There's a player for Xavier, he's maybe 7 feet tall, he blocks shots, he defends guards, he makes 3s. Who is this player? I want this player.
OK, I should have checked before posting. These are 2 different players, the guy who made the block is Jaylen Reynolds, the guy that defends guards and makes 3s is James Farr.
Why isn't anyone scouting the tournament? Do u not know we have a 1st round pick? What are you waiting for? DraftExpress videos? I'll give you another player - James Miliken from Creighton.
Measurements are good, he should stay another couple seasons in college though to bulk up, he's gonna have to be a 4 in the NBA.
Karnowski should be a first rounder. Space eater with soft touch who is a legit 7 ft 300lbs and is a helluva passer out of the post. Sign me up.
Honestly since whoever we draft probably won't play, I think the best strategy would be to just take the highest upside/most athletic guy and just develop him. A Rudy gobert type.
I think we have enough raw young talen we are in the midst of developing right now...at least one player in every position. Lillard is still learning the game, as good as he is, his continued maturity should help his turnovers, assists and decision making over the next three years. Meyers and McCullom are still developing. Crabbe is still learning. Freeland has room to improve. I would rather see us take this pick and use it as a trade, or pick and trade on the day of. Id like to see one more solid vet on our bench that hopefully has championship experience...Like a Ray Allen or a Teyshan Prince type. Someone that knows their role is now to keep the championship mindset consistent. I think the ups and downs this season...obviously injuries played a part, but giving up leads...this s a sign of mental lapse and not really playing consistent, championship caliber ball. We need that locker room champ who can keep our eyes on the prize, because he knows exactly where it is. He has been there. Im not talking a Dorell Wright who rode the bench for the most part on a championship team, I am talking about a guy who was a true contributer to winning a ring. Maybe even a Haslem? I think he is free this summer? Anyhow, I dont see us drafting anyone who can come in and make an immediate impact and we have enough developing players. We are in a win now mode and I would like to see yet one more addition in the off season. The last two off seasons have proved to be perfect decision making by Olshey. one more and we might see is in the finals a few times over the next 5 years or so.
I've been thoroughly impressed with Frank the Tank Kaminsky. He was supposed to be exposed against Kentucky because their bigs were supposedly in another league athletically. What actually happened was he was the best player on the floor. He defended without getting in foul trouble, he kept them off the glass, he scored in different spots all over the floor. Plus he can pass and handle the ball well for a big guy. Yet nbadraft.net has him projected to go #17, behind the 3 bigs from UK that he just crushed. I expected him to be shut down by the UK front line, but he made me a believer. He's not going to make All Star games, but he looks like a solid Brad Miller type. I'd love to have that guy.
Christian Wood declared for the draft. He's a realistic target at #23. Hernangomez is leaning towards waiting for NEXT years draft. If that's the case, Robert Upshaw and Timothe Luwawu shoot up my draft board. But I hope Hernangomez changes his mind. Our best option though might be trying to steal Jokic (not Nurkic, duh) out of Denver.
Sleeper who unexpectedly declared: He'll end up in the late-lotto or mid-first. He'd be a player you would want to trade up for.
