I enjoyed the clip, but it's just him practicing against an overmatched defender who had no chance of stopping him. Let's see if he can replicate that success against the Dray Green types.

Free Throw line.

The only concern I have right now with Avdija as top5 pick is the fact that he cant finish with left hand. Even this video confirms it.

Watch on YouTube

He finishes with left when called for :15 and :32. Zion was way more left hand dominant in college than what Avdija has shown. Obviously Zion is more athletic, but Deni is more skilled.

The negativity being thrown at all the presumed top draft picks is sure discouraging.

The one at :32 still kinda blows my mind. Not many players finish that with a dunk.

Always said that Giannis-type ability would move him up to No. 1 to play alongside Towns. These are the types of moves I'm talking about. Some people have brought up the Philadelphia Phailure, but remember that Towns moves better than Horford and Wiseman moves better than Embiid.

Thing is anything we hear about who we like or might draft right now is going to be a smokescreen. We shouldn't believe anything.
That was an NBA level Crossover. Very impressive.

I'm not even talking about rumors and such. I'm talking about what I needed to see from him in order to think there's a chance the team would stretch the....wait for it....archetype.

OMG. I never want to hear that word again. I think Wiseman is good and he fits our needs.

Is that recent video?

It's staring us right in the face, you guys.....

Wiseman has drawn comparisons to tons of current and former NBA players, but he has his own player that he tries to play like.

The five-star Memphis commit is known as 'The Big Ticket,' and ironically enough he models his game after the original player given that nickname: Kevin Garnett. The former NBA MVP came to the association straight out of high school in 1995 and played in the league for 21 years, and Wiseman said he sees some similarities in their games.

One thing that Garnett was known for that Wiseman is not is his trash talking. Wiseman said he loved the way KG played including his trash talk, but he added that he simply chooses not to use that aspect in his play. Instead of trash talking, Wiseman said he just takes over the game with his abilities.

"Who I model my game after is Kevin Garnett. He's athletic at 7-foot, can shoot at 15 feet out, can dribble, do everything, and he's a versatile big man," Wiseman said. "When the moments right, I just go out there and play hard and take over the game and do whatever my team wants me to do.

Posted today. Could have been taken a long time ago, but probably recent. Can we contact the potential picks or is there a rule prohibiting that right now?

The pick has to be Wiseman.

There are no stand out centres in next year's draft.

He has more than enough tools to make it.

Too bad Wiseman has NOT posted anything about wanting to be on the wolves like Edwards.

Neeva · Post #1977 » by **Neeva** » Sat Aug 29, 2020 3:07 am

I’d happily take Wiseman number one, but Edwards and Jalen Green( if Rosas trades down to number 2 and gets the 2021 pick back) sounds great to me as well! have a really good feeling that lotto luck will be stayig with the wolves for a while.

I could live with that.

If we go Wiseman, I hope we can pick Maxey with 17, if he's there. I'd love that draft.

If not, take Edwards and go BPA..

Still would rather us trade for a 3rd star, Rosas probably thinking the same thing

Jesus, you people are easy to please.

"OMFG he just did a CROSSOVER! You see that?! He's totally Giannis! Hall of Fame confirmed, no doubts! And...he even likes KG? The stars have aligned! It's fate! TAKE WISEMAN!"

This is going to be a long couple of months...
