    If Dejuan Blair can play defense at PF being only 6'6 then I don't see a problem with Sabonis doing it.

    Those are camp measurements. Notoriously inaccurate.

    But he does lack length.

    He's in a major slump but Meyers can shoot the three. In two years at Illinois: 1-12 from three.

    Sabas has good form. He'll add range.

    I wonder why they have such a hard time measuring guys. That Pat Connoughton 44" vertical was BS.

    I remember hearing that there is a way to game the vertical leap measurement a bit, and that his vertical is more like 40'-41'', which is still pretty damn good. I think vertical leap measurements are overrated though. Having a sick vertical doesn't help you move your feet on defense.

    Cody Zeller is another example.

    Camp: 6'8" wingspan
    Combine: 6'11" wingspan

    I still think it's a mistake not to take him.

    Main achievements of his are defense. Sabonis become anchor of Gonzaga's defence.
    Also his carrier (ORtg - DRtg) = (127 - 92) = 35 rating particular.

    p.s carrier TRB% 19.2, in current season it converts to (14.6rb/40min). And he's athletic and strong enough.

    Maintaining his production nicely:

    18.1 ppg | 10.7 rpg | 65 fg % | 69 ts% | 31.4 PER | 26.4 drb% (<--- Kevin Love territory)

    I want to believe, but I look at him and I think of a Lithuanian Joel Freeland.

    Joel Freeland could jump.

    I think Lituanian Zach Randolph might be a fair (and not uncomplimentary) comparison.

    Luis Scola comes to mind.

    I watched the BYU -Gonzaga game and thought to myself....why the fuck do we have a thread about Sabonis and not the kid from Jesuit? (Wiltjer) I will take his 35 pts /10 rebounds over the 5 pts and 6 rebounds I saw from Sabonis. Joking aside, neither is a lotto pick.

    You see a lot more offensive potential in Domantas' game that I envision.

    In possibly his final game with the Zags:

    19 pts | 17 rebs | 5 blks | 67 fg% | @ Elite Eight

    How DX doesn't have him in the top-10 is asinine. Sabonis doesn't have elite size but his feel for the game is unmatched in this draft - like Draymond Green was in his draft.
