2019 NBA Draft

[Los216]

Barrett seems very derozen like to me. I don't think he will ever have a quick trigger jumper but he will smooth it out some as he grows into his frame. I like his playmaking potential and the way he seems to get results without seeming to have to work too hard. I love Zion because I grew up idolising Larry johnson. For me his ceiling is dependent on his handle. Watching Blake Griffin handle the ball and pass gives me an outline for how Zion fits in the league. Reddish has the stroke and great length of anything he makes it look too easy. It's a shame we have then all on the same team and can't see how they would do against each other

Derozan is one of the most prolific scorers in the league. Only KD, LeBron, Harden, and Melo from a few years ago can score in the many ways that he can. RJ Barrett does not have that scoring versatility. His lack of shooting limits that. His shot is so uncoordinated and the red flag to me is that it doesn't look consistent. I could see if he needs to work on it but it looks the same every time but it reminds me of LeBron shooting free throws. His shot has looked different and it's still early. that's a major concern.

He's miserable coaching these guys, I know that for a fact. But he loves winning and this is the path. He'll retire soon though, it's wearing on him.

He doesn't have to take them

That's derozen now... I'm talking about rookie derozen he was mainly straight line drives and mid range jumpers

He has to take them if he wants to win, which he obviously does.

Maybe this year's group is different. I know they've been working on their man to man in practice, so it sounds like these guys are at least willing to give it a shot, which is more than you can say for Bagley.

It sucks that we will not choose BPA because of our roster construction. I mean we may choose BPA, but is it the wise decision?

Let's say Zion is on the board, how does he fit with this team ?

You think Dan Gilbert will not take the shortest guy for his position? I think Gilbert and Lue will salivate over an all 6'5 and under lineup if they think they can do it.

Lol

Scary thought...

I don't expect them to make the right decision regardless -- doesn't mean that they won't -- and yes, Zion (even if he isn't the best player) might appeal to them more because he catches your eye.

I'm honestly really surprised to see so many low on Barrett. I love his tape, I think he's definitely the top prospect in this draft.

I really look forward to watching these guys in College. Said it in the tank thread but I plan on watching more College bball this year since I'm done with the NBA (other than the Cavs) until the next CBA.

Does anyone know how I can watch college basketball on replay? I want to watch everything. This year, I won't be able to watch it live unfortunately. And Synergy Sports don't want to sell me the video subscription.

If you have cable, I believe certain channels allow you to watch replays on their apps.

Europe here

There is ESPN Player...164$ a year. Ouch. Anybody has any experience with it?

 

[Adam]

Another thing to look for with Zion is this emerging jump stop drive he's flashed in preseason. He can cover a ton of ground, split defensive traps and if he develops his right hand finishing still score around rim protection. It will be interesting to see him develop

If we run into that situation then you pull a move like the Celtics did with Tatum. In this case we would be The Celtics and Reddish would be Tatum. That's an easy call. I would love to get #1, trade down to 3 for a team that wants Zion at #1, let the team at #2 draft Barrett, and we come away with the BPA who also happens to fill a need in Reddish.

That's my dream scenario.

Can't agree or answer that until they end of the season.

I guess? they didn't even try to clarify or give me a good reason other than "we don't provide this for deep dives customers".

When I said: "Okay. Is there a way to upgrade the subscription?" (I'm not currently subscribed)

They replied with "Sorry, not this time".

I don't think the support staff had any idea i'm an international customer. Didn't mention it at least.

It's frustrating because I was willing to shell anything and I said so in the email. I don't know how I will be able to follow the NCAA fully without it because I no longer stay up late at night to watch games. Had to fix that hsit because it wasn't healthy after doing so for so long.

Yeah they limit it to team staffs and media members. Unsure why... my best guess is due to their cost and saving themselves time from dealing with consumers who they know typically cannot afford it. And they don't want to post the price for the video service to the public.

But it's a few thousand for the video service IIRC lol.

Supposedly these guys are actually willing to work and play man to man unlike Bagley

I haven't heard anything about Bagley being unwilling, I mighta missed that during last year. They were just so horrendous at it either way lol. It started with Duval from the little bit I saw at the beginning of the year. He was awful at the point of attack. Hopefully this year's team plays Bolden sparingly and they go small - which would make it tougher to go to a zone like last year. It was odd how quickly they gave up on man to man last year though.
