Following Potential 2018 Draftees

He is great defensively, but he has hands made of bricks and very poor touch in the paint.
Yes, but if if there are decent offensive threats in the second unit, or if he spends a reasonable amount alongside someone like Niko, it’s a lot less noticeable.
 
I know his numbers totally speak otherwise, but your comment about him being a Collins brother, I think, really hit the nail on the head of my lack of enthusiasm about him.

Yep. I wasn't joking either. Everything about his body (out of shape, huge ***), and lumbering up and down the court, with minimal vert, reek of them.
 
What's the story on Billy Preston? He appears to ooze talent but is so far off the draft radar that he doesn't even show up on mocks. Maybe we could take a flyer on him at 52?

He is really fast up and down the court for a guy his size. He doesn't lumber at all. He isn't out of shape either. By the end of the season he looked great.

He was 12.0% body fat at the combine a year ago. Those numbers are usually ******** (I remember fatass Deron being 6.0% at one point :rolleyes:) so it wouldn't surprise me if he was more like 14-16%. I doubt he got lean and cut (as he doesn't remotely look it), so yeah, I'd guess he's still somewhere around 10-11%...and he does run in a sort of lumbering manner.

Character concerns. There will be a very nice crop of undrafted players this year.

I was doing some research on Preston today am Gilles is right character concerns. He doesn't play defense either but as a project for the SLC stars I say yes.
