Following 2016 potential draftees

I guess this is some sort of fused message? Dunn over Murray? but you wanna hype Kendrick Nunn as well?? Kendrick looks like an interesting player, it's easy to see why these 6'3"ish combo guard types get overlooked. Nunn was very impressive in the Illini victory I watched on replay yesterday, they can upset some teams if he plays like that. He's shooting a great % from 3 on 8 attempts per game..

Malcolm Hill on Illinios has a chance to get drafted in the 2nd round this or next year too. An NBA team will certainly take a flier on him.

I meant Dunn

Guys...


Am I the only one around here underwhelmed by the 2016 crop of draftees so far? Dragan - no outside shot, can he play in the NBA?

He is shooting 50% from 3 in the Israeli League albeit it is a small sample size, but yes he will be able to play in the NBA. One wonders what his numbers would be if he were playing in college instead of playing against grown men in the top league outside of the NBA.

Strange.. I looked on DX last night and it showed him shooting 14.3% from 3's and 44.4% from 2's... in EURO games (6 games).

Edit: Just saw that he's a career 27% from 3's (155 attempts). Not bad but also not THAT good?

I know everybody is taken by Ben Simmons, but Skal Labissiere and Dragan Bender are the most intriguing prospects for me ATM.
 
So a big PF comes along who might actually be able to play SF, and KKK decides to dip on that whole "lets turn a PF into a SF" thing? This has to be a troll job, right?

Simmons is a PF?? LOL .. news to me.. have always thought he's a natural SF first and foremost... He's too slight in build to guard the likes of Favors, Randolph, Dirk, Gasol... IMO

He is 240 lbs and is 6'9/6'10. He has the body of Blake Griffin as an 18 year old, of course he is a PF.

IDK about slight. Simmons is one of the more jacked Freshman you are going to see. Dude's going to be big in a few years.

I selectively used his Israeli League numbers and not his Euroleague numbers which are not as good, but he gets more playing time in the Israeli League games which helps him to get his shooting stroke going.

Malcolm Hill is a 4 year college player then off to Europe. He can score the ball but this is whats going hold him back from the league

-Awful defender. One of the worse I have ever seen.

-Slow laterally. Really slow

- Has a bad attitude. Thing have been brewing awhile and other game he had to sit for the start of 2nd half.

OK but with his playmaking skills I'd much rather have him top of the key, tripple threat position, handling the ball, making plays for others, than stuck in the key demanding it.


I might even play him at the point for a year ala when LeBron first came into the league and let him lose with 3-4 shooters playing with him spacing the floor.. LOL .. would be fun to watch what he can do.
