Flemings

OTOH...maybe this guy CAN make it to #9?? 

I sure hope so. I'd be THRILLED with a Flemings pick.

Jesus, he is huge.  Has a higher standing reach than Boozer and Wilson.  Not a fan, but teams will drool over these numbers.  He might be gone before 9.

Bigger than I thought.  6' 5" and 215 lbs.  Less worried about him playing 2 guard at that size.  

I'm a little surprised.  Most of these guys came out bigger than expected (except Flemings).

Don't let the following sound like asking out a girl, getting turned down and then going, "Well she's ugly anyway." But even before the Lottery I was starting see potential bust flags about the top four.

Yes, I can see Dybantsa as a star, but I can envision a world where becomes a one-dimensional scorer.

Yes, I can see Peterson being an elite scorer, but I can also see a Michael Beasley scenario.

Yes, I can see Boozer as a smaller Jokic type of offensive player. But I can also see him being, well, his dad.

Yes, I can see Wilson slowly becoming KG, but I can also see him just as Marvin Williams.

And, just like 1996, I can see a world where we look back and realize that the best players were later in the Lottery. So I feel good knowing that the Mavs have a real scouting department and not just Cuban winging it. So I'm not as depressed as I would've been had the Mavs struck out last year.

Well height and reach don’t determine who can play or not, but some great numbers for teams who don’t want to draft a guard in lottery.

Mara

I could see someone like Atlanta going for Mara's immediate impact. I think he's going to get some buzz with those measurements.

Stirtz is smaller that I expected, and Philon didn't impress either.

Cenac. These bigs are killing it

Stirtz

https://x.com/draftexpress/status/205394...52643?s=61

Less than expected. Wasn't interested anyway because I have real concerns about his motor. Saw some stats that compared 1st and 2nd half production and his dropped big time.

[mvossman]

Philon jr

https://x.com/draftexpress/status/205394...68668?s=61

Was not interested at 9 and this confirmed it.  Too small.

Matches the eyetest. But that could be the end of Tanner's first round ambitions. Not sure if returning to college would help him. Not like he is going to grow 2-3 inches.
