 Impressive in his first game with Kansas. He looks to be a great backup plan with the Brooklyn pick if we don't strike gold with a top four pick.

 This kid might be at the top of the next tier of prospects. 6'9" with a 7'4" wingspan 9'1" standing reach.


 Not super explosive jumping off two feet, but very agile and fast for a big guy. He outworks people and has a motor that does not stop. Very good fit for those reasons, also extremely flexible, should help with rebounding and finishing. Giant hands.

 A very interesting prospect hard to find a good comp. Kenneth farried comes to mind but he's only 6'6" with a 7 foot wingspan.

 Negatives poor shooting mechanics, basically his offense is rim running dunks, offensive outbacks and hutle plays, immune to assists. Crazy tough hussle guy right now, no face up game.

 Does not take plays off. Incredible endurance, will block a shot and sprint down court. Always looking for the ball back after he makes something happen.

 Even in his first turnover in the post he sprinted back and blocked the shot. Fun to watch he plays with Celtic pride. Tommy would love him.

"Tommy would love him" actually just about sells me on a prospect.

Interesting back story to the kid. Definitely on radar.

As raw as he is from a basketball skills standpoint, it's very likely that he'll stay another year. Also, if anyone's saw Montrezl Harrell play at Louisville, Diallo is almost identical (metric-wise and skillwise).
The league itself is emphasizing skill more than ever, which is why guys like Harrell and Diallo are more at the bottom of the first round and toothpicks like Dragan/Ingram are supposed top 5 picks.

I didn't think he was impressive in that Nike Hoop Summit game.

Lacked skill. Garbage man. Lacked size to be a center. More of a forward. An unskilled forward.

Not a lottery pick. A mid-to-late teens pick.

I'm 100% on board. His fluidity makes me think that he can develop an offensive game. For now though he'd be a great shot blocker and rim runner.

A taller Faried with much better defense sounds like the type of prospect I can get behind.

The biggest weaknesses on the team are rim protection, shooting and ability to create off the dribble. Any player that improves one of these weaknesses would make me happy.

 If your right Who, I'd be thrilled to get this kid with the Dallas pick. He will be better than Harzell no doubt.

With the Nets pick, I'd like for Danny to go for the highest upside pick, even if it's less likely to turn into an NBA player.  We've got enough role players fighting for rotation time.  We don't need another "blue collar" undersized big man.

At this point we need to take the highest upside SF.
