Sleeper pick for second round.

Spurstalk will have fun with his name that is for sure! :D

[TXstbobcat]

Sounds like the name of a fraternity.

He's a climber. He jumped 10 spots in the latest D/X mock. He could be this year's Clint Capella.

He's really focusing on being a stretch big. He could use a year in Austin, but he might be worth the wait. Now projected as the 46th pick in the latest DraftExpress mock.

Sleeper pick for first round.

He's right in that wheelhouse of rangy athletic shooters the Spurs have been working out.

D/X latest mock has him at #32 overall. He also shares an agent with LJC. :smokin

The DX mock I just looked at doesn't show him at all. The Twitter feed on the front page says the 2016 mock has been updated with some expected international withdrawals. One of the two names that stood out is Timothe Luwawu. The other, Alpha Kaba.

Not sure if it's informed speculation or has been confirmed, but it looks like DX thinks he's pulling out.

Ah. I did a cursory sweep, and then went to his profile and saw 32, without looking at the year. Thanks.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Alpha Kaba and Timothe Luwawu are both withdrawing, via DraftExpress.

Updated and bumped.

Updated and bumped again. Love that quick-edit for thread titles.

Most interesting thing is that George de Paula isn't on that list.
