Following potential 2015 draftees

I wouldn't say that Booker is limited physically. He's certainly not elite, but he's average, certainly not limited.

Yeah and that's why I'm still gonna be cautious.

Add Mcdermott to the list as well. But its too early to use last years in these discussions I think.

How about Babbit and Morrison? Would you add the to the list as well? They do have the height though but are average athletically.

Really? Cos I haven't really seen that from him yet. If he is elite athletically then he should sit comfortably in the top #10.

Hm, just checked... for some reason I was left with the impression that it was elite. Disregard my previous post, it's wrong. The number is 35.5'' max vertical, which is exactly average for SGs in the league.

Lol Nickkk says this as Booker goes 5/15 from the field tonight but still is leading his team with 18 points.

Yeah the people on this site are just ecstatic when Trey does the same thing...

Ok thought so... thanks for confirming.

Yeah actually add Trey to the list of a very good college shooter (over 40% from 3) with limited height and athleticism who have struggled with his shooting in the NBA.

Not Babbitt, he had a good wingspan and was athletically impressive at the combine at least. He shouldn't have busted so bad. Morrison yes, fits the bill.

I think he is more likely an Abdur Rahim type player. If Johnson was still on the board I'd be pissed if we took Looney.

Hadn't thought of this comp before, but I like it. Though if Looney ended up as Abdur Rahim, we'd almost have to be crazy to pass on him (esp. in the 8-12 range). Dude had a very productive (if not highly winning) career. Can't remember the guy's career well enough to say, but Basketball Reference indicates that he played SF for several of his (esp. most productive) early years, though he was a PF for a longer time.

That said, really doubt that Looney is the scorer Abdur Rahim was, though he may bring better skills at other aspects.

Correction: Trey actually shot 38.4% from 3's his final year at MICH, not sure why I thought it was over 40%.


He was still regarded as a very good shooter though. He also shot the best percentage off the dribble in college that year as well - something which hasn't really translated to the NBA (yet).

Looney keeps reminding me of Luol Deng with less defensive focus.

I'm fairly meh on Luol Deng.
