Not sure what to make of this guy for us. The upside for him if he gets consistency w/ shot and handle is huge but then I remember how disappointing somoneone like Demi Avija has been. He could be a better version of Isaac?

I see Nicolas Batum.

Fair comp as noted by the Dre. Worth taking a flier on potentially especially if NBL is still going on and he continues to show consistency.

I can't see how this kid falls out of top 7 despite most projections having him in 8-12 range. I think Adam is a bit harsh on his passing. Prior to this season passing and putting ball on floor wasn't even an option but he improved so much. I could see a lineup of him, IQ, Rj, Toppin and Mitch. Wouldn't win more than 25-30 games but itd be pretty fun to watch.

I'd package Reddish/Grimes + our pick + taking on a poor contract for this guy.

Wow that's quite a climb. Just means another player would be up for dropping to the Knicks!

Or, the player we really really want/need will be one spot higher and we will regret it for 20 more years.
After all, If DOnnie Walsh never stated he wanted Steph Curry we could have gotten him! Then, after a few years of frustration over his ankles and questioned his durability we'd have thrown him in the Melo trade to Denver.
But, we could have kept Mosgov!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

After all, popular fans parroting think that Golden State like a child only wanted Curry because we did. Thats a favorite fable.
But, imagaine that Thabeet, Tyreke Evans, Johnny Flynn and Rubio went before Curry!!!! And those teams did not want to trade down!
We passed on Derozen but lets be real, we'd have hated Derozen too.
We hate all our picks until we feel they were done wrong?

This guy would've been a lottery pick 10 years ago. I'm not sure he even sniffs the first round nowadays.

My bet is he is a good nba basketball player. A steal of a second rounder whoever pulls the lever.

His length and build reminds me of giannis entering the draft

Size, build, fluidity reminds me of tmac.

He has a fluidity and feel for the game that eh doesn’t have. The agileness and intensity are what we need. Trade back to nab him. He’s more exciting than other guys ahead of him

Kids a project and I'm not sure what position he lands at, but worth a look in the second round.
