What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Nuggets fans and journalists were losing their **** when they used their first-rounder on Fournier, cuz they thought that his body wouldn't be able to handle the NBA--

and they were wrong.

That's due in large part because he can shoot the 3's though.

That isn't why the Nuggets fans give a ****. It has mostly been due to his dribble penetration. Actually consider watching a couple of his performances. He has a very well-rounded offensive repertoire, which was initially deemed too soft to succeed.



All I am saying is that we should not discredit a European player's offense due to weight, or lack of North American experience. The dude looks like he has room in his frame in terms of filling out, and he is by all accounts a late bloomer.

I'd use pick 21 on him for sure. Mayyybe 14. Ideally id trade both for Burke.

O'Connor has definitely seen Schroeder play, but anyway maybe #14 is a little high. So, at #21 I am all in for Schroeder.

If you think he's good enough, and you want him, then you draft him when you can. If you think he's good enough, then taking the risk that he might not be there at #21 isn't worth it.

DP, oh yeah, all about that DP.
 
Givony saying Dennis Schroeder is standing out at the Hoops Summit. What's not to like about that guy? His defensive footwork is brilliant. I hope he has an awesome game on Saturday and declares.

God damn.
 
Just had a wonderful idea...With Dallas drafting before the jazz and possibly looking for a PG, they will seriously take a look at Schoeder. he is german as is Nowitski might keep him happy but he also might be the better option for them.

Hopefully pushing McCollum to us

The reasoning is a stretch. I think they take CJ because he is far more NBA ready to help Dirk out in his last couple good years.

Yeah not sure if Dallas is already sick of a Beaubois type player...
 
Alright guys, who's ready for this Nike Hoops Summit?!?! I'm early but let's get the ball rollin' ...

Guys to watch out for obviously includes:

- Dennis Schroeder: German PG who has declared for the '13 draft

Chad Ford:
Schroeder has been the star of the World Team in practices this week in Portland. Blessed with elite quickness, speed and a huge Rajon Rondo-esque 6-foot-7 wingspan, he been able to penetrate at will and has shown great improvement in his court vision. He made a number of terrific passes and showed he could stop on a dime, elevate and hit jumpers.

"He's never really played with athletes," one NBA scout said. "You see him figuring it out and throwing lobs and finding guys. He didn't do that in Germany. I'm really impressed with how he looks when surrounded with talent."

If he can duplicate what we've seen in practices against Andrew Harrison, Team USA's lead guard and a projected top-5 pick in the 2014 NBA draft, Schroeder will catapult into the first round this year.

Note:
I don't know which practice he was watching - but the one I watched on YouTube he didn't look that great to me. He wasn't making the long shots. He didn't pass well. Dribbled out of control at times with a few TO's. Let's just watch the game and see if he can step up.

Others to watch out for include:

- Sergey Karasev: Russian SG

Skilled lefty with passing skills and can get to the basket. Shot 49% from 3's.

- Mouhammadou Jaiteh: French PF/C

Measured 6-foot-11 with a 7-foot-4 wingspan. Good rebounder.

- '13 - '14 UK Boys

It goes without saying that they should dominate this game. But Wiggins is on the Int. team, so it'll be interesting.
 
Just saw one mock draft that has Utah taking Michael Carter-Williams at #14 and stashing Dario Saric from Croatia at #21 (both McCollum and Karasev were off the board before the Jazz' first pick).
Thoughts?
