Following potential 2015 draftees

[Duck Rodgers]

Tyler Hawsbaginovic from Bosnia-Herzegovina looks intriguing:

He probably wouldn't be in the top 10 scorers in the country for 3 straight years or anything crazy lif he came and played college ball in America or anything like that, but he looks like he has a unique mid-range game.

First I was like: WTF.

Then I realized BYU temple command is in charge again.

I want

Stanley Johnson - he has the "it"
kevon looney - love his length and intangibles
Kelly obre - pure scorer we miss

in that order right now. (could change depending how the season plays out and how people play)

Good list.. but Oubre way ahead of Looney for me.

Towns > Porzingis > Walker for me.

If we draft wing and address the big men depth and skilllevel in other ways, I want Winslow.

Not convinced of Oubre and Johnson at this point. They have to show me something special.

Winslow will surprise people in the shadow of Okafor at Duke.

His passing is what I think could separate him more than any other attribute.

Kinda sad watching this because what he's doing is what I thought Kanter could do. Post up game. Inside-outside versatility. Great length for the C position.


Towns seems like he is already better than Favors offensively... defensively if Gobert is a capable Pivot, then I think that is a great young core.


Gobert
Towns
Hayward
Burks
Exum


That team could be scary good in 3-4 years if everyone can play to their full potential.

I see a lot of Tim Duncan in Towns actually..


- Intelligent player, high basketball IQ offensively and defensively.

- fundamentally sound, can rebound, can block shots, can score in the post, potentially a very complete player

- Legit 7 footer but seems very mobile on his feet

- plays both side of the ball

- can stroke the jumper

- Excellent passer & team player

So now towns is a lot like Tim Duncan?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Those are solid posts kkk.. I usually pick comps apart and I feel most people only watch the highlights of the highlight reels.. but you did a good job here. Well done.

So now towns is a lot like Tim Duncan?

With better skill doe.

Mario Hezonja crew checking in, especially since he grew two inches to 6'8 in the last year or so.

I knew someone would do this.


I see a lot of 'fundamental similarities' between say a young Tim Duncan and what Towns currently possess (High IQ 7 footer who is good on his feet, good rebounder/shot-blocker, good post up game/faceup game). Like anything it's really down to what Towns does with the talent that he has to maximise his potential.
