Looks like an active 6'10" shot-blocker/run the floor type...No idea. We'll see..
If the plan was to buy a 2nd round big, I would've preferred 6'11" 240 Stanford PF Dwight Powell. Really like that kid's face up game...I wonder if this kid was on Phil's board late...I think the Bobcats got a player in Powell at 45. |

French dude probably isn't expected to come this season anyway. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Important point regarding this pick:
This was probably a pick to stash an euro player like many teams did in the Second Round. Point is, you have to draft him to have his rights, so this is probably a guy starting to break out that we will stash for a while. Nice. Knicks_Fan

Funny write up by Nick Prevenas of nbadraft.net on Labeyrie --
"Louis Labeyrie is a rail-thin 6-ft-10 forward who will likely never play a minute in the NBA. He doesn't possess the athleticism or the skill level and he's already 22 years old. It's OK. There are only 450 NBA roster spots. He'll be able to tell his friends and family he was drafted No. 57. That's pretty good!" ROFL! |

I'm sure this level of comp wasn't much to judge but it's something to add to the scouting. |

Gotta love players with Afros. The Afro is a lost part of the game, as they:
intimidate - they make you seem bigger than you are, 4" or so. See Fletch below. block passing view Can be used as a semi weapon when close up The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

I think we give him to the bulls in exchange of their Euro in case Melo decides he wants to go to Chi.

Sounds like Phil picked an 'asset' to include in a trade. Once he is moved I am sure his greatness will be immortalized.

This pick was more about STASHING talent because of the limited roster spots we had
I would have preferred Bachnsaski and/or a PG DeAndre Kane Semaj Christon Not sure if Doren Wright was in the draft or pulled out Also for our first pick, Spencer Dwinwiddie would have been a great fit even though he is still recovering from his ACL injury Also would have liked to get Dwight Powell as well somehow to go with Backnaski |
