this! scola should come off the bench and give you 14 a night. I wish camby was 33 years old so the front court would be camby/d-mo/parsons.
I love Scola too, but it is time to move him out for youth. His value just high enough to where we could get a decent pick for him.
Top 10? Try top 5. He set a euroleague record for rebs and proved he can hold his own in a league playing against grown men in their prime, something that guys in the NCAA never had to do. Personally, I think he'd have been the 3rd best PF in the draft, after Davis and Robinson.
How often do offensively skilled 7fters that also are beasts on the boards ever fall out of the top 10 in any draft?
Not really. Motiejunas had three knocks on him draft day, and has answered all three: 1) He proved he is a good rebounder. 2) He bulked up a bit and added some muscle. 3) He improved his defense to a decent level. He's a complete player now. He is one of the top talents currently playing overseas, and he's just 21. I think he would go in the top 6 or 7 picks in this stacked draft class. Don't sleep on Moti... he's our best chance to improve short of a huge trade (which I still hope will happen).
I don't think he's ever going to be a plus defender, but he's not a pushover anymore, and does have the natural advantage of being 7 feet.
IMO: 1. Davis 2. Robinson 3. Drummond 4. Beal 5. MKG 6. Motiejunas 7. Sullinger 8. Barnes 9. T. Zeller 10. Lamb
if derek williams can be a top 2 pick, I here pronounce motiejunas as the third pick. and you guys wanted to panzer the season psssh.
He's listed everywhere as 7 foot. His arms are a little short compared to his body but he makes up for it with being 7 foot and having great hands.
