After Kennedy Chandler, Very intrigued by Jalen Williams out of Santa Clara. 6’5 wing with a 7’2 wingspan. Skilled and plays with a nice pace.

I haven't followed him. How's his defense? A plus wingspan like that gives you hope but his defensive metrics don't jump out at you.

Anyone know anything about David Roddy?

6'6" and 261lbs (!!!). 6'11.5" wingspan. Averaged 19.2ppg, 7.5rpg, 2.9apg, 1.1bpg, 1.2spg in 32.9mpg on 57.1%fg, 43.8% 3FG (1.5 / 3.4) and 69.1%ft (3.4/4.9).

He's 21yrs old and played for Colorado State. On paper looks like he would fit well at the 4 for how we run things. Clearly needs to get in shape, but what better organisation than ours for that.

I'm Sold. Love his game. Reminds me a lil bit of Cade Cunningham.

oh you better believe Jalen Williams is special as is Notae. We would be lucky to grab either. Jalen has been the #1 bullseye for a while now.

As someone who has never heard of Diabate, those clips gave me some rookie Garnett vibes.

Kid looks like a real sleeper. He might be climbing up the draft boards. Some real deep value in this draft.

Diabate and Justin Lewis are by far my fave two prospects we have worked out.

First exposure to Diabete. Looks an interesting prospect. Like that he’s already showing flashes of an outside game too.

Clearly with the Juwan Howard connection, we’d have a clear insight into this kids NBA credentials.

Lewis looks the goods. I’d be happy either taking him at #27 or trading back into the second to get him and another assets.

Looks like the jump shot is legit albeit the footwork and form could use some Rob Fodor correction. He’s long and appears to have good timing in altering and blocking shots, and getting into the passing lanes.

Offensively, the handle seems like what he needs to work on the most. Pretty rudimentary level of ball skills, offense is mostly spot up J’s or spin moves in the paint. Can finish on the left which is nice. At 20yrs old and 6’7” at a man child 245lbs, there’s plenty to work with here.

Doesn’t hurt we’ve had a huge amount of success with Marquette players…

Surprised Diabetes is staying in the draft. Freshman. No significant draft hype. Seems like a prime candidate to go back to school.

This one is where we might be doing Juwan a solid. Or he might be giving as insider scoop on this kid.

He’d stay in if he had a promise that he was going to be picked, possibly on guaranteed money. Even if he goes undrafted, perhaps we’re in his ear for a 2-way or “Heat special” contract of 3yrs with the 3rd year being a team option.

Here's some more info on him:

https://michigan.rivals.com/news/moussa-diabate-impresses-with-nba-combine-results

Best athlete of the combine centers. It's visible on tape too. Watching him move.

He was the 26th rated prospect in his class. A 5 star prospect.

He’s going to climb up the draft boards with the way he’s testing. He played High School basketball in Florida at Florida Prep in Melbourne. Also spent some time at IMG in Sarasota.

Koloko did almost as well with the agility drills. Surprised that Kamagate didn't test. Feel like he would have done well.
