Kuzma can definitely improve his stock if he can show he's a better shooter than the stats imply.

What changed from last year? You loved him and he improved a ton this year.

I just like other people better.
Did he tear an ACL like Giles or something like that? Is he still a virgin when it comes to the surgeon's knife?
Because it's interesting to me. I'm just curious if teams will have to weigh injury history into their decision when it comes to him...

Extremely doubtful he's on the board. He's also longer than Saric. I say he's a pure 3. His game is more based on finesse too. Really nice prospect tho.

This is not even remotely close to true. Some teams will look at Leaf and think of putting him at PF and his handle is definitely better. I'd also say Giles has a better handle, Hartenstein, Jonathn Isaac when at PF, and and OBVIOUSLY Lauri and DJ Wilson...
Also Cameron Oliver doesn;t have a better handle but theres no way I'm putting Kuzma higher than him on my board.

[MENTION=501]ncoloradojazz[/MENTION] where you at, I've got a serving of crow for ya. Derrick White is now projected #39 by DX.. I spotted it pretty much right away.. Shame on you for hating on this kid with this legendary story.

Nah, that'd be a reach (unless he does blow up at workouts) like I said before he's like Christian Wood, who could really fool ya if u watch him in the right setting. Not a 1st rd talent. He's got real upside tho. would be very nice value in the 2nd..
there's no doubt bigs are going to be falling in this draft.. they're getting in early because next years bigs are sooooo top-heavy..

Kennard isn't slow with the ball in his hands, he uses misdirection masterfully, he's got a ton of tricks up his sleeve(it's EXTREMELY unlikely Hornacek was anywhere close to as POLISHED as him going into the NBA) and also don;t discount that he's a lefty, he gets to his spots. This is pretty much why it'd have been asinine for him to return..
Just look at a player like Ron Baker on the Knicks, he was starting for them, became a crowd favorite. Cool Hand Luke is a vastly superior prospect.
Luke has very real "scoring instincts" one could argue they're pretty much top of the charts.
I'm skeptical that this years Ingles could shut down prime Kennard (in a few years) the way that he did JJ, there'd be the awkwardness of the lefty on lefty matchup tho, which would work int he favor of Luuke.

Yup, especially if he could figure out how to run point, that'd really be something to see. Him and Rudy would be some kind of book ends.
Too costly tho.

Little birdie (not PKM) told me Hamidou Diallo will be staying in the draft, and he's not all that concerned about if he lands in the first or 2nd..
Perhaps I'll find the video later but I would post the one where he viciously blocks Josh Jackson in HS if I could. I posted that Video here the second I saw it.

Motley in the 1st round? Mmm, no. They're saying we'd pass on OG, Kurucs and Mitchell for Motley.
FWIW, they also have Hartenstein going undrafted, so...
I think Motley is going to have a hard time getting into the 1st round. He wont be able to do many workouts or participate in the combine due to his injury.
