Going Commando Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 This is brutal: http://www.tankathon.com/players/cam-reddish And yet they still have him ranked 6th on their board. What do the Emperor's clothes that I can't see look like with this kid? I'm going on record as a Cam Reddish hater. I watch him and see Rodney Hood as his best case scenario.

Speculation is they’re going to move that one as well. 24 minutes ago, Hersh said: Cleveland would never go for that. Clev stinks, but we could get a lot more than that for Beal from a team that wants to compete next season. The Knicks want Beal to help entice KI & KD, I’d take everything I could get from them and be done with fighting for mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the talent at 9 and the fact that he hit over 77% from the ft line, but I didn’t realize he was nearly 20 already. 🤨 The other prospects all talk about him like he’s the best player they’ve ever seen, I take that into consideration, perhaps more than I should.

StillUnknown Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 can't shake the feeling that Little is going to end up being the pick. He checks that "even he doesn't pan out, we can say we drafted a high character guy" box. Local state media who cover the team will be able to gush about the maturity and him doing the little things in practice, even if he never actually contributes to games. Last thing Shep/Leonsis want to do is draft a potential head case when they already don't have a GM to blame if it goes wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beal attended Little's workout and apparently loved it. Which brings me to another curiosity. He apparently shoots really well in workouts. How come his long range shooting was so mediocre at UNC?

In that video I posted, it seems he gets caught between a jumpshot and a set shot at time. He doesn't really have a good feel for the game on offense, some of his misses were bad, like airballs and side of the backboard bad.

Short & long are the only acceptable misses, if you work on your shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings me to another curiosity. He apparently shoots really well in workouts. How come his long range shooting was so mediocre at UNC? Fred Katz said that he worked with a shooting coach or something and they changed his release point. They said it was too close to his face before, or something like that. Diagnosed that was his problem at UNC, and the draftniks say he's been shooting well in the workouts. I don't know... shooting can be improved, but I wouldn't expect lasting improvement from a couple of months of work. There is also a difference between being a respectable and consistent shooter of open set shots after years of work, and being a born shooter. I wouldn't expect Little to ever become a next level shooter. But who knows? There have been instances where guys have become vastly better shooters before.

SuperBash Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Now that NO has the 8th pick, they might take Hayes since they don’t really have a decent 5. Could push Reddish down to Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course without a long term plan theres no way to expect us to try to leverage that both the Parker and Mahinmi contracts are expiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Other teams making moves trying to improve... Ted has swung and missed on 2 (don't care what the reports say, you know he wanted Ujiri) GM candidates... No plan for this team's future. Maybe they luck out in the lottery next year? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 so whats the over/under until we actually hire a GM/president of operations? Ted said not before free agency which is july 1 I believe.

volsmet Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Hawks moving 5 picks already, Washington doing nothing while far better teams are aggressively pursuing 2nd rounders. Ted needs to get out of basketball, nobody wants to work for/with him other than weekendaternies. Last years 2nd rounder wouldn’t get time in a 30 team league of ESers.

Fergasun Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It's all a crapshoot. Steph and Klay weren't Top 3 prospects. Draymond not even a lottery pick. Giannis and Khawi both picked 15. I laughed when Westbrook went 4th... he barely scored 10 points a game at UCLA. The road to even journeyman NBA level is fraught with potholes, be it injury, motivation, and focus and everyone can pretend they got it right now... but when the going gets hard. Gonna root for whomever joins the franchise, but I will assume they are destined to be Jarvis Hayes or Jan Vasely.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volsmet Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 T.J. WARRENPF, INDIANA PACERS The Pacers have acquired T.J. Warren and the No. 32 pick in the draft from Phoenix, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Indiana will take Warren into their available salary cap space and send cash back to Phoenix. This was a pure salary dump for the Suns, who wanted to clear a logjam on the wings while getting rid of the three years and $35 million left on Warren's deal. The Pacers only have Doug McDermott under contract at the SF position next season, and Warren's arrival gives them some insurance if Bojan Bogdanovic leaves in free agency. Expect plenty more trades as draft night heats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking Skins Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Enjoying the discussion here as always. Just wanted to drop a link to some potential guys in the G-league https://www.ridiculousupside.com/2019/6/20/18693746/twenty-g-leaguers-that-could-get-two-ways-this-summer-ochefu-warney-jones-sibert-randolph I have no real thoughts in the draft other than we need more picks and talent. Maybe we can find some guys in the G-league to help fill out the roster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
