Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Hachimura reminds me of San Diego State Kawhi. I haven’t checked his number but my eyes were reminded of the former MWC player of the year.
 
I think Mfiondu Kabengele is dramatically better than Marquese Chriss has turned out to be. Kab is a better shooter, better rebounder, better interior defender, has a bigger/better body and plays much harder. Plus, he's not a complete knucklehead. The potential for Kabengele is in the same ballpark as Serge Ibaka, who incidentally was also drafted in the 20s.
Yeah, I agree... he seems to play with more urgency and better motor.
 
Marquese Chriss and Kambengele aren't really good comparison points at all. Chriss was very young, Kambengele turns 22 before the season. Kambengele is like a more versatile version/newer age Al Jefferson type of player, he's got a dropstep some midrange game, he's got good feel for whats going on, long arms, strong build...

I first pointed him out here years ago, way before I knew he was related to Dikembe, surely I mentioned "they list him at 6'9" 250lbs and at SF..." Knew he was a Canadian import which often skews the hype vs reality.
 
Here's a white player the fans can get behind. good prospect. word is he's worked out for Boston already and is headed to OKC.

I’m actually really down with this pick. How’s his handle and ability to create? How would you compare Huerter coming out to where you think this kid could be in a year?

I see an article that he says he has a 6’11” wingspan which is solid and he looks quite fresh-faced as if he could grow a little maybe. Natural shooter. Pretty athletic. If you think he has a decent handle and can create some, sign my *** up.

Jordan Nwora, 6'7", 225 lbs. Decent athlete, good shooter with a quick release, quick hands on defense. Averaged 17/7.6/1.3 and 0.9 stls with 37% 3-pt on 6 att/game. He'd be a solid pick in the 20s. His natural position is probably at the 3 with some ability to play up or down depending on the matchup. He's the same size as Bryon Russel.

They might see Niang as a bt redundant with him tho

honestly he would be a nice fit in Utah. They need more dynamic offense. for the price they'd pay him, no doubt QS would be able to extract major value from him, even off the bench.

Type of rookie who garners minutes right away and then earns more as the szn progresses, then you have a chance for him to have a coming out part in the offs...

He is in line with what I think Utah's looking for.
