Following 2016 potential draftees

My expectation for Thon Maker is along the lines of Hassan Whiteside--a good defensive player, good motor, limited feel and skills offensively. He might be a bit better than that if he knocks down open looks. His FT percentage is encouraging at 71%. I just don't think he's going to be a guy you can give the ball to and get an important bucket. Whereas, I think Skal is likely to be an effective offensive player. Will see.

This is Hassan Whiteside entering the 2010 draft after his freshman year at Marshall. This is the version of Whiteside I was comparing Maker to as a prospect. Whiteside was 6'11.5", 225 lbs with a 9'5" standing reach at the same age. He was thin, somewhat athletic, but not explosive vertically, was fairly quick, but limited offensively. He scored on drop offs and put-backs with a few open jumpers. He was seen as a wildcard, with teams looking at him in the lottery, but he ended up getting drafted at the top of the 2nd round. I think overall that Whiteside is a fair expectation for Maker, understanding that it took Whiteside 4+ years to develop to where he is today.

That said, one of the reasons that Whiteside dropped in the 2010 draft was because he really screwed the pooch in some of his interviews. That might have cost him going in the first round. Maker has been interviewing really well apparently.

Saw this deal on Realgm and really liked it it:

Burke/12/42

for

Covington/24/26

What would others think? I liked that it completed our wing rotation (really the best we could hope for at 12, and still gives us two shots at the end of the first).

Yes.
In fact, I'd probably do the pic swaps without the player swaps.

I'd rather pick at 12 and take one of the players in my signature.

Potential Jazz 2nd round pick?

After a promising freshman season, Patrick McCaw took the next step in his development as a sophomore, earning Second Team All-Mountain West Conference honors, as well as being named to the All-Defensive Team.

His UNLV team was mired in dysfunction, though, highlighted by the head coach that recruited him, Dave Rice, being fired mid-season. Considering his team didn't settle on a coach for the upcoming season until mid-April, it wasn't much of a surprise to see McCaw elect to leave the program, along with virtually everyone else on the roster after a disappointing 18-15 season (8-10 in the MWC).

McCaw has good physical attributes for a NBA shooting guard, standing over 6'5 without shoes with a long 6'10 wingspan. He's a very smooth athlete who covers ground well and will surprise you at times with both his quickness and explosiveness, even if he's still figuring out how to utilize it consistently in half-court settings. Part of that is due to his rail-thin frame, which is still in a very early stage of development and will likely take at least a few years to fully mature.

I like Covington a lot. I would do Burke/12/42 for Covington/24. But I don't think Burke really has a lot of value.
