Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

Okay I don't know much about this stuff, but isn't Carsen Edwards a terrible defender, or at least projects to be one in the NBA? Why are we comparing him to VanVleet or Lowry?

Would the dude even see the court in a playoff series? I kind of like the idea of him, especially in a weak draft as a late pick. But these comparisons aren't making sense to me.

The kid is a gym rat. Its clear our FO likes him. He is already molding his game after VanVleet:

I like that we seem to like Edwards. Potentially explosive offensive player which we could really use. If we're going for more of a sure thing Williams/Thybulle would be my preferred guys. Would be quite happy with any of them.
 
Randle? That dude dribbles right, jumps up, does a jumping kick that will destroy someone's balls some day, and contorts to throw up a shot with his left.

I think ambidexterity is an interesting topic. I was trying to think of a legit all star level player who can't at least finish with his off hand at a decent rate. I couldn't think of one. Randle is on the fringe I suppose. Fox too I guess. There are some prospects in this class who can't go to their off hand at all really. Would make me nervous if I was drafting one of them.
 
Some good food for thought around draft time is the case of Villanova's Kyle Lowry. Who was part of a vicious three guard attack alongside former Jazzman Rando Foye (projected top-10 pick) and Allen Ray (not to be confused with Ray Allen)

The reason why I say Lowry is a good player t look back on is this; A wise man could have seen the fire in his eyes back then, and known he was gonna be the proverbial cream that rises to the top... and he was a projected 20's type of guy..


Pat Bev is a guy, 2nd rder, he used to actually be more of a SG in college ppl forget, but everyone loves pat Bev at this point most teams fanbases would welcome him with open arms.

Lowry is really levels even beyond that, to the point where he gets paid more and therefore is hated on by tons of fanbases.. The way he came out guns blazing in game 6 was great.


one of you will surely try to make some counterargument, probably post some tables with stats and avanced pooptrics. but old Jerry west, who many regard as the greatest exec ever to lace em up, has always subscribed to the "fire in the eyes" test, i guess it's liike that rocky themesong type ofdeal, if thAT SORT of thing does occur, Lowry had "it" , the eye of the tiger, and that was on display back in college. /endrant

good finals! wish Kerr would have used cousins a bit more tho. glad this didnt drag to game 7 tho with klay injured.

Thanks for the obvious, Captain Hindsight.
 


This are always kinda hilarious... let’s get some video of tony Bradley working out in an open gym and see how many shots he hits and if he can dribble.

I know Bol is a good shooter but people get so overhyped about a 2 minute workout video where a guy is going 1 on none.
 
**** it, draft Bol Bol! Throw him at the 4. If someone blows by him, we have Rudy to cover!

That’s not really how basketball works... what benefit do we get on offense playing him at the 4 that we don’t get with Jae or Royce?
