This is what I’m worried about. Of course this draft has 2 tiers, and those tiers have a total of 7 players in them, and of course we have pick 8. Wish Daniel’s wouldn’t have killed the combine and suit up draft boards. He’s who I want and a much better fit than Mathurin.Originally Posted by MichaelMcNamara
I mean, I think it has 7 players. Mine are just different than the Pels (they have Mathurin, I have Sharpe)
That said, one of their 7 should be there and if not, they should have plenty of buyers trying to get to 8 for Sharpe or Duren
@mcnamara247
It will be easy to talk ourselves into Mathurin, especially with Willie as a coach. Guy won’t have anything given to him, so to earn minutes he will need to play D and keep moving on offense, a strength of his
He is a great fit with what this current team needs. I just don’t see ‘top 2 or 3 player on a contender’ and when you take a guy in the top 10, the second contract becomes an issue for role players, as I have documented many times in the past. But we can worry about that in five years
Sounds realistic. Now what are we going to speculate about for the next 3 weeks?!
Zions contract?
Zion staggered 2nd unit
Jose- Mathurin - Trey - Zion - Nance
I would be good with that, especially if Mathurin is only playing 12 minutes and is flying around 100mph. Trey’s ball handling gets better and let’s him attack close outs.
That is where I think the Pels can be dominant next year. Forget starters…the staggered units could just blow people out
I am so excited for some weird second unit lineups with Zion.
Jose
Trey
Zion
Nance
Jax
Jose
Kira

Zion
Nance

Daniels, Sochan, Dieng
Daniels should be the pick, even if Mathurin is there. Let alone if he is gone
Overall Daniels becomes the best basketball player eventually. I’d still pick Sochan for the juice he would bring every night. He’s diving for everything, selling out on every play, defending everyone, playing unselfishly, tertiary facilitating and finishing at the rim. Daniels does all those things as well and will be a better shooter and facilitator, but less hair on fire than I see with Sochan.
1a.Daniels
1b. Mathurin
If you want switchable defense, playmaking, or rebounding go Daniels.
If you want 3pt shooting, off-ball offense, potential 3 level scoring go Mathurin.
Can't go wrong with either IMO.
I lean towards Daniels. Should be able to defend 1-3 at a high level maybe 4s and 5s as he gets stronger.
Mathurin should be taken about 12. He's a one trick pony and a poor man's Klay
Crazy bad take and you should feel ashamed.
One trick pony? Sheesh.
He can score on all 3 levels (3 ball, Mid range, layup/dunks). Not only can he shoot the 3 but he's highly efficient in C&S, DHO's, and moving screens both right and left.
His off-ball offense is elite, both in terms of cutting to the bucket (over 60%) and in his feel for relocating to get open behind the arch.
His playmaking is okay for a 2guard. Rebounding is a plus. Handle needs work.
Defensive potential is there albeit he needs to focus more.
Funny how you're such a fan of Shapre, talk about one trick pony.
Dude was absolutely cheeks on defense in HIGHSCHOOL. He should have dominated those kids. He didn't.
Give me the young man who put up 30points in the tourney as the #1 scoring option over some highschool kid who didn't even perform at the combine.
Imagine if Sochan had gotten any coaching whatsoever on his shot at Baylor? Look at his shooting hand in this picture. It looks like a GUIDE HAND it is so sideways. What in the hell?
On what site? Because MyBookie won't allow a bet bigger than $25 on those odds. Still it's $25 to win $775. I just put my money down. But I want to put more down at those odds.
Thats ridiculous. Name the 11 better prospects.
Who says you can only have one account?
You have 8 MyBookie accts? That's commitment.Who says you can only have one account?
I still can't get over those odds. They have Sharpe as the favorite to go 8th overall. They have Paolo with better odds of going 8th than Mathurin. What is Vegas thinking or hearing that makes that make sense to them? Mathurin has always made the most sense at 8. He fits the culture, fits a need, is a top 10 talent and will likely be there at 8. I've always assumed he will be the pick.
Yes please
Jabari Smith (let a brotha dream)
Ben Mathurin
Dyson Daniels
Come out of this draft with any of those 3 and I'm happy as h3ll.
That?s just him over compensating trying to prop up his favorite while tearing down a favorite.
That's a nice list there. For me, my favorites are:
Dyson
Chet
Sochan
Duren
Dieng
M. Williams
I’d be content with Daniels or Mathurin if we remain at 8
I think that's the consensus for most of us here. Wouldn't Sochan or Murray either.
