Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I am going to give Gilles de reis (or what ever) for bring him up before (along with the other 100 players) but I like what I am seeing. He kind of has a Draymon Green type of attitude out there. He has some range on his jump shot but in no way is he a stretch anything but man he swallows up shots at the rim. He is already built like a tank. The question is; is he a first round pick or an early second?

Interesting note but trying to fill needs with rookies is a bad idea. I think Bradley is fine but is young and young bigs generally aren’t defenders.

We draft bpa... get a guy like Evans and I think he can handle spot minutes if there are injuries and fills a lot of long term holes (like Ingles getting old) if he develops.

One thing I’ve considered is if we think Favs walks we could use our unguaranteed guys to take on Tyson chandler or Marvin gortat and get draft assets for doing so. Could also swap AB for Lopez or just keep Udoh... he lacks heft in some matchups but is great on the perimeter while providing rim protection.

I was just saying what I heard the rest is speculation. I do like the Mitchell Robinson idea as he has a ton of potential. there where a lot of other options but personally I got the idea DL is not enamored with this draft and our position. He says they got lucky with the draft and Mitchell they had no idea he would be this good so quickly. He mentioned the luck of draft Rudy late in the first round and he said jokingly "Didn't i mention that walt perrin is running the draft this year."

I still like my guy Justin Jackson and think he is the perfect fit on this team.
 
Konate profiles as a player who could go in the top 40 picks, he's got more polish offensively than you might realize after a quick glance. He's got a good back to the basket game and pretty good touch. He's young compared to his class iirc too.

That is my thinking to just stating what I heard from DL on the radio. I found the comment odd

U are onto something with Austin Wiley too. He'd be a good project to develop, eventually has major "who the hell is that guy" power he reminds me of Jeremy Tyler but bigger and tougher, he's younger than most of these freshman too..
 
Upgrading defense when Rudy is on the bench doesn't necessarily mean they are looking to upgrade at backup center. It could just mean upgrading as a collective group defensively when Rudy is not on the floor. Which means defense will be a priority which is isn't surprising because it's been a priority ever since DL and Quin got here.

Good thoughts. Maybe the defense changes a bit because they don't have their rim protector. If Favs doesn't return, maybe they do need a vet center as a backup. Udoh was a fun experiment, but he's worthless on offense. And Bradley is likely another year, maybe two away. He was drafted as a project, so no expectations of him being ready for rotation mins next year.
