nikkas continue to sleep on cleanthony early...best player in the draft by far

I had Vonleh ahead of him all year. I also had Vonleh going top 5. I think he's AT WORST going 6 or 7. Most likely #5 after the big 4 (Wiggins, Embiid, Exum, and Parker) are off the board.

Gordon, Smart, and Randle have solidified themselves at the 6-8 spots.

I think LaVine is now also top 10.

lotta good players in the draft this year. its as loaded as advertised.

Bulls should be able to grab a good wing @ 16 with all that talent in the top ten

Who do you like going to Chicago? They own the 16th & 19th picks

The top 5 in the draft is clear -- Parker Embiid Smart Wiggins Randle

Ain't nothing to over think here. What's going in now is the wings in the draft are measuring and showing to be better athletes than expected, giving this draft real depth at that position. This Levine kid is more athletic than Wiggins.

no he's not. Wiggins agent said his vert measured out at 44". And I believe him considering the instagram pic we got yesterday. Add that to the fact Wiggins is 6'7" with a 7'0" wingspan, and he's the freak of freak athletes. I wouldn't be surprised if Wiggins is faster and more agile than LaVine as well.

LaVine is good, don't get me wrong. But Wiggins is a rare athlete. Probably the greatest combination of physical gifts since LeBron.

MCW went #11 in the draft and he's longer than Exum while being the better leaper and playmaker.

Keep pushing this Exum agenda tho. He's a solid prospect. Not a lights out one.

false. Exum = 6'9.5" wingspan, 8'7" standing reach vs. MCW = 6'7.25" wingspan, 8.5" standing reach

Exum is roughly 2" longer. so no MCW is not longer than Exum.

Dude his damn agent said that come on Breh..

Oh yea you the one that made that thread after watching one game right?

 

[Poitier]

Vonleh's explosiveness, length and ability to switch on guards was really felt on the PnR against Michigan (best PnR team statistically).

None of LaVine's athleticism is functional, in-game, in the half-court. I feel bad for the dumb team.

since Rose is a question mark, I'd take Ennis if he fell to 16. Ya'll need some offensive playmakers considering how dope you are defensively. I'd take a shot at Kyle Anderson. Long rangy 4 with PG ability. He'd be nice next to Noah. Has a nice jumpshot as well.

Thibs can probably also make him a halfway decent defender even with his athletic challenges.

 

[Momentum]

ESPN's Aaron Gordon thirst is real

Dude his damn agent said that come on Breh..

with how crazy everyone else measuring out. vonleh 37" vert. Gordon 39" vert. I can easily see Wiggins being at 44" considering how many times I've seen him dunk with his eyes above the rim.

I'm assuming he is an elite level athlete but judging by him not participating at the official combine I put an * on what's being said.

We need a shooter bad at one of those spots though

Im thinking Young if hes there is a no brainer, or Hairston, Hood maybe

LeBron didn't participate at the combine either. If his agent said his vert was 44", I'd believe it too.

To be fair I definitely can understand the skepticism but Tyler Ennis said today that Wiggins out-jumped the vertical test when they were 17 at the Team Canada camp. So a 44 inch vertical seems possible.
