What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

For a guy as big and seemingly physical as Okafor, why does he not get to the FT line? That's always a big concern to me.

Same reason Al Jefferson doesn't go to the FT line much - he's too good and the defense is nowhere near him when he gets his shots off. :D This comparison makes more and more sense to me with every game I watch of him.
 
I think I said this yesterday, but Chris McColough is starting to look like he has the goods to me. Nice combination of skill, feel and athleticism in a 6'10" 220-lb PF. He just needs to get stronger and gain maybe 10 pounds over the next year or two. He's got some fast-twitch athleticism that enables him to make more nuanced moves and speed bursts.
 
Johnson/baker is who I am hoping for next year.

trade Burke for what ever we can get for him.

exum, baker, (Neto?)
Hayward, burks
Johnson, hood
Monroe, booker
favors, Gobert

Monroe is not an upgrade on defense from kanter but a lot better passer. personally I would like to see a trade for Burke that brings in a stretch 4 of some kind.
 
Portis gonna be a true stretch 4. Sweet, sweet stroke, can pass and handle well for a big, and will be unable to defend anyone. Good bench piece.
