As doc mentioned, Nathan Knight was & is my find. Along with Nate Hinton & a few other potential gems who either went undrafted or were picked in the bottom dozen of R2.

Ha! Why is my name in caps? And interrobangs. Shoot: Read your own signature. It is implied in the obverse: If you get anything right, I should be credited.

:)

If you can get him on our team, doc, I'd be happy to give you credit for him!

(The caps represent me standing up at my keyboard & shouting. :) )

How soon will we add Nate Hinton to the list, I wonder?

It looks like both the Nates - Hinton and Knight - will be useful NBA players. It was a deep draft. Even the 60th pick - Sam Merrill - is looking good. So is Milwaukee's other 2nd rounder (45th pick) Jordan Nwora. Bucks fans are already insisting he should get more pt. Both excel at... shooting 3's.

Off their numbers & video of them, it seemed obvious to me that both Hinton & Knight were likely to be solid NBA players.

Especially in Knight's case, there were a few here who were certain -- from a few highlight videos -- that Knight didn't have that... je ne sais quoi which enables these posters to tell, almost at a glance, who will & won't be able to play.

Perhaps there is something to learn from this?

Jean says what? Knight is clearly just a good personal trainer away from being the next Bob McAdoo.

Why does he have to be the next Bob McAdoo? Why can't he be the first Bob McAdoo?
