Draft whoever Orangello thinks sucks.

I'm cool with him as the #9 pick onwards but not before. I don't "Hate" him, but I would hate for the Jazz to pick him with our #6 pick for example.

He should go 5-8, imo.

Isn't he like, what, 22 years old though?

Nah he's 23. #latebloomer #noquickie #betterlatethannever #oldbutgold

You realize the scoreboard says Springfield college right? Or is this sum AAU ******** on a neutral court?

Yes, I realize that. I also realize I see TJ Haws and Jackson Emery on the floor. LP had likely pulled Mika early due to the blowout. It was at the HoopHall Classic in Springfield - a National Tourney in January of last year.

Hes 5months older than Favors(Payne)

if i have to select a homer pick, its

i figure by the time his rookie contract is done at 22 he will be close to the size of

well maybe thats mid to late 20's but definitely

with plenty of skill and rebounds

Btw, if a team lands a Harrison twin in the late first-round that will be a major steal.

agree... either one. I would take Andrew then Aaron.. but it's not that much of a disparity. Andrew has been playing very underrated lately.
Hitting shots, taking care of the ball (come at me), great passing, rebounding, HITTING HIS FREE THROWS, and being a great leader.

That he's my "homer pick" doesn't mean he has to be the MVP.
Other than Favors, Payne has some actual ball skills and will be useful playing within his skillset.
I think his reported 38 inch no step vert is not true but I think the combine will show that he's got some serious hops and he has the strength and mobility to hold his ground in the league.

38" no step would have been the best at the combine last year, no ones ever registered over 40" no-step. i know Payne can jump id bet his vertical is close to 40", not standing though.

i dont mind selecting Payne in the late teens or early 20's im just not a fan of selecting players that old in the 1st round, Payne certainly deserves his grade, im not sold on his ability to score with consistence in the paint at the NBA level, i think if scouts were more comfortable with that hed sneak up close to the lottery

it would be interesting having him here as a rookie, hed be older than half the active roster...(the other Rook, Derrick, Alec, Enes, Trey, Rudy)

If there's a redraft with this draft class 3 years from now, I think:
- Exum will go top 3 in virtually every scenario
- Parker will go top 4 in every scenario
- Smart won't be top 4 in any scenario

This Virginia Union picture would work with your comment as well.

I also think Andrew Harrison is as good a 'big PG' prospect as Marcus Smart. Smart is a better defensive player and might have better intangibles, but Harrison should be just as good at running an offense and pressuring the defense with his drives.
