It's not what I meant. I was actually listing guys that could surprise me.. that I don't particularly like.

Thon projecting 2nd round seems ludicrous.

He's tall, long, elite athlete, and has a great skill set for his size.
I think his floor is elite rim protector and rebounder. His ceiling is most dominant stretch 5 in the NBA.

There's your fence to swing at.

And why I like trading 12 down to Phillys 24 and 26.

I'm not an exercising expert, but does Maker's frame support enough weight/muscle to play Center?
 
Joking aside I would LOVE to see Maker on our team.


Favors
Maker
Lyles
Hayward
Exum


Now that is a long and skilled line up. Every player can handle the ball, can pass and can shoot the ball.


Then our FUTURE aka GSW-lite lineup (where they play Green at Center) would be:


Maker
Lyles
Hayward
Hood
Exum


Everyone can handle, pass and shoot the long ball. Defensively long at every position. Extremely versatile offensively and defensively. That is a lineup that I for one can get excited about watching in 2-3 year's time.

NBA is diluted however. It is no act. Simmons couldn't even get his team to the NCAA tournament and he had other nba players on his team. I think Simmons could end up being just average. I do not seem him being a leader and number 1 option.. Id take Ingram number 1

He has bust written all over him. I hope he goes to LA.
 
I think Timothe Luwawu could be an upgrade to Burks. He may have the body to withstand more NBA falls/hits as well.
I like his shot more than Burks. Really creative, and powerful finisher at the rim. Can hit the 3. Plays good D.
Seems to have a good feel IQ for the game, loves to get teammates involved.

Alec has already done well in the NBA so this is a leap of faith. Luwawu has the potential to be a more complete player which
doesnt mean that much. I trust our scouting team to check out these Euro players. So far he's on my short list.
There are at least 4 players in our range which I believe can make us better. I hope Korkmaz and Luwawu come in for workouts.

Lyles at the 3 is awful. Why would you do that?

Maybe because he played the three in college, is a great shooter and floor spreader, can handle the ball and pass. In other words he has the skills of a wing in a bigger body.
I'm just guessing at why he had lyles at the three but those seem like decent reasons why you could play him there.

3's in college and very different than 3's in the NBA. I wouldn't do that at all unless it was an extreme circumstance.

It takes away all of Lyles advantages at PF if you play him at the 3.

I was just saying some reasons of why triple I would put him at the three. Not saying I would do it. I do think he could play the three though because he has the skillset to play the three. I think his biggest advantage is at the 4 though.

I do think he has the size and agility to match up against big threes like melo, bron, and Paul George (when those guys play the three) too.

Again, it's not bad in spurts but Lyles biggest defensive weakness is lateral quickness and those names you mentioned, would torch him with a fake and then hard drive to the rim.

If Slow Mo Anderson (Spurs) was playing the 3 then I'd run Lyles at the 3 just to see if he'll try and dominate that match up.

He wasn't even that good at the 3 in college.

Right now he doesn't show a great post up game or strength, so by putting him at the 3 you're eliminating his mismatch skills. He's not going to blow by 3's, but they'll blow by him. Just picture him guarding Bron, Hayward, Durant, or even Joe freaking Ingles. Lyles is a 4, not a 3. He should never play 3.

Dude. They would torch him. He couldn't keep up with college wings, he's not keeping up with those guys.

I think Dunn will go 5th to Minnesota. One of the few lottery picks to show up for the Combine. Said he was there mostly to support the guys he's been working out with in LA, and to support his teammate Bentil.

Here's a short video describing all he's been through to get to this point in his life....
