That early leak out cherry picking action should work real well once they've got Ben Simmons back.

Tim really looks like an obvious plus athlete out there.

I hope he can lock down their starting SG spot for years to come.. Fultz would be insane on that team.. bring in 3'n'd players off the bench (and Okafor)

Fultz - Luwawu - Simmons - Saric - Embiid

I think I'm gonna change my "who'd I've have taken 12th" from Zubac back to Luwawu.
 
Vince Carter became the first 40 year old to lead his team in scoring in a game last night since Michael Jordan on the Wizards in 2003.
 
Just one more example of why you don't pass on teenage euros who are putting up numbers against grown men in those pro leagues over there.

He tested well as a youth player vs the likes of Harry Giles and Team USA too.. IDK how all those teams passed on him. Turns 20 next week.

He's so good tho this whats gonna happen;

3 year at like 3.5mil total or 3 even is his contract. In the summer of 2019 he's gonna just be like 22 and a half.. and on the market so he'll get at least starter $$ and recoup a lot of the lost draft $ on a 4-year timeframe..

Lakers might've been smart to try and stash him. He was smart to come to the states and play to get his rookie deal of of the way. They're gonna need to clear space for him.. Mozgov, Deng they've got another big ****ty contract that'll still be onthe books that year too.

A lot of good traditional bigs will fall in drafts for years to come because of how stacked center is becoming in the NBA.

This is pretty much why I have a hard time pegging John Collins in my top-20 at this point.

The flipside is ofc that non-traditional bigs will be reached for (Sabonis?)

Good point, and while many have been bigs- Jokic, Nurkic, Zubac, Zizic, you also have a guy like Saric- and to their credit and your point, the Sixers took him in the lottery.

Doesn't really need to be a primetime euro league either I think that 2013 draft proved that point beyond a shadow of a doubt.

This kid could end up pretty damn good he's a legit giant.
 
Caris LeVert is quietly having one of the better rookie seasons in the NBA.. Nets gambled on him according to prognosticators and mock drafts and it appears to have paid off in spades..

Versatile player, he plays defense, he's athletic, can do a bit of everything..
