Following potential 2017 draftees...

I think Kennard is gonna be on the board and I think he's gonna be good. Cool hand luke is perfect for this Utah squad.

They can afford to have some non-defenders on the squad, look no further than Diaw or Iso Joe, so lets say 2.

Kennard can occupy one of those spots (if I was running ****) anyday. Like I said before he even got to Duke, I do think he's gonna be better than JJ Redick.

I prefer Luke over Rashad Vaughn who I had top-20 years back.

He represents very potent and reliable offense, I dunno how people wouldn't be head over heels for him in Utah, he's perfect.

The last lefty SG they drafted from Duke turned out pretty well.. I'm damn sure Kennard is gonna be high on Utah's board.

This is a solid post. It would be a dream scenario if he was on the board though. I'm just saying he probably won't be.

Kennard may never be a plus defender, or even average, but he's 6'8" isn't he? He can play a role like Fournier or Bogdanovich. He can do enough with the ball to use space well, and he's a good passer.

He might be able to handle the ball at the top like Hayward or Mike Dunleavy.

He's 6'6" and alligator armed (like Redick).

He's 6'6"with a wingspan to match. U're spot on about the sentence I put in bold tho.

And actually I could see a little flashes of Dunleavy or Hayward, he's very sound fundamentally, can't afford wasted movement.. He's definitely not just some stationary shooter.

I think he has a little better athleticism than people give him credit for but it's a fair point. My main point was something that you hit on. Some team will fall in love with his shooting and take him before either one of our picks.

The Nik Stauskas syndrome...

I'm not good at picking who will be good and not... I know who I like and that just sticks out for me. I like shooting but I want either good size or athleticism with it.

I actually think Grayson Allen might be a decent pro and is a better value where he will go... can do more with the ball and is a decent athlete... he is a world class douche though so that may make it hard to root for him.
 
In the 20s Kennard is worth the risk but outside of JJ I can't think of anyone built like him having a lot of success. Dunleavy is like 6'9" so that's not a great comparison at all.
 
I have a sleeper SG pegged near the top of the 2nd rd thats taller, younger more explosive and longer than Kennard and can really shoot it too and has range well beyond the NBA 3.... He's gotta be the player I've got ranked highest vs the consensus on the recent mocks..

Huerter's also is a former PG that outgrew the position and was often leading Maryland in assists down the stretch this year.

No highlights of his passing, I swear he's legit tho. Hopefully someone throws together a proper highlight mix, MD fans certainly have the energy to spare.

Here's Lonzo's response to LEBron possibly mocking his shooting form.

“I have no problem with it. That’s my favorite player growing up. He’s shooting like me, I’m not shooting like him, he’s shooting like me, so I smile … I’m not gonna lie, LeBron’s my favorite player. He is. I respect Kobe too.”



U know Lakers fans hoping for Lonzo gotta be extra salty about the LeBron's my favorite player statement.

He also said he'd rather play for the Lakers than go #1, because he'd get to stay with his family.
 
LaVar also said some racist **** about UCLA losing because they had too many whiteplayers and therefore lacked footspeed.

I've defended his tactics in the past but this latest statement is completely unjustifiable. Forget even the racial element, he's just burning bridges and using his spotlight to throw people under the bus, kids included.

Yet another example of $$$ not being able to buy ya class..

@NateDuncanNBA
Michael Porter absolutely dominating this scrimmage so far.

@NateDuncanNBA
Michael Porter had the best single day of practice for any player I can recall in the 4 years I've been coming to @nikehoopsummit
 
It feels like LaVar is just establishing himself as a media annoyance so he can eventually threaten teams not to draft Lonzo so he can be drafted by the Lakers.

It's certainly fabricated. I have a nose for scripted sensationalized BS, this is certainly that, he's not that slick tho, many have been fooled but not all of us..

He's providing a stark contrast to Lonzo, thats the goal. I'm sure LaVar tells Lonzo all about what a genius he is nightly.
 
Kennard is more like shorter, less athletic Hayward and not like Reddick IMO.

I like him. Not sure just how bad he will be on D. Seemed PRETTY BAD in college.
