What about the combine shows that he isn't one dimensional? He doesn't create for others and rarely creates for himself. He could easily be better than Martell, but their games are the same.
The combine, for me, showed that he is a lot more athletic than originally thought. Again, for me, that shows that he will have enough athleticism to create his own shot. Might be one of those NC kids that are better in the pros than at NC
It also could be that he measures and plays differently. Roy was athletic, but didn't necessarily use his athleticism as a tool. Barnes could be the same, since he never showed that ability at UNC. I am ok with him at 6, said so previously. I just find it slightly amusing that once he was able to run and jump well, you began liking him, though he did nothing to answer your initial fears of him. Just that now he has a number at the combine better than others.
Davis & Rivers draft for New Orleans would be a great draft for them IMO.... I like Rivers a lot and think he is going to be a good pro....
Drummond seems to comp fairly well with Deandre Jordon doesn't he? Both 6'9.75" barefoot. Both have 7'6" wingspan. Drummond is a bit heavier, with a shorter standing reach. Jordan is faster in the 3/4, but slower in agility. Jordan was a slightly better rebounder as a freshman, but slighly worse shot blocker. Both are horrendous free throw shooters.
Glad they are looking at all these guys. I still hope they secure another first rounder and get Moultrie. He seems like a good guy to have on the team, and has a nice mix of solid numbers now, with some upside potential.
Good rebounder with good range. Has a similar game to LA I feel like, but could potentially play C. I reallllllyy like him if we had another pick from 12-18.
I'd rather go with Andrew Nicholson if we had another pick in that range. Money post moves and a wet jumper don't come naturally for bigs like it does for Nicholson.
Oh I'd be happy with either really. If we were able to land either Nicholson or Moultrie I would be completely fine with letting Hickson go and featuring them as a big man off the bench.
I like this idea. Instead of using a lotto pick on Moultrie, you can get Nicholson in the late first round. Now, getting a late first rounder with our lack of assets will be tough...
