what do you guys think about him? 7 foot looks athletic with a good head on his shoulders... if we can buy a 2nd round pick i would love to get him

In fact, I might even take him at 17. I think out of any player in the draft he has the ability to fit our biggest needs

I would take him with a 2nd rounder with the intention of developing him slow starting in the D league.

I may have been the first one here to mention him but the clip shows an agile 7 footer who can dunk and is exceedingly agile. Anything around showing his defensive prowess? He obviously has great athleticism and handle. he is also young and undisciplined and would be helped by having Amare in his face and Billups as his conscience.

We know very little about this guy. Does he rebound well? Is he an effective help defender? I wouldn't use the 17th pick on him, but I might take a chance in the 2nd round.

I agree. Too many past problems with Tyler. 2nd round or if we buy the #30 from Chicago.

Take Shumpert at 17, hopefully buy a late first rounder/eraly second rounder and I wouldn't mind taking a shot at him.

Past problems?

A highschool senior playing professional ball in Israel without his family has maturity issues. SURPRISING!

The "attitude" issues are pretty much a joke. The guy was young and naive. It happens. If anything playing in Japan will make him appreciate the NBA that much more.

I heard the same stuff about Jennings 2 years ago. The vague description of he has maturity issues. 19 yr olds with maturity issues is nothing new.

Klay Thompson got caught with weed 2 months ago. I dont see alot of stories mentioning about that.
