Bilal had more fouls than shots made last game. There was no balling happening. Just a lot of dumb fouling.

IF the Jazz do go Bilal I am confident they have seen stuff behind the scenes and done so much homework that I will be fine with it. I'm not going to root against a kid on our team. I will look around longingly at the other guys we could have had if he struggles.
Sounds like AK-47 in his pre NBA days.
Take Fino at 12. Sign Kuzma
JHS - Sexton - Dunn
Ochai - THT
Kuzma - Coulibaly
Lauri - Simone - Gay
Kessler - Jones - Carey Jr
Another Adam Keefe reference? He wore 31 not 47 by the way.
They said they want to maximize 2 to 3 years from now. That's projects galore this draft.
How can you say 100% when you have loudly been stating it's impossible Utah likes him at 9?
Look, I dislike Hendricks as much as anyone at 9, but I fully realize Utah may not be in alignment with me and there's a high chance he's the pick at 9.
Dang that is good and balanced and reasonable

not really. AK was one of the most productive players in euroleague playing for CSKA moscow back then.
Bilal probably has the best tip-dunk highlight package I have ever seen out of a draft prospect.
I will take my lumps if I am wrong about us drafting him. Just because I don’t think we will nor would I want us to at 9 doesn’t mean I won’t become his biggest supporter if he is the pick.
Euroleague has also dramatically improved in quality since those days.
Length helps a lot with his bounce
It's freakish looking. That ISO game is bad but I think it is fixable.

that is true. i'm not trying to downplay bilal by pointing that out. bilal for me is like a thompson twin. i just have no clue what to think - i know they have great size, length and athleticism, but have no clue if they are legit nba players in terms of skill level.
We just saw Bilal play a strong supporting role against a top tier Euroleauge team... It's not some hocus pocus thing. He wasnt great or anything, but he was out there holding his own.
I just dont get how he's a mystery when I think he is a pretty easy evaluation. Not that there isnt a wide range of possible outcomes for him, but I dont think the floor is all that low.
Milwaukee Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo is the perfect face of the league
After winning his first NBA title with the Milwaukee Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo will likely gain traction as the face of the league moving forward.

I was curious to remember how much Giannis weighed when he got drafted. Crazy to think he actually was lighter than Bilal when he got drafted. Bilal is about 5 months older.

Tbh - that would pretty much account for any of the top 10 players outside of probably Wemby and maybe Scoot. Everybody else is young and has huge upside. . . but it’s all about development.
