orlando and smart match made in heaven.
I wouldn't be that surprised if Smart had a better career than Exum.
Can Vonleh make trey quick enough to get by his man and drive the lane? Serious question.
What's your thoughts on Birch? Has a great warp projection and is a monster defender/rebounder. Shade over 6'9 and had added about 30lbs of muscle since his freshman year. I'd love to see him play a Steven Adams type role for us and believe he could.
Love Jordan Adams though, been following him since his AAU days and he was always lights out.
I always liked Khem Birch, i know of him for awhile, as a recruit and then I can remember seeing him at Pitt, my initial assessment was definitely 'this guy looks like an NBA player' I can remember being amazed with how well he could run.
IMO he belongs somewhere in the 40's or 50's. I can see why he declared this year, without offensive improvement next year he would have been turning 23 going into that draft, there was plenty of room for error.
I think Khem can stick, he plays defense and rebounds, serviceable FT shooter, that's a classic formula to hang around.
Best-case for him is maybe... Amir Johnson.. i think thats spot on and could happen, hes going to need to play 4 for a long career though.
I gotta say though if im looking for Defense and Rebounding in the 50's, i prefer stashing Moussa Diagne, whos got legit C size. for a team like the Knicks, Khem could be a perfect match and really outperform though, hes got a decent shot at making it as a 2nd round pick imo, I wish he showed more improvement on offense in all these years, but i guess thats why you get him in the 2nd round
What if New Orleans offers #9, #45 and next years 1st unprotected for #5?
how about #7 and next years first from the Lakers?
would the Celtics consider #6 and #17 for #5 and #35, if Exum fell?
how about #8, Ray McCallum and next years 1st top-5 protected for #5?
