I like Pascal a lot. I think he played out of position at Villanova this year and was used poorly. When he has alpha scores around him he shines.

U are thinking of Eric Paschall.

Pascal Siakam played at New Mexico State for Marvin Menzies.

So who has a chance at becoming the next Pascal - and won't be picked by Utah cuz Lindsey once again needs a ****ing PG?

the thing is with Siakam, and was on full display last night, he's got all these Al Jefferson type of scoring angles, and he's super fluid and slippery type of athlete, not like Al at all...

He's completely abusing Draymond 1v1... That was ****ing GLORIOUS.. .then in the post game he says "I'm doing it for my dad"... If thats not what its all about, i shoulda spent my time on something else, but I'm glad I watch basketball, best sport around.

But the answer to your question, is Brandon Clarke... He's not that guy on offense like Pascal tho, with this vast array of moves, and Pascal's game was really forged in the face of double-teams, which is evident when u watch him play.... Siakam is gonna get PAID, Clarke is more like, in a best case scenario ur 3rd best player type of contributor.

I'll watch Nic Claxton more. He comes off like Bambi on ice skates to me, but I'll see what the buzz is about.

Check this out, and he knew for damn sure there was gonna be a ton of scouts watching cuz of Jaxson Hayes.

With Claxton, it's not any one thing that is gonna jump out and scream "this is the nba translatable skill" but what it is, is he's really got this intriguing blend of skills, or foundation for an intriguing blend of skills... That potential is there, if he can harness it, and how quickly, is the only question.

this kid is 10x the prospect Bolomboy ever was..
 
To piggyback the Siakam talk and his comment about his dad, here’s what I found from Wikipedia. The kid and his family sound like great people.

“Siakam is the son of Tchamo Siakam, the former mayor of Makénéné, Cameroon, and Victorie Siakam. His father died in a car crash in October 2014. To this day, one of Siakam's greatest regrets is that he was unable to attend his father's funeral because it occurred while he was waiting for the issuance of a new US visa.[1] His three older brothers, Boris, Christian, and James, all played NCAA Division I basketball in the United States[24]—Boris at Western Kentucky, Christian at IUPUI, and James at Vanderbilt.[1]”
 
Same here. He’d be a great pick-up somewhere in the second round. Heck, I’d even be ok with Grant Williams in the 1st round to go for the Tennessee double.

This picture makes me smile.
 
His name is admiral so I’m sure he’s really good.
 
I've said before that if Okpala is available at #23, the Jazz are going to be really tempted. I want a bit more upside, but Okpala isn't bad. He's athletic, just not super explosive or shifty.
