Following potential 2015 draftees

Not what I meant, neither what I was saying. Just because you do something nice once or twice doesn't change a good scout's opinion. It just means that the scout will note it and look for opportunities for the player to replicate that move. And when a scout has less than 200 min of backup playing time material, he won't tell anyone that he's going to draft that guy. Booker's stock will be determined later in the season when his sample size is bigger.

Also players have nagging injuries all the time. Like a sprained ankle. At some point one backcourt player will most likely miss a game or two. And then Booker will take over some of that player's minutes and see extended playing time.

lol.. I knew what you meant.
 
we need to draft Booker just to see Boler and Browns heads explode trying to keep the two of them straight.

Nah, it actually just increases the chance they'd call a play correctly. With both on the court at the same time, when they say "Booker with the basket" that's a 40% chance of calling it right.

Does Booker play defense like Klay? Cause Klay plays great defense. Has very active hands.

He's been a very good defender. I wouldn't call him elite at this point.. but I am way more encouraged from what I have seen than discouraged.
 
Booker's dad enrolled him in Moss Point school system even though he lived in Ocean Springs. He didn't want Devin playing basketball with white kids (OS largely white, Moss Point largely black).

..and had nothing to do with following in his dad's footsteps (went to Moss Point) and being nearer to and more easily coached by his dad.

Not that there's anything wrong with avoiding future BYU players.

His dad lives in OS. Lives like 3 minutes from my parents house. He is a racialist.

in all seriousness I think the top picks could be better then the top picks from last year. I have to use could because it all depends on their desire and work ethic. last years class (one of the best ever) has been underwhelming all year.

okafor - will be able to score day one. if he learns to play defense will be special (see the if)
towns - seems like the complete package if he works to get there
mudiay - don't know a lot about them but pg can make huge impacts because they have the ball in their hands
porzingis - has tremendous talent but will he ever be strong enough to compete
etc.

it goes on and on. for being such a superior draft it has been underwhelming. I think that a couple of players from this draft will surpass everyone from last years draft
 
Recent Hezonja highlights. 9pts 1ast 1stl. Has a good looking shot and shows off his crazy athleticism at the end.

That first play shows really impressive athleticism. Mario had to run like a soccer player to catch up to the pass. He had to bend down and get the ball in rhythm and finish above the rim in two steps. There aren't that many players his size who can put that sequence together. I'd say Hezonja's athleticism is elite.

He also has really quick hands on that steal and nice timing on that pass to Lampe.

Seriously, I think he's an elite prospect, probably on the same tier as Mudiay.
