2016 NBA Draft mega thread

lacks toughness and intensity; would find out if it is just lack of confidence or something deeper.

 

He's the age of a HS senior.

I think he should withdraw his name and enter in two years. His size and finishing ability he could be a steal.

 

Yi was a better prospect at the same age than Qi.

Yi had a great combo of size and athleticism but didn't have the NBA talent.

I see the exact same thing with Qi. He's a clone of Martynas Andriuskevicius.

 

I wanna say this name is fake lol

 

Let's make a bet...

If It's not made up you have to change your handle to Mrs. BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94.

George Papagiannis ... G-Papa!

Yep, that sounds about right.

 

Georgio is now 275 lbs. - keep in mind that he's only 18:

"Papagiannis has already shown himself to be capable of competing in one of the tougher European leagues. Even in limited minutes, he has been able to impact the game with shot blocking and rebounding. In fact, his per 36 shot blocking numbers, 2.4 BLK per 36, is better than all but four teams’ per game average in the Greek league."

He should have accepted the Kansas offer. He'd go a lot higher in a year or two.

 

International Bugs like this dude always have a chance at becoming something big ala Marc Gasol, Rudy Gobert, etc.

 

As long as they aren't complete zeros athletically.

This guy is springy and mobile for his size.

 

Can never go wrong with big and athletic.

 

Unless your name is Stromile Swift

 

Or tyrus thomas.

 

If we drafted him, the Blazers could switch their promo from Papa Murphys to Papa Johns. They could give out pizza discounts if Papagiannis plays over 4:25 minutes in the game.

 

I mean as a late first early second round flyer

 

15/16 highlights - featuring the worst highlight music in the history of ever.

Size wise he's a lot like Roy Hibbert.

 

Good rim proctor he finish around the basket can shoot 15-18 feet out. Looks like he need to get stronger upper body. Didn't show his passing ability. The bigs right now that might go late 1st or 2nd round I would be interested is this guy and Maker and Hammonds all 7 footer with good wing span.

 

Even though he is only 18, he already has a better low-post game than Meyers because, well, he has a low-post game

 

I get the joke, but, it all seriousness, Meyers had the foundation of a decent low-post game when he was 18, 19. He had some shake, he battled for position, he used a jump hook, a fadeaway hook and a turnaround jumper down low playing in one of the more physical college leagues. The NBA is a different animal. How he was coached might have dictated the player he's become, too.

I was watching some video of Meyers at Illinois to see if I was remembering him accurately. You can see why he was a lottery pick ... really good hands, sometimes a great passer from the post. The thing that stood out for me was his shot blocking.

 

M

But he needs to play like that up here sometimes he play timid up here. You see he got the game but now it seems like the Stotts been playing him wrong.
