Following Potential 2018 Draftees

Donte D had almost the exact same height, wingspan, reach, weight, everything as Jrue Holiday did in 2009. Jrue Holiday is a max contract player, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and is key on one of the best teams in the league.

Jrue Holiday actually only had a 34 inch vertical. And oh yeah, Burke had a 36.5 inch vertical and he is a few inches shorter than Donte who had a 42 inch vertical at the combine.

Think before you make an assumption about everything.

Since when did jumping become a part of how tall your reach is or how long your arms are? Jrue can be undersized too. Donte is undersized. It's a weakness. Accept it and stop arguing stupid points you cant win.

Edit: Please look up facts before you say ****. Jrue had a 6'7 wingspan and a 8'4.5 standing reach. He is an inch longer and 3 inches of reach on Donte. Please bring facts. While Jrue might not be the longest PG horizontally, he is a tall PG reach wise, which helps him defensively when contesting shots.
 
Put me on the Spellman bandwagon. I liked his combine highlights. Active on boards/putbacks. Seemed to have some better passing with more spacing. What's his realistic draft position range, though? Seems I'd seen him mocked as late first rounder.
 
Evans/Okobo/Shamet are probably my favorites at #21, wouldn't mind Brunson. Think we could add some solid players if we move up into the early/mid second (Carter/Edwards/Clark).

20 ish to 35. No way he'd fall past 40.

I think he's a 2nd rounder (probably goes in the 40s). I could see him being kind of forgotten about and end up being there at #52.
 


Holiday is probably the best backup PG prospect in the draft. He does shoot it really well. You dont see many college players shoot above 41% from 3 for three straight years, with his last year being the highest on really high volume.

If he had a little bit more standing reach (8'1, which is pretty average for a PG) or was a bit more athletic (pretty average in that department, but he is a fluid athlete who looks like he can mover laterally on D) he'd be a pretty exciting prospect.

I can see why people like him. Phoenix has had him in twice already. He'd be a perfect fit there, even though it might be a bit of a reach, as he has proven he can play off ball when he played with Lonzo last year.
 
This thread is so freaking stupid it you think a player can't play because his wingspan is 1 inch shorter. Some of this breakdown is so idiotic.

Some of you morons wouldn't want NBA legends if you just saw their measurements.

Always thought Ayton facially kinda looked like some big cat like a panther or lion lol.

I wonder the price range of these Puma's, im guessing $85-$105 i bet their gonna be reasonable and meant to undercut the Nike price scale.

He has weaknesses:
Undersized 2 guard
Not an adept playmaker
Doesn't get to the ft line

My counterargument to these would be...

I do worry about his size but he uses his athleticism well to make up for it. He's not just an athlete in the gym. The athleticism shows on game film offensively and defensively.

His playmaking can be improved. He averaged 3.5 assists and 2.0 turnovers per game. He can clearly handle the ball and pass it. He just needs to work on those skills because he has very sloppy turnovers at times. Nothing that can't be fixed.

I feel like that was totally due to role. He was on a loaded team. I get the feeling that he was asked to focus on being a three point shooter coming off of Villanova's bench. So we didn't get to see everything he has in the arsenal. We saw that he had more tools than just being a shooter in the National Championship game and in the Combine scrimmages.
 
Does anyone have the green room invite list (19 players not including Doncic)? I heard Troy Brown, Dzanan Musa, Kevin Huerter didn't make the cut. Is that true? If this is true, then we pretty much know who we can pick from, if the green room invite is true to form.

Poster 1: Hey guys, I like his game but his size is a weakness.
