He is the second-coming of Dirk with more of a post came. If he is there at #12, you take him, whether you have already taken Kanter or not.

Just like Harold Miner was baby Jordan?

Or Morrison the next Bird? We must take him!

I think I'd compare his game more to Okur than Nowitski, but that's hardly a damning comparison. A young, healthy Okur at 12 on a rookie-scale contract would be pretty awesome.

Wow this new bulked up version looks like a different person.

So he's a lot like Fes?

comparing him to fes is kind of unfair to donatas. He may not be the best talent in this draft but he has a very very good potential. He has good range, may be consistent 3 point shooter if he works on it. And he is a very good passer, he loves those flashy passes like kirilenko always do. For me only concern is how he can translate his game to nba becuz he isnt bulked up enough. He doesnt seem to love phsycal contact so much. I didnt watch him a lot, so i dont wanna use certain terms but overall i think he is a very good player and in this draft he is a steal after 8-9 for sure.
Also he is more like a PF than C.

No. Notice I said "skilled."

My love for Monti is well posted. He passes the eyeball test while watcing: his play is fluid and instinctual, he has 3-pt range, can put the ball on the floor, and is a creative passer off the dribble--and he is 7-1 and the recent videos show he has really worked on his body.

At 7-1 I don't know if he is a center, a pf or sf--but he is a player. I've read that he has a huge ego, is lazy and conceited--so he should fit right in the NBA.

My guess is that he somehow ends up on Dallas, Houston, or Spurs where he kills us for years to come.

Definitely not a center. He is tall, but his arms are stubs. He would rebound at the same rate of Bargnani, 5-6 a game. Just not a fan.

Very impressive video. Thanks for posting.

No doubt he is a good prospect. I think I must biased though, because I would have a hard time getting excited for him.
