You've got WCS ahead of Porzingis when we already have Gobert?


Interesting.

I'm now putting Trey Lyles ahead of both Myles Turner and Chris McCullough. He's the kind of player the Jazz need, a versatile 6'10 guy who can handle, pass, shoot, post, rebound, run out, etc. I think he's under the radar with all the other talent on UK, but I don't remember seeing many Freshmen who had such a smooth and complete game as 6'10" players.

Lyles has a beautiful shot. Especially from 16-18'.

I think he's legit, like a mix of Kevin Love and Juwan Howard.

Reminds me of Odom before he sucked.

 

[stitches]

Okafor getting scored on by 6'6'' players in the low-post. They are shooting hooks over him. I am not sure he will ever be a plus-defender...

Wasn't aware that's how you ingested Crack.

Seriously, looks like he has a smooth shot. How's his defense?

He's playing SF and guarding 6'6 guys usually.. holds his own for sure. When he gets an assignment on bigger guys he shuts' m down. Good mix of size, strength, and speed. Nothing elite, but no holes.

He's similar to Big Al in more ways than one.

I really think that's the comp for him... He's probably going to be a better passer though.

 

[Hantlers]

Zach Randolph with a little more finesse. Okafor is more athletic than Big Al.

Maybe he'll learn to play defense once he gets a real post coach. Don't forget how much Cousins improved in that regard once he got to the NBA as well.

 

[Hantlers]

I would assume the Duke coaches are telling him to take it easy on defense because then that Plumlee spaz would have to play.
