2019 NBA Draft Thread

------> Brandon.

Clarke. <------

​

 

He’s adjusting to top flight basketball this season as he was previously in the French second division. It’s totally normal though for a teenager playing against grown men. He’s gotten better as the season has gone on and by the time June rolls around should be in the top 10, maybe top 5. His skillset is too intriguing. He’s been compared to guys like Lamar Odom (because of his ballhandling) and Paul George (for his defensive versatility.) Personally I don’t think there’s any one player he compares to, but he’s a legit two way talent and a potential star. If Portland got him it would be franchise altering. That’s how high I am on him and how much he’d fit.

Edit: here’s a comp; an assertive, alpha version of Batum.

 

Meh. I feel like this board always falls in love with a certain type of multi-year college player. DeAndre Hunter and Robert Williams are two examples.

 

What about him? Haha.

 

Cant wait for the complaints when we draft somebody like that and hes not a star in his 2nd season.

 

Also, NBADraft.nets mock drafts suck until April/May.

 

Actually most mocks suck until right before the draft

 

Even though they have your boy going 4th right now? That's by far the highest I've seen him.

 

Yeah he's not gonna go that high.

 

Not as bad as theirs though.

 

2nd season? That’s a weird way of saying first summer league.

 

Just all the people complaining about Zach not developing fast enough even though he wasn't supposed to be ready to play his rookie year and he was supposed to be a 4-year project. Any lottery pick we get, people will complain about them not developing fast enough.

 

Here's an article posted the other day a'boot Brandon Clarke:

His leap has been super impressive.

 

Mark Few affect.

 

Gonzaga has by far the best frontcourt in the nation. Hachimura, Clarke, and Tillie.

Theyve been playing without Tillie who was a better player then Hachimura last season. If they had him all season, they would've entered the tournament undefeated.

 

Clarke reminds me a lot of Jordan Bell. I wonder if Oregon fans will beg for Clarke like they did for Bell?

 

Yeah I know what you meant, check the edited version of my post lol.

 

Well, he is gonna be worth about a billion in jersey sales.

 

Rather have either over biggie. I mean I respect what swanigan did and his story is awesome. Im just not sure he’s an nba player. I think Clarke and Bell are.

 

You know what funny is I hated the pick. I got blasted for saying all the things everyone else is saying now. Hell, I got ranted at because I said I didnt think Swanigan was any better than a 32% 3pt shooter.

Now everyones come around the the same conclusion. I wish he could shoot 32%. I was so disappointed in that pick.
