I wouldn't use a top 5 pick on him either, though. Draftexpress has him at #7 and looking at the people they have ranked under him, it seems like an accurate place for him to go. Obviously it depends on personnel but I really have NO idea how he'll translate to the league, but being a 7 footer who can guard positions 1-5 should give him a lengthy NBA career.
I say top 5 because I maintain Miinny might very well take him among the clusterfukk of crap in this draft.

He DOES have me reconsidering whether Dieng should still be here though.

As you said, I think WCS would be a really good fit next to a strong offensive 4.


I feel bad for Tyler Ulis. Kid would be a top 10/top5 pick if he the twins size :mjcry:

yeah, at least he could go round 1 when he's ready like Tyus Jones.

what's worse is that unless the Sabo Twins go nuts in the tournament, they're staying another year and blocking Ulis and Must See TV

I think the twins are gone regardless, their Dad will be the one making the decision..we have briscoe, matthews and malik newman (possibly) coming in next year, along with Ulis who is already here.

Speaking of which. Tyus Jones and Ulis had a pretty epic highschool battle

WCS because of defense alone with be a lotto pick

He can block shots and even switch out to guards on the perimeter

Even though he hasn't improved too much offensively

I've seen him hit 2-3 mid range jumpshots in the past 5 games though, which always amazes me considering how limited he is on that end. I think his post game is better than we've seen but he doesn't DEMAND the ball as much as someone like Karl-Towns who is very confident in his post game. But I've seen Willie hit some really nice hookshots and other moves in the post over the years. But yeah, his defense is just nuts, 7 footer that runs as fast and moves like a guard. Very unique player, not many like that in the league.

Dakari Johnson looks like Tommy from Paid in Full, the dude who murked Sonny
I thought he would be our best post player this yr but he has kind of got lost in the shuffle....his bodyweight/endurance is so much improved, He seems to get hacked a LOT downlow and refs don't seem to call anything

Yea I''ve seen him make some moves in the post this year...but he doesnt seemed engaged on the offensive end at all.
Rarely posts up to demand the rock. I do think hes better than hes shown at creating his own offense
