His shot form does not look good to me.

Such a weird looking shot, like he's twisting his entire upper body to line up the shot. If you twist it, then it will naturally untwist itself, making it inconsistent at best. He looks like he developed his shooting as a little kid and never adapted it when he got older and bigger. Not very hopeful about that.

I think Cam is going to be 4th on my next big board ahead of both Thompson twins.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Realistically if you just swapped Ausar and Wallace does it really look much different than most?

I suppose so.

I think Cam is going to be 4th on my next big board ahead of both Thompson twins.

I think Cam has more scoring upside than just about everyone. I think he could easily be better than Miller, not saying he is a better prospect because Miller does so many things well.

It looks similar to PJ Tucker’s I think.

He's trying to keep his shooting elbow in, which is a fine, but he's leaning his whole body in a strange way to do it.

Its just not fluid... it looks like there is a small hitch/hesitation in there. Black kinda has a similar klunkiness.

Looks like Bilal is likely gone before 16.

Oh wow. That’s definitely interesting.

I wonder what team it is?

Interesting…

I really like him. The rumor is that OKC really likes him at #12. Toronto may like him at #13. It's one of those teams. If the Jazz want Bufkin, Wallace or Bilal, they may need to deal with Orlando for #11.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I wonder what team it is?

I could see Orlando or OKC or Toronto making that promise.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

OKC was also rumored to be trying to move up from 12 (using future picks), so that makes it more likely that Toronto is the team that promised Bilal.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's possible the Jazz have a deal on the table with Orlando, where Orlando trades back from 6 to 9. Their target would probably be Hendricks or Dick at 9. Jazz would be targeting Whitmore or Walker at 6. Jazz would probably have to give up 16 in that deal, but maybe they can do something else where they get 11 from Orlando or 10 from Dallas. That would enable them to nab the guard of their choice, whoever that ends up being.

It's sounding like the Jazz are prepared to lose both Clarkson and Horton-Tucker. Pick 16 may be too late to get any of the guards they'd want...unless they want Nick Smith. If I were the Jazz, I'd be just as intrigued with Bilal as I am Anthony Black. Bilal has shown some three-level ability and really nice defensive flashes.

We should offer Washington 9 and 28 for their 8 and 42. That seems very fair to me and benefits both teams. That would leave us with 8, 16, and 42.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Barlowe (Locked on Draft) had a former Pelicans executive and he said he thinks the Thunder love Bilal and may look to move up to draft him.

I think it's pretty clear Orlando at 11 is another big Bilal spot, hell maybe Utah at 9 is, but I think that would be his absolute ceiling unless OKC tries to move up to get him beyond Utah.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Bilal being an absolute beanpole is the main thing that has kept me from jumping on his bandwagon big time.

I think we should give Orlando 9, 16 and a lightly protected future pick for 6 and 11. That assumes, we can't get 5 from Detroit. Jazz go after Whitmore and some guard, whether it's Wallace, Bufkin, Hood-Schifino, Dick, George or Bilal.

Then take another flier at 28.

I think he weighs in the mid-190s like Wiggins.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The Spurs are probably a huge player to get back into the lottery. Keldon Johnson would be a great addition to the Rockets/Pistons.
