    Via RealGM newswire:

    From what I've read he's a hard nosed SF/PF in the mold of a Nocioni. Sounds like an interesting prospect you can draft-n-stash.

    Good second round prospect...providing we keep any of our second round picks.

    doesn't sound like stashing him is a possibility, so I doubt we draft him.

    Most mock drafts have him in the late 1st round. He'll unlikely last till our second round picks.

    I'd rather pickup a backup 4 during this draft.

    This doesn't exactly make me flush with anticipation:

    Color me lukewarm, but slightly interested.

    He's supposed to be super aggressive and love to run the floor though, the anti-Outlaw if you will.

    I'd love it if we were able to draft n stash both Casspi and Beabois this year while bringing over Freeland.

    Shooting form kind of sounds like Marion's.

    They have wonky form, but their release is quick. A slow and wonky release spells trouble in my mind, but who knows maybe it's something he can improve upon.
