I just hope we are not in a spot where I have to care about Traore vs. Fears. . .

If Noa really weighs 194 lbs, then he's 15 lbs heavier than Cody. He's like Bilal Coulibaly from a couple years back. I'm not all that excited about skinny guys either, but if you look at Noa's combination of age, measurables, steals and EFG%/TFG%, then empirically he's a high-level prospect.
Cody is 190
Fears had a big scoring game, but was 2/11 from 3. He's got to make those.
I wish. He listed at 190 lbs all year at Colorado, and he's currently listed at 190 lbs. At the Combine, he was 178 lbs, which, to be honest, was a red flag.
If there's a solid lead guard prospect available with the Twolves pick (and assuming the Jazz didn't draft Harper with their own pick), the Jazz should consider it. I don't think they're sold on either Isaiah or Keyonte as a lead guard at the moment. Traore might be there. Sergio de Larrea is interesting as well. Fears is probably gone in the top half of the 1st round.
Hes listed at 190 per ESPN. They take those at training camp at some point. It's the more accurate weight.
Like I theorized before. I bet Cody cut weight for the combine to make his athletic testing more impressive then gained it back for the season.
I was thinking about The Wheel today and it's so depressing the NBA hasn't adopted it yet. It's the best fix to tanking and it would make being a fan of a "treadmill" playoff team exciting.

Toppin got his share of abuse in himself. and it should be noted Omier is about 4 years older.

Kon is going to be fun to watch without Flagg. Such a great basketball player and really has a chance to shine as the #1 dude. I might take him as high as 5 which is crazy considering his lack of athleticism and length.
It's just weird because he's the type of prospect who usually goes in the 20s, but I think he's probably better than Kasparas at this point.

I was thinking about a luke kennard comp, which is lazy (white wings from duke), but i also think it's appropriate. i do like Kon better as an overall basketball player - i think he's a better scorer from inside the 3 point line, has better feel as a passer and is a better defender. he's been much better than freshman kennard at Duke, where kennard exploded as a sophomore.
tangent. in checking Kennard's NBA production (12th overall pick after his soph season) to see if a rich man's version would be worth taking as high as 5 or 6, I noticed this:
Kennard's 3pt% per season starting his 4th season in the NBA:
45%
45%
49%
45%
46%
Good hell. that is insane 3pt shooting greatness and consistency. however, that's pretty much all he does - his 3pt attempt rate has been between about 65% and 80% over that time and has rarely averaged double figure scoring.
