Mike who?
He's built like oatmeal. He is super lanky and has wide hips.
The Dauminator.

Too bad. Could he have possibly secured a promise already? I don't mind this move, given his hiring of an agent already ther'd have been all sorts of unnecessary scrutiny of his game if he didn't perform well.

Daum is like an extremely ****** version of Henry Ellenson. I wouldn't draft him.
MPJ is declaring and hiring an agent - per Shams (not that there was much doubt).
Here's an article on Anfernee Simons with some video clips from his games:

I think they're going to like Jontay Porter, who is a legit pick-and-pop big, more than Wagner. For pure shooting, Dzanan Musa is another possibility.
Moritz is a 5 and not nearly as mobile as Mirotic.

Lonnie Walker is probably my sleeper pick this year. He looks like a legit talent; I could easily see him being viewed as a steal in hindsight. Great size, hops, quickness. Seems to have a good foundation of shooting and ball handling to build on. And he has that uncanny ability to contort improvisationally in mid air to finish around the rim. I also read somewhere (I'll post the link if I find it) that he scores in the 98th percentile in isolation situations.

I have a feeling the jazz are going to go after Dario saric hard in 2019.
With that said I am still a huge fan of Tillie, hachimura, and Justin Jackson.

I know he's a 5 in college but can't he play a 4 in the NBA? He's a pretty good defender (better than I thought he'd be). Can't he be like Dirk?

Should have just drafted him.
Nah, he's a bad defender.
Yeah, not sure Wagner can guard in space. Maybe like Kaminsky.

U could get away with Wagner at the 4 in certain spots. He can't be much worse than Jabari Parker... The Jazz have the premier eraser of defensive mistakes in Rudy, if there's anyone who can get away with these types of things it's them.
Wagner is the best bigman shooter on the board... Even if he's a defensive liability, he can trade 3's for 2's... He spaces the floor for Rudy's rim running... The Jazz are gonna be very interested, They liked Trey Lyles, this isn't rocket science...
Plus he's still relatively young, his athleticism will improve a good bit in his first few seasons.

of any of these prospects reports of Wagner's "ball-skills" in private workouts could really boost his stock.... this is something key to watch.. He has a handle, if it's as good as it looked when he dropped Nick Ward to the floor, or in their last game he had a sick behind-the-back dribble that left the defense in the dust, he's gonna fly up the boards...
He could be underrated in the way that Ryan Anderson (who I watched and looked fantastic in college) was in 2008, when he fell to #21, which some thought was a reach for sure.
Wagner is built to WOW in private workouts... I guarantee it..
