I think they would play off each other exceptionally well. I don’t like the idea of an undersized big man when we’re already small. That’s why I don’t want him. EDIT: Just looked it up and he’s listed at 6’9. Definitely thought he was gonna be like 6’6-6’7.

Wings and guards run the nba. Unless the big has all word talent then I’ll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our biggest need is a 3 & D wing. Obviously we aren't getting another LBJ, but we need someone that can be the dollar store version of him. Osman is so freaking out of control all of the time that it's hard to imagine him ever being a starter on a good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need a player to replace someone who is leaving. This team is still rebuilding. We need talent. Get the most talent perimeter player. You can always just sign a big in free agency.

They're always too expensive. ...and there aren't any great G/F prospects in the draft this year. It's Anthony Edwards (but he's a PG/SG hybrid, not a SF) and then a bunch of randoms. LaMelo Ball is interesting, but he's a PG and we already have a slew of guys that can do what he would offer. This is a draft where it makes sense to grab a big PF/C. I'd be all-in on Wiseman.

He got a promise suuuuper early in the process from the Clips, decided that's where he wanted to go, and shut everything down. Stopped doing private workouts with anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What gets lost in Zions dunks and athleticism is his IQ. He’s an exceptional passer with an incredibly high basketball IQ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 2 hours ago, OhioG said: unfortunately sga reportedly did not want to even work out for the Cavs Indeed, you're right. Prospects often shut-down their workouts whenever they get a promise. However, the idea that we needed a workout in order to draft a guy is frustrating as many top prospects never workout or even meet with teams.. All the stories and buzz around Sexton were that he came into the workout when morale was down and "uplifted everyone and lit the whole organization up." Stories abounded about how Altman and Gilbert felt his electricity and loved his work ethic. It was a feel good story, but really irrelevant when it comes to finding a longterm piece to build around. Sexton's issues were always how he plays and sees the game when on the floor with others not how he looks in an individual or small group work-out. We should've been confident selecting SGA workout or not, especially if the scouting was done right. I loved Sexton's mentality and athleticism coming out, but he was never going to grow behind playing with blinders on and he was never going to a acquire a next level feel for the game.

candyman93 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I refuse to believe Zion will bust. It’d have to be injury and not related to play. He’s extremely efficient and works his butt off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
