Undrafted :
Nate Darling
Immanuel Quickley
Jon Teske
Myles Powell
Darling need to see in the gleague to get a better sense of how he matches up with NBA type athleticism.
Quickley I feel will be drafted
Teske has improved physically but can an NBA training program improve his athleticism. Curious about his measurements.
Powell I have mixed feelings. Like his ability to get to the basket but is not a good shooter.
Others
Tyler Hagedorn
Luke Knapke
Karim Mane - think he will be drafted 2nd.
Should have checked earlier but John Petty returned to school.
Have you watched Tre Jones workout? Shot looks more polished. Not sure if he is actually 6'3".
6'1.5" w/o shoes, and this is why I don't trust measurements with shoes. Players wear different shoes, so the heights vary.
If they're drafted, fine. That means other guys go undrafted, like Trevelin Queen, etc.
Duke may have hid Tre Jones' talent a bit. But I know what I saw out of Malachi Flynn. I don't know what else to say except outside of being small, I don't think he should be drafted past 20, esp in this draft. Tre Jones is about the same size as Flynn, but I am curious if Flynn shows up under 6' w/o shoes. Then it may be a problem. _________________ Resident Car Nut.
Zeke Nnaji. My main target at 28 unless someone unexpected falls.
In college showed a post and midrange game. The video shows the 3 ball. Already has strength and grabs rebounds. Not the defensive center that may better match AD but may also serve as his backup. Similar game to the Hawks John Collins.
Best attribute is the effort he gives on both ends of the court. Similar reason why I like Jalen Smith and Precious.

If the Lakers go big I would be fine with either Zeke or Spellman. You have convinced me on Spellman's skill set and he is ready to play and fits with AD.

I have mixed feelings about Nnaji, but my blindspot is bigs, esp bigs that try to exhibit wing skills. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

Udoka Azubuike. Would be nice to have him at the back end of the bench.
I think he's actually underrated because he's actual NBA size/athleticism anyway, but a typical PnR big that swats/boards and lacks all guard skills.
I'm legit choosing him in the 2nd round or higher because he's actually pretty darn good at drop coverage. If he's a poor man's Andre Drummond, that's actually a steal. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I have never understood or liked the use of C's out at the 3pt line unless their skillset (e.g. Jokic-initiator, AD) dictates that be part of their game.
Nnaji is more hybrid PF/C displayed really good touch on his mid-range shots and I felt it would carry to the 3pt line.
He doesn't play a wing game but his shot looks better than most G/F's I have watched.

I was really negative on him but being a Zubac supporter I realized he is at the minimum equal his athleticism while being considerably longer. Also still young.

Hence this is my blind spot. But I'm 100% all for 4s and 5s shooting beyond the 3pt line in DHO situations or spot up situations. Don't need to be an initiator to be effective in that floor position.
Markieff essentially did this for LAL throughout the playoffs and even though he was hot/cold, it paid off BIG TIME, especially with LBJ and AD occupying the painted area. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

I think Azubuike is a better athlete now than Zubac with his NBA training. _________________ Resident Car Nut.

If undrafted I hope the Lakers sign Nate Hinton. He is the energizer bunny that never stops on both ends of the court. Like Caruso the type of player who ignites his team with hustle and heart.
I believe he could match up at SF despite his height.
