Yeah no one else throws out any names and then--oh Briggs you missed on a couple there--but the fact is I actually watch and find the guys! If I go back and show how many dead on pegs I have--Id fill the board up.

One PG in round 2 and make our first and 2nd rd picks turn into these two--forget the draft boards and take my word for these three
dropping bonzie Colson--with broken foot undersized player will need to prove it for a draft pick.

I dont mind waiting for Frank but Id rather have the next Kyle Kuzma right now. Im looking for older guys who can play--after the top 6-7 guys it f drops like a rock. these guys who are not even projected picks are just as good as anyone after that mark.

Also what's the point of drafting 19 year olds (unless they're very special) and developing them for 3 or 4 years until they start producing and then having to give them max contracts after year #5? At least with a slightly older rookie you might get more production at an earlier time from them.

As for the thread topic...I remember Diop when he first came to the scene (was he hurt last season?) and he has bad ball skills and below average defender. I see he is having a pretty good year but aside from Michigan St, their schedule is pretty cupcake.

Don't know anything about this Chandler kid

How hard is it to find guys that are putting up big stats for teams that aren't big name schools for basketball and then throw their names in a thread on a message board? I can go on the internet and find kids that are putting up good stats for their teams and post their names on a message board.

I've been waiting for this kid to play all season. Gonna see if Incan find highlights. They say he can't really shoot but is one of those stat filler types.

There are plenty of players who put up great stats who have 0/100 chance of playing in the NBA. Its good to have numbers--but rather in terms of nBA--you are looking at body athleticism skill sets length team play ball handling defense---most of these guys with great college stats have no chance. Its easy to to criticize without actually watching the games and finding the players. In this case you have two 6-8 guys with long arms who happen to have NBA skill sets imho. I dont see any post going back years where you identified anything--although you will say you did right:)

Two yeras ago I found Malcolm Brogdon--I even said he was my number 1 choice if the Knicks could acquire a second rounder. I look for 2nd res most of the time thats why its not a perfect science. Everyone knows who the top 10 guys are--thats easy.

Yeah, the talent is there. The injury was the only real question. We could be looking at both Bridges, Knox and Vanderbilt where we pick. I like Vanderbilt's upside the most. I also like the subtle improvements Miles Bridges is making as 3. Still, I'm wary of reaching.

It all depends on Perry next move. I know we want to stay young... but do we make a move to try an acquire another 25 ish talent on a starter level? If we win more Vanderbelt and the guys mentioned might still be there
