    I was counting on both Shae and Scoot to be strong finishers. Halli & Brun both dribble to much for the blazer fandom. We have one now in Simons.....

    You would think Coward is only coming out if he has a promise to go in the first round
    Not bad for a kid who started his college career here in Oregon at Willamette University

    First round? I'm likely to be bummed if he slips past #11

    That site is never particularly accurate, though...

    Yeah, Nbadraftroom is my go-to

    Dropping him that far seems a bit dramatic

    Becoming more and more intrigued by Nolan (not Noa) Traore. I think people forgot about him because he had a rough start of the year in the French Pro League, but here's him these days:



    Would we use the pick on a guard? Maybe if we were planning to trade Anfernee. And he fits the model of somebody with a super-high ceiling.

    A non point guard who's barely six feet? And who hasn't inherited his dad's athleticism?

    That film was better than the last time I watched his game. He has improved...

    I don't like his dribble. Feel like he keeps it too high & it's a bit loose. Also his base/footwork on his jumper needs a lot of work

    Thoughts on Thomas Sorber? Because this sounds pretty intriguing:

    I can’t stand bigs that don’t pack it when they get the ball at the rim.

    Throw it down, big man

    Huh. One of my (cult) faves is Luis Scola and I'm not even sure if he could dunk.

    well yeah and exceptional length and being tall are different things too. But jumping higher then others is hints at an overall ability to be quicker & run faster then other players which are advantageous qualities. Combine a few of these qualities with skills and a love for the game/competition & you may find a guy for the rotation. MJ is generally thought of as the GOAT and he just so happens to also be the guy who is thought to jump the highest of any player in the history of the game.

    Ironically it was The Goat who could jump higher.

    He can shoot, makes quick reads and makes winning plays - Mr. Intangibles.

    I view him as a 6’1” Josh Hart type. He’s one of the more underrated prospects in the entire draft.
