Yeah, his in-between game and his ability to create separation… that’s something special. Between him and Topic, the Spurs can’t go wrong.
I wouldn’t mind Collier.
Collier has that ball on a yarn skill that most point guards have and need in order to command an offense. The ball needs to be tethered and secured wherever the player wants to go on the court if he wants to have any chance to run a set play.
in regards to efficiency, it’s the same story as Keyonte George last year. Efficiency shouldn’t be the tell all, be all stat… Collier has skills that are appealing, namely his ability to get all kinds of looks. I’m actually impressed that he has some semblance of a post game— a skill most stars have.

Adem Bona has some Ibaka-lite vibes
You know what I hope for?
I hope PATFO decide to consult with WEMBY on possible draft picks.
I know...I know. But, they have't proved they are all that capable lately. I can't see any downside on talking with the Franchise about it. You want him to stay? Have him help build the team around him.
"Help" being the operative word. You'd have the option of taking his advise or not, if like...he wanted to draft all his school buddies. Don't see any downside in at least consulting with him about it. Which, I would normally take for granted they would. With PATFO? Who the knows...

There's only 1 ball. Don't need a shooter/scorer at every damn position.
Get an elite Defender. This draft has some great ones.
You get an elite defender down low...and our guards will never have to collapse on D again with Wemby and someone like DUNNdown there. Will be able to actually guard the 3 point line for damn change.
And 1 elite defender will help the other 4 more than you can imagine. Rodman couldn't shoot worth shyt...he has 5 Championships. He made Jordan and Pippen better. You get someone similar...and watch guys like Vassell, Keldon and even Tre's number go up. Big D guys, like Rodman...were excellent Pickers/screeners/REBOUNDERS on offense too.
Remember rebounding? lol
"But, the 'modern' NBA requires everyone be able to shoot/score." Total BS. Scoring is important. But, guess what...D is STILL important too. You STILL need both. And this is an awesome opportunity to get both. Don't pass it up.

Bona literally cant shoot. not that he's a bad shooter. he just cant.
but that athleticism is pretty insane
the blow-by at the 17 second mark of the vid above is pretty eye opening
We have two SRPs, ours and the fairly decent Lakers SRP. Although I think this draft faceplants really fast after the lottery, one of these non-shooting centers might be there in the high 30s. We really should have taken Trayce-Jackson Davis last year.
yeah almost like trading a high second in a deep draft for 2 future seconds was bad
what a weird player
he has a total of SIX blocks in 3+ years lol
Nice find. This is the sort of player I'd like to take a swing at with the 2RPs. We can only take on so many extremely raw and unpracticed freshmen. Getting some younger guys who actually know what they're doing might be nice.
I wonder if there is another college player with a defensive rebounding percentage of 32 and an assst petcentage of 29.
"I can play a Center at Point Guard? Get him Brian!"
With Collier, he has a bad A/T ratio, but I'm not sure if he has bad vision or more likely a loose handle, poor teammates, and an aggressive nature. I agree he shouldn't be discounted completely.
Tyrese Edwards at Kentucky. Another person to keep an eye on, especially if our Toronto pick slides and we still need a SF. Meaning, he's on a talented team and still has potential. I remember when Jaden McDaniel was considered a first pick then slid to like 22 and became a great defender and useful player.
Anyway. It's hard to make calculations sometimes with small sample sizes.
Men's College Basketball tonight
Kentucky vs Missouri at 6pm CST ESPN
Get another good look at up to 4 possible future 24 NBA draft picks. Going to see what Dilly is building up with
also duke against pittsburgh....Two potential first round pgs Proctor battles carlton carrington
14 Baylor plays 18 BYU 8pm CST ESPN+
For Walter scouts
On BYU side keep an eye out on Jaxson Robinson
i agree, my concern with collier is the size, the wingspan looks small and that will limit him a little bit in the big league.
Dillingham is eye popping
Creating his own looks on offense, drawing fouls attacking the rim, savvy passing to hit teammates in their spots
But also 2 absolutely brilliant defensive plays, hawking the ball out and swiping away for steals
Unbelievable stuff wow
Dillingham is dangerous downhill toward the basket, but seems to need to pound it to get going. He's also pretty small. I hope he's not another TyTy Washington, but his percentages are all better, especially his 3pt%. Kind of frustrating the two lottery projected Wildcats come off the bench.
can he throw lob passes tho
Haha good call but yes he actually did fit a few of those in tonight and connected one iirc. They looked on point
Wouldn't be surprised to take a look at Kyle Filipowski depending on where or if the Toronto pick lands.
