A few thoughts:

** It's more likely Monk will go in the top 8. He's expected to transition to PG and he's regarded as a better prospect than Ntilikina. Unless Ntilikina just wows in workouts, Monk and Frank would probably switch places, and Monk may go top 6 or 7.

** I think Patton is a better prospect than Ike Anigbogu as a 5, but with Nurkic and spot minutes from Vonleh, the Blazers have their 5 spot pretty much covered. They'll take BPA, but their weakness is the wing or the 4. They could be more prone to take Justin Jackson or their favorite of the PFs, possibly Leaf or John Collins.

** I know that Jeanne got some buzz at the combine and that the Bucks swing for upside in the form of athletic length, but they took Thon Maker last year, and he's a similar player to Jeanne. The Bucks want to move on from Greg Monroe and John Henson, while allowing Maker to develop as a perimeter-oriented player. This is where they would take a bulkier and more skilled inside-outside big, especially if there are long-term questions about Jabari Parker. I think they'd have a hard time passing on Patton if he's there. They could also take Anigbogu, Jarrett Allen, or maybe Bam.
 
Sterling Brown, Wesley Iwundu, Semi, Thornwell, Just a lot of good 3 and D potential in the second round. I think Brown is a sleeper as the raw numbers aren't there but I'd be stoked to have any of those guys at 42... one of them will be there.

I think Devin Robinson needs to be in that conversation as well, though he's not quite the same level of prospect as Semi or likely Iwundu.

Haven't watched him... just heard guys talking about him and I get the impression he isn't a smart player. Agree that he's got the tools but I'd hope he goes Undrafted and sign him to a two way contract.
 
Looks like MSU was 17-1 and Semi and Sterling were key guys. Let's get both those guys.

Devin Robinson -- 6'8" 200 lbs, good athlete, 7' wingspan
Shot 39% from 3 as a senior with 3+ attempts per game. Decent steal rate with some blocks.
He can spot-up, drive the ball and pretty much run all day.
Needs to get stronger, improve his handle and passing and finish better at the rim.

He'll probably go in the 40s, where he's a value pick. The Jazz worked him out with Josh Hart and Donovan Mitchell.

Curious how has made more NBA all star games? One year Rudy made an all NBA team and Blake was hurt. Get out with your homersim



QUOTE=Catchall;1425864]Why I argue with this guy....

Game 1 -- Clippers fully healthy, playing at home. Gobert gets injured on the first play of the game. Jazz win Game 1.
Game 4 -- Hayward out with food poisoning, Gobert hobbled and on a minutes restriction. Jazz win Game 4.
Game 5 -- Must-win for Clips, playing at home. Gobert still hobbled. Jazz win Game 5.
Game 7 -- Refs foul out Gobert in 12 minutes of game time with 3 bogus calls. Jazz blow out Clips and win the series.

Everyone healthy? Jazz win in 5 or maybe 6 games. Jazz > Clippers.

Rudy Gobert = All NBA
Blake = not so much

NoColorado = tard[/QUOTE]
 
Dante Josh Jackson is not the better fit for the lakers. Also yes Dad might have a mouth but Lonzo don't talk in the media and just goes out and play. Do you know it's a circus because TMZ tells you? How else would you know from Australia. As someone who spends lots of time in southern cali I can tell you Lonzo just goes and plays. Josh Jackson has no jumper neither and Lakers already have a sf for future. Jackson is not a sg.
