    I know this is going to go over like a lead balloon, but I really don't see much difference between Freeland and Davis - except for the fact that Freeland could hit a mid-range shot!

    I'm not high on Vonleh, but I also don't want to trade him - I'd definitely prefer to trade Davis/Alexander. Trading Vonleh at this point would be selling low.

    Freeland had way more girth and was able to set very solid picks. I don't know if we have had a better pick setter in the last decade. We know LMa sucked at it....

    Rebounding always translates and Sabonis was elite in this category:

    11.8 rpg | 14.8 per36 | 28.2 drb% | 20.7 trb%

    Not as good as Kenneth Faried, the NCAA rebounding leader since 1993, but he's in the same ballpark.

    The obvious question mark is where does he play - can he check PFs?

    Not feeling the Domantis pick . .
    He's not long enough, or athletic enough, to be top tier at the next level.

    We already have a short (length) player who goes at 100%, and rebounds decently, in Plumlee.

    but just like what was said about GPII, his dad is a hall of famer, when you have that coaching you up it will make a difference. Sabas sure as shit wasn't the most athletic dude when he finally came over here but boy did he make it work. things are gunna start coming together for him as he gets a little older and puts on some nba weight.

    As of today he has yet to even interview with a team.

    Some team is keeping him and his stock under wraps.

    Sabas and it's not close.

    GP2 would be a solid pickup if you can get him in the 30s.

    No. You were saying someone hasn't interviewed with anyone because their agent has kept them under wraps. I'm trying to figure out which of the two you are talking about.

    Sabonis.

    He has yet to take part in any draft process - the draft is only 24 days away.

    Indy isn't trading Sabonis so that takes care of that.

    I wish S2 would ban posting of articles from these websites that so obviously make up their own rumor stories.
