Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Dumb - so Kuzma wouldn't fit? Who is dumb?

Unrealistic - probably, but the LA FO said everyone is available for the right price. Not like I made that up.

Dumb - I bet you felt so cool with this post. Did you high five yourself?

Double down dumb - just awesome.

Of course Kuz would fit! He’s a really good player.

Kid put up 16/6/2 as a rookie with good efficiency. What do you think the price for that would be?

Lakers would ask for Gobert, or Donovan. They’re not gonna throw a good, cheap rookie in a deal to get out of Deng’s contract.

So yes. It is dumb, and unrealistic.

He’s small and not athletic. That won’t cut it in the NBA.

Donte is really athletic... one of the best athletes at the combine... and it showed in his play.

Donte is closer in size and athleticism to Gary Harris than he is to Trey Burke.

Trey May have established himself as a good backup now that he’s matured a bit.

Many withdrawals coming thru. Jalen Hudson back to Florida. Mustapha Heron's out and transferring. Austin Wiley returns to Auburn!

I forgot you were a GM. I guess we should run everything by you now.

Why are we even discussing ideas? Just the Tip knows everything. Since we are in the prospects thread, who are we picking so we can save time?

So Stockton couldn’t cut it slow and un-athletic compared to others standing at a slight 6-1 185lb’s. Has more to do with toughness, IQ, and intangibles notvatketic ability.

Please.

Some of this stuff is just common sense.

Okay. I'm going to move on after this unless you say something refutable. In the future, if a somebody in this forum floats an idea based off of another team's GM stating that every player on the roster is available, just look the other way if somebody simply says:

- "I think we should pursue _____ player because he fits what we need."

Obviously, you don't think it's even worth the conversation because you know who is and isn't truly available. All I said was "we should really pursue Kuzma and the conversation starts with at least...." Because, you know, that's dumb...

IMO Huerter is no where close to Hayward. He’s closer to Korver though. I don’t see the same tenacity from him that I saw with Hayward at Butler, think his movement looks slower and clunky a little bit.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I was being a bit facetious with the Donte/Burke comp, but my overall point was undersized shooters have a hard time making it in the league unless they are really talented (guys like Eric Gordon and Lou Williams).

Heron transferring is weird.

I was referring to Burke.
