What's new

Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I'd be fine with Ty Jerome in the 2nd round.
Ty Jerome might be nice second round flier. He and not Kyle Guy is the guard that impresses me most on Virginia's team.

Also Culver is nice. The scoring ability is one thing... but he has some nice feel for the game and good vision and passing ability. I was trying not to like him, but he's winning me over. In fact, I think I like him more than any other wing right now(if we consider Zion a big). Yep... he very likely will be no. 3 on my board, when it's all said and done.

I didn't want to like Culver early in the year either- something about his shooting stroke bothers me. And not a great run/jump athlete. But he is winning me over as well. Looks like he could be a top 5 pick, 7 at the worst. I don't like him that much, but I'm not sure i could find 7 guys i like over him.

Overall, i think this is a good, deep draft, but a crap shoot after the top 3.

I don't like this draft and I don't think it's particularly deep. By the end of the lottery there are players that wouldn't have been in my top 30 in last year's draft.

About Culver... I haven't noticed anything weird about his shot. There is a bit of a delayed flick on his release, but nothing major I don't think. I wish he would fall to us or to a pick where we can trade for him... but I doubt it. IMO he will rise to top 5 by draft day.
 
DL will just draft Dylan Windler and have him playing alongside Grayson and Bradley next season for the stars. Or just trade the pick for another 2 season rental of a starting PG.

How sick are people here about passing on Mitchell Robinson for Grayson Allen? like 1-10 scale.. cuz I'd be near an 11 or 13 if I was frequenting this board more often..





I was vehement about both players too, had them both ranked significantly off the consensus and as y'all already know i'm vindicated.

some other fun Mitch Robinson numbers:

* He is on pace to become the first rookie ever to average more than two blocks per game while also shooting over 60% from the floor.

* He's the first player in NBA history to block more than 20 three-point attempts in a single season

Coming into 2018-19, only six players in NBA history had posted a PER greater than 22.0 during their age-20 season:
LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Anthony Davis, Andre Drumond, Chris Paul and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Mitchell Robinson's PER this season currently sits at 22.3

...last one

Per @bball_ref,

Over the last 40 years, only two rookies have posted a Box Plus/Minus (BPM) higher than Mitchell Robinson's current BPM of 6.2:

Michael Jordan (1984-85) and David Robinson (1989-90)

A rookie big who could backup Gobert and allow Utah to get a shooter instead of bringing Derrick back at $17m...which you know is gojng to and has to happen.

The Jazz have no other goid options because
Lindsey blew the Bradley pick. He then went for a Dukie with little ceiling in a desperate attempt to get additional shooting, because he was too cheap to use the MLE. And too unimaginative to offer 1yr contracts, like other GMs started to offer.

He may as well just sell this year's pick for $3m and at least use it on a player that has shown some big league ability.
