If we have picks 39 and 41, Miles Byrd is on the board and we don't pick him I'm going to throw a fit (with very limited exceptions, like Jase Richardson and Rasheer Flemming being there).
Been a pretty dull college season so far. Last year Kentucky with its bizarre rotations and play and Tennessee with Dalton Knecht were must-watches. And then UConn as they started rolling. This year just doesn't have any of that. Rutgers has two top prospects and they suck. A player like Jeremiah Fears is supposed to be electric but whenever I tune in he's invisible or just isn't that phenomenal. Sheppard/Dillingham were really entertaining last year.

I've been watching some film on Jase. I like it and I like his fit here. I expect him to rise into the late teens by draft night.
With the Hawks pick I like the following players:
Rasheer Fleming - PF
Ian Jackson - SG
Sergio De Larrea - PG/SG
Alex Karban - SF/PF
Miles Bryd- SG
All 5 players I think will be good to great 3 point shooters
Just another year where Duke will win it all.
The last time they won it was ten years ago though.
until they don't.
Fleming looks a lot like Naz Reid. Reid measured 6-8.75 barefoot with a 7-3.25 wingspan but wasn't a credible 3 point shooter until the NBA
Kalkbrenner, C Creighton, shoots 44% from 3 and 3.2 blocks per 36. Mocking #36 on Tankathon. Make it happen!!!
This guy didn't even pop up on my radar until you guys mentioned him in here. I like what I see - would be interested to see what his combine measurements are as he looks very long just based on his highlights.
Numbers pop off the page, and I'm not as worried about his main red flag which seems to be a poor ability to finish at the rim. But he seems like a decent bet to be a good 3 and D wing given his shooting indicators with the possibility of more given his handle. Can never have too many of this archetype.
Any slow bench players scoring 8 per game that Wright can wildly over draft and believe is a franchise player?
Who ever backed drafting Primo should have been fired or pushed out of any role regarding player talent
He kind of reminds me of Vassell which not bad for a second round pick?
Ian Jackson has been on a tear recently. He doesn’t do a lot of things great but he scores in bunches efficiently and could be a flamethrower 6th man.
If we trade back or with one of our 2nd's I like Tyrese Proctor. I think, at worst, he's a career backup at the PG spot. That's a good value at pick #25 or lower.
I think he's got a good bit of upside, but I don't think he's a top 15-20 pick at this point. If we trade back, the Nets maybe, I could see him being a target. I like the length and 3pt%. He is a fit next to Castle too.
Prospect Floating Around the Second Round Reveals San Antonio Spurs Wemby Wish
I like the idea of Dink Pate, a lot. TX kid and so young. If the work ethic and IQ are there, I could see him becoming something like a Cade Cunningham lite. Also, high bust potential. The fact that he wants to come here is worth something. Picks 21-30, I could see taking a shot. Early 2nd round is a no-brainer. At worst he spends more time in the G-League.
When I watched Jackson live I got major Lonnie Walker vibes (not in a bad way). Extremely athletic, microwave scorer, looked to lack attentiveness and concentration on the defensive end. The Lonnie archetype is useful, but common. I think Jackson would be a worthy pick in the 20s (similar to where Branham, also of a similar archetype, was taken). If it works out, you've got a nice bench scorer (which we need). If it doesn't, that's just typical of picks in the 20s.
Edit: I like his teammate, Drake Powell, better as a prospect. More of a 3&D archetype, but we do need that bench self-creator.
We already have a bench self creator. His name is Devin Vasseline (minus the self creator part).
In all seriousness I agree we do need that archetype. There’s just about 3 or 4 other higher priorities.
Anybody watched Sergio de Larrea? Any thoughts?
From the little I’ve seen, the offensive awareness pops off the screen. I’d rank him above Hugo and Saraf at the moment just because they all fit the same mold of x-factor guys you wouldn’t really build around even if they reached their max potential
I was watching a little video of him earlier and, like you said, he pops off the screen. I'm not sure what his defense is like, but there's a little bit of Manu flair in his game. Right now I'd probably have him 3rd or 4th on my PG board with only Harper and Jackucionis substantially ahead of him.
Cool. I too want to play with Wemby.
