Petr Cornelie: 7 footer shooting 41% from three that can run (France)

[chambers]

Interesting prospect. 7 foot and runs like a deer, extremely soft, good hands and quick feet.
Shoots the 3 very well but also has a very good 15 ft face up game.
Can finish in transition nicely. If we don't go for Bender, this guy might be available with a 2nd rounder.
Seems like a guy the Spurs international scouts would target.

I love that whether a gun can run or not if something we toss about.   It used to be a given, but I guess after Sully folks want to make sure.

I could live with a second round pick for draft and stash on this guy, a later one.   I actually thought they played some D in that clip.

I like him and Yabusale.  Draft and stash both.

we won't have enough roster space for 8 draft picks, so we are certainly going to 'draft and stash' some of them abroad.

Why isn't he a top 20 pick?

I like him and Yabusale.  Draft and stash both.

And one of Zizic/Zubac.  One of them is bound to pan out.  I think that's the real value of all these picks, lots of darts to toss.

I like both too.  Seem like a decent pairing on the court too.  Hopefully can get and stash one or both.
Yabusele the more likely to come over next year?

This year's draft has a lot of depth. There will be a lot of competition for those late-first round slots. Cornelie is tall and can shoot, but he's really skinny and not a shot blocker. It's easy to see us drafting + stashing him either at #23 or in the second round.

Draft Express has him at 26.  NBA draft at 53.  Who knows, especially with European players we've only seen in clips.

Strengths:  Intriguing size/mobility combination, long arms and legs with remarkable smoothness and quickness in running the floor ... He’s really explosive, with a good vertical with solid intimidation and defensive skills, thanks to his timing and instincts ... What impresses most about him is his great stamina, and energy showing a blue collar attitude to hustle on both ends of the floor ... Most of his points come from second chance opportunities, put backs and offensive rebounds ... Furthermore he has shown intriguing potential since he’s also able to hit outside the painted area in spot up situations, with an impressive range (more than 40% from 3 points thus far in the season in ProA) ... In a modern basketball era seeking mobility and versatility he could become a valued asset ...

Weaknesses: While a good athlete with size, his skill level and feel for the game are very raw ... He’s still skinny and could struggle to battle in the paint ... His game is mainly based on facing/crashing the basket, lacking any real post moves ... His thin frame sometimes leads to loss of balance when the level of physicality increases ... Raw potential, his game is really energetic and instinctive, but he has to polish his skillset, work on fundamentals, positioning and decision making skills ... He has to work on the controlled phase of the game, learning how to optimize spacing and timing ... Furthermore despite showing intriguing potential his shot needs to add consistency, working on mechanics and to improve from the free throw line (less than 70% thus far in French ProA) ...
