What's new

Following potential 2017 draftees...

You gotta give him at least one more year. This is the most important offseason of his life, it'll be very telling what comes of it.

Trey has better instincts, he's just got consistency issues, as most young players do. His tale is far from over. All he needs to do is hone that 3pt shot and he's got nothing to worry about all the haters will look like idiots and eat crow for doubting him, if his shot proves to be unreliable then the haters will be proven right, at least for this initial stint on the rookie deal.

He's soft, too laid back, can't rebound, cant defend. There is A LOT to work on. lol

Like I said before, always follow the money. He will make $2.4MM next season, do you think that pricepoint is so high that he can't possibly fulfill that very low expenditure (~2% of the cap)? and they should just cut ties with him a la Trey Burke and just accept whatever sunken cost return they can find??

And 1 follow up to that question; how do you think that would reflect upon Dennis Lindsey? -- Or is he absolved? and it's all Trey's fault.

Context; $101MM is the projected cap, divided by 17 players. Thats about $5.9MM per spot on average.

Bryan Antoine showed up to the UK visit decked out in good-guy gear?!?!

For those unfamiliar, he might be the closest thing to Markelle Fultz. More hops too. He's taller(6'5") and possibly still growing too. Has the ball on a string. (#1 in the below vid)

Scottie Lewis(#23) is a gem in his own right too. One of the most athletic players I've ever seen at the same stage a few years ago. He's supremely athletic.

I'm not saying get rid of him for nothing next year. There is still a chance his offense will come back.

but we've seen his weaknesses and they are glaring. If you can't rebound or defend you won't get minutes if your shot isn't falling.

Best case scenario: offensive stretch big on your bench.

Wow, from this 6 second clip it looks like lyles is a decent defender. Quinn should have used him against Durrant and Green. :)


Sorry, I was struck by the irony of my reaction to this video. I flinch and say "Six seconds and one highlight is not enough to say Lyles is a good player." But inexplicably I will go watch a 2minute DX video on some prospect and fall in love with him.

We are all irrational.
 
just going off of DX current ranking this is who i would want

#24 Hartenstien - The chance to pair 2 7'ers together with one having the ability to stretch the floor and guard on the perimeter is just to much to pass on. regretfully he will not be ready next year so that is ok we still have favors. Hartenstein can also play back up center mintues. Dark horses (Pasecniks or Giles)

#30 Thomas Bryant is just to much to pass as a back up to Gobert. He is heavy footed but is a wonderful change of pace player to gobert. Dark Horese picks (Diallo)

#42 PJ Dozier His ability to potentially run the point guard at 6-6 is to much to pass at this point in the draft. His glaring weakness is consistent 3 pt shot. If he can develop everything else will transfer

#54 This is a great place to get a draft and stash player like Okouo or Kaba
