What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

Listening to SVP and Russillo the other day, Russillo said he'd talked to a scout he respects a ton who said KAT is the best shooter in the draft. Not best shooting big, but best overall shooter.

Curious what PKM would say about that. Based on how he shot FTs, it may not be that far fetched. Just because he wasn't asked to shoot the 3 at UK doesn't mean he couldn't, I guess.
I think he'll be a good shooting big, but best shooter in the draft? That's definitely hyperbole. No way Towns will be a better 3 point shooter than Russell or Booker. Having said that, at the Nike Hoop Summit he did beat Wiggins in a 3 point contest, fwiw.

Sooooooo I would insinuate that Myles Turner is the guy the Suns want at 13. Only workout they've tried to hide.

PKM was hyping his shooting from the very beginning of the process this season. I don't know if he'd be the best shooter from this class, but I think it is very possible he will be an elite shooting big.
 
@stevekylerNBA: Hearing Devin Booker's floor maybe #9 to Charlotte... and Stanley Johnson floor is #10 to Miami.



Interesting .

I have never seen a big hit so many 3's in practice, consistently.

However, even though he has good form and a feathery, effortless touch (no homo), he has a little jump stop and a semi-low/slow release that sees him get his shot challenged and not as translatable to in-game scenarios.

I think he has massive upside as the best 3pt shooting:blocks center in the league, but he needs a few years to get his groove. He will begin with some putbacks, blocks, and 10 footers.. and work from there.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight.

That's fine with me. Problem is, I think Indy would take Turner at 11. Curse of the coin flip, eh? Still glad Cotton went off in a meaningless game?

Could be one of the best passing bigs too.

yes. VERY underrated in that regard.

I was 100% certain I KNEW how Calipari would use him this year.. and was wrong.

I saw him parking Towns at the free throw line extended to see over the defense and feed him for the pass (he's LETHAL) and if anyone backs off he can hit that shot all.. damn.. day..

Playing a sort of not really point forward type of role with running the offense through him with his great vision/passing, reading of the defense, and his shooting touch, would have made him unstoppable. If only Cal could coach and ****.
 
timber pups - will take towns
fakers - they are trickier I think Russell and okafor but I say Russell after watch gsw win it
76 lossers - honestly I see them taking porzingis
snicker knicker- okafor best case for them but I could see them look long and hard at mudiay
Harry potters- mudiay is BPA but they take hezonja over Winslow
no sactown - is dancing with mudiay
thugz - cant believe Winslow is on the board
wizztons - size does mater but they draft Johnson anyway
bubble bees - booker best pick here
south beachers - nab oubre figering wade and bosh can light a fire under him
pace cars - they can go a lot a directions but lets go with the flow and take Payne
super jazzed - take u turn and draft turner.

Sorry but all your names you say these teams makes it hard to even take serious. Why you do that anyway. But you are so smart mostly.
