Hugo Besson is a good example of the difference between The French Junior League, the Jeep Elite (top French League), and the NBL (Australian League).

The Australian League isnt very talented, but it is a much more physical league than the Jeep Elite. Important to think about when we are thinking about Rupert vs Bilal.

And SSS, but Hugo was absolute *** in SL last year.

Just something to think about with how far Bilal might be away despite his numbers looking very impressive.

Even Lamelo struggled in the NBL. The Aussies will chew you up if you're not used to the physicality. I don't really hold it against Rupert that he has a tough time on offense there....but Rupert doesn't have a great track record on offense in any competition. Defensively he's a great prospect though and while the NBL might not make you look great, I do think it's a great development path.

I see that he's about #20 in consensus rankings. He can rise a ton in the predraft process with some good workouts.
 
Here is a question... Portland lands the second pick... they don't want to trade Dame and offer #2 straight up for Lauri. Ignore trade rules on salary and assume something neutral could be done.

Not trying to trade Lauri and have no idea what I'd pick... and I really like Scoot. Just curious what others would do.

Great question.

Probably not. The main reason I want a player like Scoot is to amplify and complement Lauri.

And I don’t even have an answer… just awesome that before the season you would have done that 10 times out of 10. Lauri is a great player/asset in his deal.

I do think it speaks to Scoot losing a little shine… I would love to know what kind of non-Lauri and non-Walker offer would get it done. I’m still very much a believer.

Would you do Walker/9 for 2?
