Just as excited as I would be about having Josh Smith playing Small Forward for my team.

This guy definitely isn't a black hole, look at the video, he has good passing instinct and has been racking up assists in the chinese league.

Oh Josh Smith is a good passer and playmaker on the move for his true position.

Yes, Smith should play in the high post mostly.

Mudiay playing the 1 or 2 doesn't change the fact that he is on the perimeter.

Terrible comparison.

Both players have a horrible shot selection and overestimate their shooting ability.
I don't like these Detroit style spacing catastrophe propositions that are thrown around...

Dude is shooting 49% in a professional league with that horrible shot selection. I can't comment on the talent level of the league, but he is balling. 32% from 3 isn't great, but it's not bad for a guy who isn't considered a shooter. A bit to early in his career to make wild judgements about his shot selection.
 
Becoming increasingly evident that Frank Kaminsky is just too skilled offensively not to be a top-20 pick with the way NBA teams play now.

Any thoughts on Kaminsky? I think he could be a pretty good NBA player, kind of like a less naturally gifted Pau Gasol with more range on his jumper.

I'm sorry but I've got to put my foot down on this, we need athletic players who can defend their position as the bare minimum. Kaminsky doesn't seem to have elite size or overly athletic.

He is 7' tall. That is pretty tall. He is on one of the best defensive teams in the country, so he is at least smart enough to understand defensive schemes. I really like him in the late teens.

Think his ceiling is Gasol-lite w/ 3pt range and his floor is Channing Frye.

I dunno I just feel like our team needs quote "badass players" unquote, someone who can QUOTE "BRING IT PHYSICALLY" UNQUOTE.


I'm sick and tired of seeing Favors/Kanter/Gobert being physically "bullied" every-single-game.
 
Kaminsky. 56.3/40.7% is killer...8.7 rebounds is damn solid in less than 30 minutes a game in that tortoise-paced conference. So is 2.3 blocks per game. If he measured out at 6'11".5 with shoes, I'd def take a strong look at him around 20.
