I voted other. Use advanced memory erasing technology on every other GM in the league and pick him up after he goes undrafted.
Draft him. Skinny kid running and jumping like this with a bigass knee brace on. He should just wear two all the time. I mean at home and out getting dinner.
He won't fall to 26 simply because someone else will take a chance before. Everyone expected Maker to fall very low last year when there were doubts over his age, not a chance, he was still a lotto pick because a team liked him despite all doubts. Same will happen with Giles. He was a consensus top 3 pick a year ago.
Why limit ourselves to a skinny dude with bad knees. There are others that can play 82 game NBA seasons.
I don't know shit about college players, but with #26, I'd make the high risk high reward pick. Because you're actually not risking a lot
There are very few players that have the array of skills that Giles has. Sadly, his body is likely to betray him again as he plays more games against stronger, heavier competition. That said, I think he is worth a shot at #26 if somehow he is still there. Do your due diligence of course and draft accordingly at #15 and #20. Maybe you get a shooting star like Roy for a few years with a short career but I'll take that over a long NBA career of a pedestrian nature.
Randy Foye is still playing. I'd kill to have his career but I don't want to draft another guy who just keeps playing and never does anything special.
That's a hard one. Giles is a talented player with great potential. Such a High reward guy. But those damned knees and his skinny frame give me great pause. The probability that he can stay healthy is low. But, watching highlights of this guy, holy hell. He swats basketballs like flies. And dunks with such dominance. But, can he do those things as effectively against NBA caliber bigs, I'm not so sure. It's a high, very high risk. I think it will come down to who is left by the time it gets to the 26th pick, whether the Blazers are trading their earlier ones or not, and on whether Olshey is willing to take the risk. Maybe it's worth taking
sounds like the drama has ended and we will see another talent drop to offer us another opportunity. another dilemma and for another thread!
yeah i just saw that on their scroll. That would push one more player on all the other mocks down to to us!
