What are your thoughts on him? He seems to have fallen off a lot of peoples radar but I still like him.
Watching a lot of footage today of different players and I feel like the top of this draft is strong and really hard to differentiate between players as far as who to take. 2 months to go until draft time but I hope we take someone this draft. We could always trade the pick but there are players I like.
Simmons seems like the guy who does it all, has the physical tools to really take players off the dribble and finish at the rim. Hield is a lights out shooter who is quick off the dribble and can shoot with supreme range. Ingram is a pure scorer who can do a variety of things as far as scoring and plays hard.
I'm not sure I want the c's to take Dunn or a guy like jaylen brown just yet. There are some interesting big men this draft.
Ellenson is a hard worker and really mobile for a guy his size. He's thick and reminds me a bit of david lee or kevin love without the range. I'm not sure I see the physical tools with him or athleticism but he's thick and active enough where he should succeed. He's like Harangody with upside. Harangody had none.
Sabonis is more your classic white center with his own style. Plays with some fire and has length and intelligence but is more in the mold of a better version of the guys you see nowadays like Zeller. Plays inside is a smart passer and just plays like a center should. He's versatile enough. I think he'll be good but might take a bit to fill out.
Skal and Thon are really the guys with athleticism. Thon is more versatile though and can take you off the dribble, play from the outside in etc. He also is just really imposing with his athleticism in highlight videos ala Kevin Garnett although I'm not sure I'm buying it. There just isn't that much footage on him against real competition and he is a bit of a mystery. I also just don't like the way he moves. Skal on the other hand can post up, has a mid range jumper and more just a classic player that way with the ability to block shots and roam the paint. He's a twig though and somewhat undersized.
Thon and Bender really have the most versatile offensive skill sets. Thon seems to do it with athleticism where Bender is more a finesse player though who can do things with quickness and speed. I'm liking Bender even still. I think people have given up on him and there is a lack of footage. The footage out there also isn't even that impressive. But something about him I like. Maybe it's the tom brady in me. But he is versatile. He has athlecism but it's not as apparent.
Bender to me is a taller, whiter, more versatile player than Ingram in ways. Something about the game seems to come easy to him though. We have KO where it doesn't make much sense, but I still like him. I'm not sure how he even fits with us. But I still like him.
