Following 2016 potential draftees

Draft them both and put one on the others shoulders to make a full NBA player.

I'd take either in the second round, but don't see them as anything except backups.

Same, I think they are both really fun players to watch, but I don't think they fit well in our system at all. The thing with Felder is... at least he has a strong body, while Ulis is literally under 150 pounds. I can't see how he will handle the NBA physicality.
 
Chad Ford Official list of international early entries who stayed in the draft: Gracin Bakumanya, Dragan Bender, Petr Cornelie, Juan Hernangomez, Furkan Korkmaz, Timothe Luwawu, Georgios Papagiannis, Zhou Qi, Guerschon Yabusele, Rade Zagorac, Ante Zizic, Ivica Zubac

Not many stashable players in the second round. Papagiannis might be worth it. Bakumanya, too... The rest will probably not fall to us in the second.

Can we trade up in the second using all our seconds to get Zagorac?

Edit: I just realized this is not the full list. Cordinier is still in... He was my early pre-draft crush prospect. I'd love it if we manage to acquire him in the second.
 
I wonder what team is gonna pick Zhou Qi? NBA scouts think he's 23 or 24 years old instead of 20 years old like he says. To them, that's somewhat alarming.

And he will get paid 20 million this offseason.

What would u rather have, 20 million for Barnes, or 30 million for Hayward? Food for thought. I'd take the ladder. With no hesitation.

As for the Skal argument... IMO he has tremendous upside. He's only 18 and every player is different in the speed they mature and progress. Also, I've seen plenty of cases where the player's game is better suited for the NBA game, and Vice versa great college players who couldn't live up to the hype.

There are a few guys I'd rather draft, but I also think there is enough risk reward to justify drafting Skal, and it wouldn't bother me at all

Pretty sure skal is at least 20... I would understand the Skal pick... I'd understand dejounte Murray... Richardson i don't get at all... So many guys I'd have rated over him if I was a GM.

Not sure Zagorac will last into the second. Will depend a lot on his workouts coming up.

Agree here. Felders build and athleticism is closer to what Isaiah Thomas' are... Ulis is still interesting but damn... Cy's had girlfriends that weighed more than 150 lbs.

How is he 20??? Isn't he a freshman. He's probably 19.

He's 20.2... Check DX... He's also Haitian right? Not sure if his records are verifiable or not.

"Interesting news about Tyler Ulis' hip issue. NBA exec told me there're more "red flags" than ever this year. May cause big names to slide."

Could make things more interesting/frustrating than they already are
