    He hasn't shown the kind of passing that Josh has, but Semi should translate as a strong, versatile defender and a solid shooter. I think he'll need time to adjust to the NBA three, but he should get there.

    @Khmrp and I had a brief discussion about Iwundu being "Josh Jackson"-lite and that may be an overstatement. I watched a couple games of his and two things stuck out to me: 1) he is physically not very strong and 2) he is far, far too hesitant. There's times when he makes big plays and has a great impact and there's times when he picks up his dribble in a trap near the half-court line.

    He's a second round pick to me. I wouldn't use our #28 on Iwundu.

    My comp is more based on style of play and measurable, which I think Iwundu is closer in comp to Jackson then Semi

    I know and I agreed with you. I was just disappointed by what I saw. He's not bad but I'm not sure he's an NBA player.

    If we had a pick in the middle to late teens I would still be all over this Semi guy. He's got the perfect set of tools every team needs and wants.

    After Clarkson, Randle and Zubac, I can promise I won't complain about who we take at 28. I trust them.

    They were also correct on D'Angelo over Okafor and to draft Ingram and Randle. No complaints that last 3 drafts.

    Wanna see a list of no-names? Take a look at the 2014 draft.

    Give me this kid to play behind Ingram and Nance, and I'll feel much better about a possible Randle trade.

    though i agree with the general sentiment, the first round really only has a few busts. that's actually pretty good, statistically speaking.
