We all know that foreign players are scouted much better than in the past, and their level of ball has improved greatly over the years. He's been on the radar for a good period of time, now. Same body as Fox, and like Fox, he has those long arms * and quick feet. I think Fox will be a much better shooter down the road than some think...I would be happy with either of those guys at this point. I really want a taller, all-around PG. Both Fox and Frank are also noted as team first type players...and I always go for that. Last time we had a PG draft we ended up with f'n Jordan Hill...I want to come away with a quality PG this time. *Couple of folks have corrected me on this-indicating that Fox's wingspan was nothing like the French player's. Very surprised...Fox seemed to have long arms... Does not make me change my opinion of Fox. Very impressed with this guy...he's a gamer, and I expect Jackson will give him a long look.

I was actually shocked to see Fox's wingspan on DX listed between 6'4" and 6'6"... curious to see how accurate that 7'0" wingspan listed for Frank is. But, yeah, agreed otherwise - I'd be thrilled to come away from this draft with either guy. ¿ △ ?

Fox measured 6'6 while Frank supposedly has a 7' wingspan. If thats true it makes Frank's physical tools a notch higher. I wonder if they can get them both in for a workout.

Yeah, I agree, I was shocked, too. Fox's wingspan seemed a lot longer. Will be interesting to see if he goes to the combine... but a lot of the top lotto picks don't even bother with the combine anymore. ¿ △ ?

Just commented to someone else about Fox's wingspan...Seemed like he had pretty long arms in the games I saw. Still like Fox a lot, and will again say that I think his shooting will evolve. That would be a good workout to watch...unfortunately agents frequently keep that kind of thing from happening.

Sometimes it's about what you do with your arms and not their length.

WaltLongmire wrote:Fox is lightning quick. I mean the part you dont worry about with Fox being on an NBA level is that. He's not big. He's great on the ball. So was Jennings. I think Fox is about 6'2, maybe 6'3 with a 6'6 or maybe 6'7 wingspan. With that quickness he appears to be a very long player. Frank is 6'6 with a 7'0 wingspan. Essentially a taller Rondo. Vids of Frank make him look gangly because he is. I dont know if he's got Fox's quickness. The ultimate package is Fox's quickness with Frank's length. Then you start going into some rare company. I think any indication of that reality is premature for sure. We will hear plenty more when the workouts startfishmike wrote:WaltLongmire wrote:Fox looks to be fast and we already know he's a stud on defense.

And FWIW we shouldn't fool ourselves if we had the choice back then of Rubio and Steph we would have taken Rubio. That was pretty clear. We knew however that wasn't going to happen and only in view of that would we have "settled" for Steph if he fell to us, but alas. (5)(5)

Disagree on this...MDA loved Curry and Curry's dad wanted him with MDA. I was a fan of Rubio, but also assumed that his shot, which is not terrible looking, would actually be effective at some point. MDA needed someone who was a sniper like Nash, who could drive to the basket and kick out...Curry was that player.

And than find a trading partner (let's say somebody like the trail blazers) to trade down our pick to them for their pick and a early second round pick(s). Early 2nds? Do you pay attention to NBA draft trades? Nets got 3 first rounders the 13,18, and 23rd for the 7th pick in the draft. This trade was great for the Nets, but this isn't the NFL, quantity over quality is a very bad idea.
