Luguentz Dort - 2019 NBA Draft Prospect

[timvp]

Luguentz Dort

School: Arizona State
Position: SG/SF
Age: 20
Height: 6-foot-4.25
Weight: 222.2
Wingspan: 6-foot-8.5
Draft Range: 22 to 42
Combine Results? Yes (https://stats.nba.com/draft/combine-anthro/)

Why: Imposing physical specimen. Muscular, fast, jumps well, quick feet and explosive. Drives hard to the rim and powers through opponents, which led to a very high rate of free throw attempts. Ferocious dunker when given daylight. Good enough ball-handler with good enough court vision. Was a stout defender as a freshman. Strength, quickness and anticipation on the perimeter gives him a high ceiling as a defender.

Why Not: His skillset would work better in the NBA as a power wing but he's only 6-foot-2.75 without shoes. Montreal native still very raw: fouls too much, turns it over too much, not always a willing passer and a poor playmaker for a guard. Advanced stats were ugly as a freshman and had more turnovers than assists. Shooting a question mark -- shot only 30.7% on threes, 47.2% on twos and 70% at the line.

Spurs Fit: A year in Austin would likely be in his future. With White, Murray and Walker around, he would be playing a lot of small forward.

Spurs Comparison - Ceiling: Devin Brown

Spurs Comparison - Floor: Melvin Sanders

Thank you TIMVP fr all the drafts profiles and analysis! Great to read! I hope you join the spurs coaching soon. You will keep the spurs competitive after the Pop era.

That's basically a pre-requisite to be drafted by the Spurs.

I do think whoever the spurs will draft will be someone like this guy that nobody is talking about lol

[gambit1990]

spurs should've drafted him over luka and weatherspoon.

Im confused why you are bumping this. Theyre not even playing tonight. Whats the context? What did he do?

he’s been playing fantastic defense on harden. especially for being a rookie and is a big reason why okc tied the series up. the game comes to him naturally.

He has been solid in the bubble, but the entire forum would have shit their pants if the Spurs drafted a 6'3 SF with no shot. we already have solid perimeter defenders in White/Murray, and this guy, while doing an ok job on Harden, is never going to be able to guard the top tier SFs like Kawhi/Durant.

[DAF86]

I haven't seen a single minute of this series, but he must really be playing great defense on Harden to warrant 30 mpg, because his offensive numbers suck herpes infested ass, tbh.

Thas the damn truth.

He's made Harden work in the bubble, for sure. I think it's bigger that he was good enough to get 23 minutes per game as a rookie, and while he's not a game-changer, he doesn't hurt the team like a couple of players on the Spurs' roster.

Analysts everywhere are analyzing how Dort has defended Harden. But if you've watched the games you have to have noticed that the zebras haven't blown as many whistles in Harden's favor. I just did a quick check - Harden is drawing about 1/3 fewer whistles per FGA, compared to what he normally gets. Not taking anything away from Dort, but good defense isn't always enough to keep the refs from blowing whistles for Harden. Bastard lives at the line.

he is. he isn't on the floor for his offense at all.

[Atl Spur]

Give me Luka.

:tu

and that was just game 3. dort was fantastic in game 4 as well.

[gambit1990]

this isn't someone who has been in the league for years, this is a rookie:

dude went undrafted. everyone missed him.

[Joseph Kony]

18 points so far in the first half of a game 7 :wow

[Joseph Kony]

it's almost as if rookies are actually capable of contributing something to a playoff team and don't need to spend years playing in the Gleague :wow :wow

[Robz4000]

Kid has been good all season tbh.

[phxspurfan]

Pretty amazing find by Donovan and the Thunder. Great since Roberson mightily sucks now

[spurspl]

im impressed how okc found this guy. They have shai, diallo and him. pretty nice and fast reload since pg13 and russ trade.

[Kurgan]

He would have been stuck in G-League if Spurs signed him

[wildbill2u]

Can make contested layups better than Murray and Walker????

[gambit1990]

42 points tonight.

I know his name is Dort but every time I hear his name I can't help but be reminded of this Simpsons clip...

42 points tonight.

I’m guessing no one even watches film on OKC these days, or game plans for them.

Took 31 shots
13 of the points came in garbage time.
Good find by the Thunder, but hard to know what his long term success will be based on this

Someone has to shoot. IIRC, there was only one other double digit scorer. They also lost by 20.

If i was the coach, i would simply let Poku take all the shots

This isn't just your average every day tanking; this is advanced tanking

[gambit1990]

Took 31 shots
and shot 51.6% from the field.

He took a little over a third of their shots
Granted he hit them-
I was wrong earlier it looks like 18 in garbage time.
