Are we going to pretend LeMorey won't try to get a second rounder in this draft? I'm still looking through the possible picks, mainly possible centers....first off, anyone have any insight on Ognjen Kuzmic? He's 7'1 231....obviously the comp in this video is poor, but looking at his invidual skills, his speed and lateral movement seem solid, moves are fluid, shooting touch is there...it appears his issues are polishing his offensive moves and gaining some more strength/weight. Given that he's decribed as nimble and high motor, both are realisitic improvements. Could he reach a production level similar to Gortat's? <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eh_AtCNZJaI?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eh_AtCNZJaI?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
And my very first sentence in the OP should kill your post: Trade for or buy, like they've done before. There's also Festus Ezely, who's 6'11. Possibly DeAndre Jordan 2.0? He's coming off an injury and suspension, i know, not a good sign, but shouldn't be anything that lingers. Sounds like he could be flying under the radar because he's seen limited time this season. <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UOBYpDJu5A0?version=3&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UOBYpDJu5A0?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
We should be able to buy #46 from Washington and select Gonzaga C Robert Sacre. He's my guy in the 2nd. Also like Iona PG Scott Machado. Very turnover prone, but TREMENDOUS upside.
Correct me if I'm wrong but 2nd rounders are going to be a lot harder to come by than in years past. We can't buy a bunch of picks like before because the new CPA has a limit of money you can spend on the draft.
There are currently two guys who are in the 2nd but will be in the 1st come draft night. Kyle O'Quinn and Will Barton. Everything is up in the air from 12 on through 45.
I'm still surprised no one has taken a flyer on Lucas "Bebe" Nogueira. 7' tall and athletic, but extremely skinny. Last year plenty of people brought him up in draft talk, but I haven't seen any posts here or tweets about him recently. Can't wait for the official draft thread.
Tomas Satoransky - Look his up on nbadraft.net This guy sounds awesome. It was written last year. I would love to see an updated report on his progress this year. I have a massive fetish for big 6'5 + PGs. I really want one (on the team).
Plumlee looked really good in his workout...he handles the ball very well for his size and showed more range than expected......he may end up going late in the first though, instead of early to mid second round.
