Which prospects do you want Danny to avoid for the 2016 draft?

Why? Poeltl is 7'1, he's a really good defender with great stats, and he could get 20mpg right away on this team.

Another popular choice I don't understand is Demetrius Jackson. He's like Terry Rozier with a 40% 3pt shot. He's obviously awesome value with a non-lotto pick, though I expect him to go top ten.

He isn't much of a shot blocker. Lacks length as well. Not sure he will make as much of an impact on either side of the floor in the NBA

Yup. Like a 2nd coming of Zeller imo

His block rate is respectable (2.5/40), but it understates his defensive goodness. Awesome post defender, very consistent effort + positioning. 5.6 DBPM. He just doesn't have any weaknesses on that end. Much much much better than Zeller, whose positioning is inconsistent. He can make an impact on offense too--knows how to get open under the basket, and he quelled concerns that he'd be a disaster from the FT line (69% this year compared with 44%). Managed to increase efficiency in huge increase in usage + minutes this year (31 PER, 67TS%).

Bender.

"I think Ingram has the least wrong with him as a player.   Simmons is an amazing talent but he did not lead LSU a lot and looked passive in the many games I watched.   That he was productive as he was given a lack of intensity speaks volumes about his talent level ( immense) but it makes me worry a bit.   That being said I would take him in a NUC minute."

Simmons was trying to be a good teammate and show his unselfishness to his detriment. Quarterman was a genuine, #1 ball hog, and Simmons deferred to him too many times (coach?). When Simmons is allowed to be himself (NBA), he'll be everything that everyone hopes he'll be. I too would take him in a heartbeat. He'll certainly impact more and sooner than Parker or Wiggins have so far.

The dude measured 7'1 in shoes. How does he "lack length"?
