    Sounds like the perfect stretch 4.

    We're building a trend here with drafting seniors. Did he graduate too? Dame/CJ/Patty, etc all graduated.

    Like....willing defender

    No like...feet in unnatural position on shot. Will hinder pump fakes and better chance of shot blocked

    His post up game for a SF intrigues me. Haven't seen that from a wingman since Wesley.

    Gotta toot my own horn. I was just about the only person to mention Layman as a possibility in the "2nd round possibilities" thread.

    I love Harkless but this draft pick could be a hedge for him possibly leaving in free agency. Hope I am wrong.

    Anyone have a good link or two to see what he is all about? Found a couple things, but not real in game stuff or not recent.

    Thanks in advance

    Absolutely. But so was Chandler Parsons when he was drafted in the 2nd. And by hedge I don't mean he takes over Harkless' minutes if he leaves.

    Well, he's white.

    Not sure of those comparisons. Both of those guys are decent creators off the bounce--- Hayward especially.

    A guy I think he compares favorably to is Victor Claver. Or maybe even a skinnier Sullinger.

    Seems like more of a Meyers replacement to me. I compare him to John Leuer.
