I'm pretty sure everyone on here remembers Kaminsky especially with all the latest rumors of Phil maybe taking him at #4. We know what he can do for a big man and what he can't do. I'm a fan but as i've been saying I would rather we trade down a few spots and get another asset and take him at 7 or 8. He fits the trianglegreat with what he does on the offensive side of the ball.

Does not show anything different that we didn't already know, IMO. There were also other prospects there, so it was not all Kaminsky.

Would have liked to see some defensive drills to look at his footwork, or some different moves in the post. I have no doubts about his offensive game, but would like to see the other things he can do, especially since it's been documented that he's working hard to maximize his athletic ability.

Might have a little more definition in his arms, but it doesn't look like he's trying to put on any weight at this time. Still showing the smooth J, maybe his release is quicker, but that's a bit hard for me to actually tell.

I'm someone who has no issue with him going at 4 if Phil believes he is worth it, but you can probably get him a couple of picks later if you trade down- so this would be the way to go, especially if that 6/7 for 4 rumor has any truth to it.

I was assuming Russell was taken.

Don't think he will take Mudiay, IMO, but could see Winslow.

You'll get offers if Porzingis is still at 4, and if Phil does not want him he has to trade out, especially if we still get a high pick in return.

WOW!

Sounds like Jackson likes him.

Classic fake "injury shutdown," IMO.

Supposedly he does not want to go to Philly, and Givony is saying that Hinkie would have trouble trading him without a physical.

Thats funny because on his twitter he said he was shooting that night.

I can see Phil picking any one of them and find a good reason (or more) why his decision is a good one. None of them are a lock to have an impact the way the consensus top 3 are projected to IMO. I can see why Phil would consider trading the pick. Wouldn't be too hard to screw this pick up given the choices. I hope he makes the pick anyway unless its an amazing deal.

I like Kaminsky BUT I DO NOT want him at 4. The whole time I said I wanted Kaminsky was tied to trading down where we get a multi laden asset deal. The ONLY player IMHO that you can take at 4 is Porzingis OR Hezonja. EVERY other player after that could be at 4 or could be at 9. We have the shtty spot but we must play the right game. Draft Porzingis as best long term prospect--a team will pay up BIG for him but we must be willing to

A. Actually play a hard game of chicken to the point where we take him at 4.

B Be head fast in what we want and stay with it in a position of power

C Be willing to say hey we have a great piece here if I dont get my price Im shaping him into my 5 for the next 15-18 years.

Hey Walt--Kaminsky has been working on his athletic mobility for 8 weeks now. I think he was already a quality defender--even Jay Bilas said it. You start adding in 4-5 inches in vertical increased explosion and lateral quickness--and you know he will continue the same standard of improvement --he should continue to get better and better. Kaminsky is ALREADY good to great at ALL skills at 7-1. hes a bal;lhandler hes a shot blocker hes a passer hes a shooter hes a post player hes a good teammate hes a winner???? He fits the triangle hes tyhe closest thing to a young Pau Gasol that is available --I think Porzingis is much more of a hybrid pure 5--meaning I like Franks MOBILE 4/5 ability MORE than Porzingis(whos ultimate bread and butter is a post 5. Porzingis doesnt move as well as Frank at the 4 position he doenst handle the ball as well and hes no passer. Porzingis is a 5 man. Frank more versatile.
