yeah i think its mostly the injury and also that the injury caused him to miss most of his freshman season so teams havent even really seen him v college level competition
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 22 June 2018 00:48 (five years ago) link
his back must be really fucked up, bummer
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 22 June 2018 00:49 (five years ago) link
he had a hip thing too, teams think it's related to the back thing

Man I was on board for trae young but not over Doncic. I knew this was gonna happen
― Heez, Friday, 22 June 2018 00:57 (five years ago) link
its not exactly over doncic i mean they likely got another top ten pick out of it (tho i doubt theyd do this deal if they didnt like trae better)
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 22 June 2018 00:58 (five years ago) link
if dirk and doncic dont become bffs this is all for naught

honestly know nothing about college basketball but seems like it's hard to get better upside at 14 than porter, I'm happy

yeah you can take a flyer at 14.

hmm feel fine about this guy the celtics got at 27
Pre-Draft AnalysisStrengths- Prototype physically. Explosive athlete who covers ground unbelievably and is incredibly fast off his feet. Tremendous lob target. - Great defensive potential. Blocks shots on the interior and perimeter; switches onto smaller players. No. 1 rebounder and No. 3 shot-blocker among likely draft picks on a per-minute basis. - Better passer than you might think. Has some upside as a shooter.
Improvement areas- Doesn't have a consistent means of scoring. Plays very sped-up and settles for jumpers more than you'd hope. Feel for the game is a major work in progress. - Doesn't always make the type of impact defensively he should. Relies too much on his talent and tools. Bites on fakes. Doesn't box out. Rarely keeps his blocks in bounds. - Boom-or-bust prospect. No question about his talent, but there are concerns about his motor and overall approach to the game.
Projected role: Rim-protecting, vertical-spacing center
6-10 230lb explosive athletes who cover ground unbelievably and are incredibly fast off their feet didnt used to fall to 27

So I wonder what the hawks can get for Schroeder. Is vucevic any good? Orlando needs a pg bad
― Heez, Friday, 22 June 2018 02:37 (five years ago) link
vucevic prob best in a back up role due to his bad defense, he can fill it up otherwise tho
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 22 June 2018 02:39 (five years ago) link
i like that trade tho schroeder feels like a good magic lol
― sprout god (lag∞n), Friday, 22 June 2018 02:40 (five years ago) link
bunch of weird lanky guys just running around throwing up bricks
makes me wonder whether the blazers are anticipating creating the hole they filled?

re: robert williams, the fact that he shot like 40something % from the line isn't great, but they can def use a big man and in addition to being ranked in the lottery by some guys he was the last big man for like 30 picks. also likely keeps them from looking at dwight howard so all in all i love it at #27.
