JMG5 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Watching some stuff about Kira Lewis Jr. and I really like what I see. He just needs to put on some weight and he should be able to contribute year 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet a decent amount that Killian Hayes winds up being the best player from the draft so that was great value at #7. Isaiah Stewart at #17 was a huge reach, I like him but that was a pretty meh pick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding some more shooting on the wing for sure, never a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks very fast and isn't bad from deep. Looks like De'Aaron Fox lite (not as explosive) with a solid jumper to me. I hope you're right and he will be one of the best players from this class because I have no faith in Lonzo at the PG for us. 😂 Edited November 19, 2020 by JMG5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox/Schroder mixture is a nice comparison for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing night for them acquiring Richardson, Green, Terry, and Bey. Terry and Bey were two of my favorite prospects in the class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really athletic enough to be a small ball center, doesn’t provid rim protection. Kind of feel like we just drafted Rick Mahorn . Really could have been a great spot to swing for the fences on the Serbian kid or even Hampton. Love the Bey pick great value there. Killian is a solid pick, i was hoping for Okoro and would have taken Advidja given who was available there but I still like the pick and just plan on trusting Troy Weaver for now, see what he’s got.

FinSting Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just saw an ESPN story about Ball and Charlotte GM Kupchak said Ball has a "flare to his game." Come on ESPN the word is FLAIR not flare. And this is Charlotte, you HAVE to get this word right because that city is home to Ric Flair.

amac Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 After reading a bit about Kira I love the pick. Definitely has the skill set of an NBA starter/key guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need to do that now. He's only a rookie. Keep Capela for a year or 2 then unload him. They need to trade Dedmon though. Boston would be interested I'm sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of Stewart, I think if he reaches his ceiling he's probably a Derrick Favors type of big. But more likely just a solid undersized backup center. Robert Williams from the Celtics is another good comparison, I think he has enough length (7'4" WS | averaged over 2 bpg in college) and athleticism to be a pretty good rim protector. Saddiq Bey will be one of the best role players from the class and is the type of glue guy that every team needs. And I absolutely love the Hayes pick and I think there's a nice possibility that he winds up being the best player from this draft when it's all said and done.
