court.

There's nobody I'm nuts about as a prospect for us yet but there's a group of guys with noticeable upside.

Ahaha true story. But I would buy a Queta's jersey because he would be the 1st portuguese NBA player

He's honestly a pretty interesting prospect, plays with a real edge and is a huge coordinated dude. I enjoyed watching him last year. Surprising passer. Kind of reminds of a poor man's Embiid. Haven't seen him yet this year but was looking for their game against BYU to see how he looked across from Yoeli Childs.
