Thoughts drafting him 2nd round
He's developed very nicely in his college career and really shined this year in Nova's Final Four push. He's athletic and has an extremely polished offensive game. He's very good in the pick and roll offense and has range out to 18 feet+Originally Posted by dav7z
My biggest concern is his size. He's more of a tweener type at 6'8 (I think) and isn't really big enough to play the PF position in the NBA unless he's with a big Center--which we don't have.
Brown said in his work out if any player was a Lynch type this guy is . I understand with his size how he could be considered a tweener. But 8 boards a game and his hussle. On both sides of the ball . And the lynth, he has got Brown calling him a garbage man . Brown said hes been watching the kid for a few years now and loves the way he goes about a game. Brown all so said with his fast first step he could guard some threes and most fours. He might not be a bad 2nd round pick up.
I like him. He's long and smooth and can play with some power. He reminds me a little of Hakim Warrick.He wouldn't be my 1st option with the #40 though.
Good comparison , Who would be your top choice with that pick,

They dont seem too high on him. Have you seen anywhere else where they project him near #40?
Draft Express has us taking him with our second 2....highest (I think) I've seen him is 47...
Jeff Adrien or Taj Gibson (assuming we go with a wing at #12)
or
Dionte Christmas or Wayne Ellington (if for some stupid reason we didn't go with a wing at #12)
slam I've got nothing against Adrien or Gibson but for flex (4-5) I'd consider Heytvelt with our first 2 also...but I do like lots of things about Gibson I just doubt he'll be there at 40...
To be honest with you BRNC I didn't take a lot of notice of him when I watched Zag games in the past or this year. I could understand that his shooting ability considering his size would be an advantage but he doesn't have a great motor or defensive skills.
I like Adrien a lot. I think he'd give us some grunt and grit in the 2nd unit. He's be a great intimadator and energy guy for us IMO.
