Following 2016 potential draftees

Big time. I'd give a solid player and 12 for Murray. Unfortunately, I think Sacto would take him, as they need a 2-guard.

Maybe they're really high on Curry and re-sign him?

I think Malachi Richardson goes late lottery or mid-first round based on physical talent alone. That's the part of the draft where you see guys like Zach Lavine, Jeremy Lamb, Kelly Oubre and Giannis Antetokounmpo get taken, despite any doubts. Richardson has to be right there with Luwawu.

I really like Hield when I though he was going 12-15... but in the top 7? while passing up a guy like Murray? The hype may have gone too far.

Recency bias is helping Hield. He had a great senior season.

This sounds spot on. The physical profile and potential is too big.

Ugh. I don't know what I want exactly. Moving down and acquiring another 2017 1st is probably best.

This is Wade Baldwin vs. Jamal Murray on several possessions, part of what Locke is reacting to. Notice the lack of effort from Baldwin at 1:07 on the fastbreak. Maybe he's conserving his energy, but still not great. Again at 1:26. Baldwin trailing Murray at 2:45 and again at 3:16. Again, mediocre effort on defense.

Murray doing Lillard things...

Luwawu is definitely another guy Ford and Givony differ on. Ford has really dropped him in his rankings. Also looks like he must have gotten injured again as he did not play in the last few games of Mega Leks.

Here's the DX breakdown on Baldwin v. UK... (different game)

Baldwin really wasn't guarding him all that much... He was guarding Ullis in many of those highlights and he had a terrible game... also, Vanderbilt won the game. It was just an odd statement to say he doesn't have "it"... if that is what he said.

I certainly like Murray more than Baldwin, but I might slow down a bit if I was Locke... Baldwin has a lot going for him.

So you really think Toronto would pick Poetl or Maker and Richardson will be drafted in the second round? Yes i think Givony is one of the best though, but does not mean he is always right.

I think that might happen if the draft happened today. They kind of deserve respect for his accurate they have been.

Definitely don't see Malachi falling to the 2nd round even if the draft were today.

Was just thinking how everyone on the Dubs plays good d. Most of the five starters are very good. So is Iggy off the bench. I think Ezeli is regarded highly defensively too. For our starters this is mostly true. Hood is the weakest link but he can improve and at least be average. Off the bench, Withey is really good but Burks and Lyles stink. Something to think about. Sort of makes me want to consider Davis. A defensive stud who can play the 4 or 5, score and could be insurance for Favors. Do that and maybe sign Bazemore and trade Burks.

... Locke might have given up our pick again...

Dejounte is intriguing. He wasn't measured at the combine but Chad Ford got his numbers from the Cleveland workout:

Athletic testing for @DejounteMurray: 30.5" standing vert, 36" 1-step vert, 3.0 sec 3/4 sprint, 10.54 lane agility
Anthropometric data for @DejounteMurray: 6' 5.25" in shoes, 183 lbs, 6' 11.25" wing, 8' 7" reach, 8.5" hand length 9.5" hand width

These are very impressive, particularly the wingspan which is almost 2 inches larger than his 2014. He would be a longer PG than Exum if he could play it in the NBA.
At 183 lbs he is 20 lbs heavier since last time checked as well, so he is filling out.
