Draft Prospects Discussion

Yabusele had -according to Dawson-fine workout.
He is 6'8" 260 pound. Can shoot a 3's.

It is good that Ferry is at the workout.

I hope Ferry goes to EVERY workout.

Man, these guys have been coached up on their interviews well. Not to say they don't mean what they are saying, but I am very impressed with their responses.

Jamal Murray hit 79 of 100 3’s in Boston last week. Buddy Hield, per source, hit 85 of 100 in front of Celtics brass today in California.

Ten more days. Just ten more days...

Is Hield going to be better than Beal?

What are y'alls thoughts on the the following Euro wings?

Isaia Cordinier
Rade Zagorac
Paul Zipser

I'm a pretty big fan of all of them, but I think Zagorac is my favorite. Cordinier probably has the highest ceiling. Zipser might be the most ready.

I think I prefer Zipser because his shooting is more consistent than Zagorac's, but a strong argument for both of them can be made given Zagorac's age. Regarding Cordinier, I'm not a fan. I like that he knows how to play effectively off the ball (quality really important in move the ball system like ours) but he's not a really good shooter. he's still very young but I don't see him becoming a good role player in the NBA.

I freaking love dejounte Murray. He's a Jamal Crawford clone but with good defense.

Zipser is the truth

I read a lot of mock drafts and recently this article: http://hoopshype.com/2016/05/30/1999...uld-have-been/ And I was thinking: It's so obvious, to anyone who knows at least a little of Eurobasket, players like: Korkmaz, Hernangomez, Zizic, Yabusele, Zagorac, Papagiannis, Arapovic, Guduric will be very good or maybe great NBA's players. It's like when NBA's teams took Marc Gasol at #43 and Manu Ginobili at #57.

According to mocks and articles about 30-40 players every year will be good/great NBA players...

prospects and their unknown future

not saying that they might not be great players :)
Add to this list Luwawu

Check out most mock drafts and they have Marquese Chriss in their top 5. Is he really going that high, or are these mock drafts just reaching? I am unfamiliar with his game, so preach on.

Chriss is just shooting up draft boards lately

Bold prediction: Deyonta Davis has a better career than Chriss. If Pels trade down, that's the guy I want

I'm pretty sold on the following draft:

#6 Buddy Hield
#39 Pascal Siakam
#40 Wayne Selden

Honorable mentions: 1st Rnd: Jamal Murray, Marquese Chriss. 2nd Rnd: AJ Hammonds, Thon Maker, Gary Payton II, Patrick McCaw, Isaia Cordiner and Ben Bentil

Really intrigued with these 2nd round picks. I feel like we should get one solid role player/specialist there who'll make the rotation.

I watched a lot of Valentine so I also saw a good bit of Davis too. Davis was looking better and better towards the end of the season. I would not be disappointed with Davis/Valentine, Davis/Luwawu or Davis/Prince if we trade back.

Davis/Prince would be a nice little draft if we trade back too. Could build a monster defensive front court

Why is Chriss shooting up the boards? He is a pf, so it's not like we need him, but is the pf market that bad that he is considered a top prospect?

Side note: UW has been pumping out some wild talent since Romar took over.

I like Prince. I see a lot of Josh Howard in him. He would be my pick if we were to somehow secure a mid first.

Deyonta Davis. Just watched a little bit of him and he's quite a glass eater.

10 minute film on Dragan Bender
Not a scouting video, but still nice watching.

MM what's your take on Ben Bentil? It's killing me why this dude is being overlooked.

Marquis Criss is growing on me been watching highlights and game tape I can see why he's moving up .
