Event 2018 NBA Draft

....maybe on the offensive end.

 

I thought Trent underwhelmed this year, but for 2 second rounders what the heck. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

I have to say I’m looking forward to Summer League!

 

Ed Davis is a center though? Haha.

 

Trent might be better pro than a college player. He can shoot the 3 ball so he fits Stotts offense perfect.

 

We better resign Nurk even if he gets offered the MAX now.

 

The draft would be much better if all the picks were second-round-speed.

 

If Simons gets any minutes at all this year it means our season is in the crapper.

 

Gary Trent Draft Express: STRENGTHS -Has good size for the wing at 6'6 in shoes, with a strong 215 pound frame. 6'8 ½ wingspan is adequate, even to guard some small forwards -Has impressive scoring instincts. Knows how to put the ball in the basket. Hungry for points. Alpha dog mentality -Physical and aggressive player. Will crash the glass -Shot-maker who can get hot and hit a barrage of 3s both spotting up and off the dribble, even from NBA range -Can find success at times in the open floor and on straight-line drives -Can move his feet and stay in front when he's locked in and competing. Aggressive playing the passing lanes and has good instincts for coming up with steals

WEAKNESSES -Average athlete in terms of quickness and explosiveness -More of a shot-maker than a pure shooter. Very streaky, partially due to his poor shot-selection. Career 33.5% 3P% on over 450 attempts in DX database -Doesn't have much wiggle to his game. Wants to bulldoze his way through opponents. Relies heavily on his strength. Needs to add polish as a ball-handler. Ball slows him down. Wants to pull-up off the bounce at the first glimmer of daylight. -Reluctant passer. Never met a shot he didn't like. -Insistence on shooting long 2s, and below the rim style inside the paint makes him fairly inefficient scoring inside the arc -Inconsistent in his approach defensively. Doesn't always put enough pride in on this end of the floor. Doesn't have standout lateral quickness, so will get roasted at times off the bounce. Likes to gamble for steals - Source: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Gary-Trent-82914/ ©DraftExpress

Not good.

 

And of course the Rockets get Melton.

 

Lol.

 

I DID NOT LIKE THIS DRAFT.

 

Horrible.

 

And you base that on what? I’ll reserve my judgement until I see him play.

But I don’t think he’s going to be expected to play, similar to Zach last season.

 

Have you checked his stats; he is not a good shooter. Thomas shoots better from three and much better from two.

Is that the scouting report on Sr or Jr...?

 

This is more deserving of it than that game was.
