Okay, how about a unilateral de-escalation on this whole topic of correlations? It's got nowhere to go.

Aminu is better than Giannis? Good lord this man is funny.
So Kuzma really shot the lights out in the scrimmage -- 20 pts. on 8/10 from the floor, incl. 4/5 from 3pt.

I'm definitely coming around to [MENTION=3213]Wes Mantooth[/MENTION] in thinking that Ojeleye would be a very nice pick. He is really a player you could see hanging with GSW. He has the speed, athleticism, and shooting to be a 4 against the Warriors.
This is just skimming through the 2013 draft thread:
I literally went through just half of his posts in the 2013 draft thread. It was extremely hard to find some of these gems because he went back and edited almost 2/3 of his posts because he was ashamed of them. I had to physically go to the posts and look for replies by other members that had the original quote.

Let me preface everything by saying he didn't measure well. 6'9.8" wingspan and 8'6" standing reach. In comparison, Alec Burks was 6'10.5" and 8'7.5". Heck, OG was 7'2.3" and 8'11.5" so light years bigger.
That said, he may be a lesser OG at around 30. Dude is chiseled and could def play the 3 but may be able to play anywhere from 2-4 (while OG is more 3-5) depending on the match-up. He has the physicality and toughness we sorely need. He shot 42.4% from three on 4.9 attempts, 78.5% from the line, 52.9% from 2, and perhaps most impressively perhaps, got to the line 6.3 attempts per game and grabbed 6.9 rebounds as a wing on a team that played at an exceptionally slow pace (348th out of 351 D1 college teams). Oh yeah, he also compiled 1.5 dimes too. Maybe (maybe?) the best comp physically would be Ron Artest (minus the crazy) for whom I can't find any measurements.
Per DX, he's inconsistent defensively but with his physcial profile and our coaching and frontline behind him, I think he could definitely improve there.
At 30 you could do a whole lot worse.
Ojeleye should be in play at #30, as should Wilson, Bryant, Swanigan, Adebayo and whoever slips a bit (like Leaf, Lydon, ??). There is a surplus of bigs in the late first.
I also wouldn't be shocked to see the Jazz take Cameron Oliver at #30. He's going to rise the more he works out for teams.
