call it rationalizing, but honestly, I think troy brown has a chance to really improve the jump shot. certainly not a guarantee, but it isn't broken.

Troy Brown is still 18. It's not hard to project him growing to be 6'8" and 220+ lbs. With his feel and ball skills, combined with his length, he could have an offensive impact similar to Jimmy Butler, even if he never becomes a knock-down shooter. He and Butler are already the same height without shoes. If he becomes a full-fledged three-level scorer, he's pretty much an All Star.

And what? Okobo's gonna be cool with just riding the pine for four years and want to re-sign with us then?

There is this thing called restricted free agency to where he has little choice in the matter unless he wants to take the QO. And I'm sure he would still play a lot, just not starter minutes.

I mean, it's impossible to project height growth for anyone over the age of 18, but he will certainly be in the 220+ range within 2 or 3 years.
 
Troy Brown moves the ball fast up the court. He flips it instantly with one hand. He would be better than Exum, Burks from day one in terms of ball movement. He already fits into a Euro style of play. Just work on the shot and he is there. Granted it is a risk, but worth it. I would love it if we got him and then pick up Grayson early in the 2nd round.

yep. he's a huge risk due to his size and shooting and then that you can pretty much pencil in the fact he really can't defend. if he can't be an efficient scorer, it's really tough to play a guy like that who will have a tough time defending most players in the league.

I could also see him being an offense unto himself and really bending defenses.

Things change, but man I can't believe Sacramento would pass on Doncic... oh wait... I totally believe that.

People sleeping on Miles Bridges imo.

I don't get the Aaron Holiday love.

Huerter is fine but if Okobo is there I'd be a bit disappointed that we took him.
