    His shot concerns me. Brings it low, long process, mechanical instead of natural. Shades of BI in some ways.

    My favorites so far are Culver and Garland. I'll be happy with either of those. I also like Hunter and Reddish but that's if we trade down.

    Yeah. I like actually like Culver and Garland too. Intrigued by guys like Hunter, Reddish, and White.

    Really hoping we can trade the pick for a star that can help now though.

    Get Hunter or Garland if we keep that pick. Garland can absolutely be a Kemba type.

    I'm also in the Garland camp but don't know about a PG with Lonzo on the roster.

    Either Lonzo would have to play some SG (he has the size but not the offense) or we need to do some roster moves.

    From a need perspective, we need a tall SG/SF who is fast, athletic, can shoot and can defend...Ingram, Kuzma etc. aren't good enough at 3 and d.

    Yeah this is why guys like Culver, Hunter, and even Reddish have my interest if we end up keeping the pick.

    There’s talent beyond the top three but we really have to do our homework in my opinion. Luckily I trust our scouting.

    I'm not worried about Lonzo and Garland together at all. Garland would essentially play sg on offense. Lonzo is not the pound the rock type pg. Honestly, Lonzo can play with anyone, any style. His size allows that. Having two guards who can bring the ball up the floor and pass is not a bad thing. Garland seems like a shoot first pg.

    But keeping this pick...it just makes our already young squad even younger. Garland (or whoever we draft) do not line up with Lebron's time table at all. Keeping the pick almost turns Lebron into Kobe at the end of his career. He becomes a marketing opportunity, someone to put butts in seats while the youth develops.

    Huh?

    His shot is nicer than anything I've seen from Ingram, Ball or even Kuzma.

    I'll take Culver right now over any of those 3 from distance.

    He can have a worrisome shot and still have better form than Ingram and Ball. I have better form than Ingram and Ball. I mean, my shot only falls like 20% in games...from the college 3-point line...when I'm open. When a man is close to me my percentage hovers around 3-4%.

    But Abeer can be right in his assessment of his shot and you can be right too. Nothing you said really disproves abeers point. It only further reinforces the utter disgrace that was our long distance shooting last season.

    BTW little Darius Garland CAN dunk. He's way more athletic than you think.

    Those were pretty basic dunks. Nothing to write home about.

    Yeah but ppl were claiming he's just crafty, good shooter and fast twitchy. Just wanted to point out he has a better dunk package than Steph Curry entering the draft also a lot younger than Steph. He's compared to him BTW

    yeah, i'd prefer a trade, though i'm not sure the star we want is available for that pick. i'd take beal or davis, obviously, but the rest of the folks that might be available...we might be keeping this pick.

    the list also highlights that a trade down might make a lot of sense. i could hear arguments for garland/culver/hunter/reddish/white, tbh.

    provided they get to make the pick.

    based on empty gym workouts? because college shooting stats say ball and ingram > culver.

    all three sub 70% from the FT line which is a big statistical red flag.

    and watch culver in that drill. dips the ball below his waist. you better have all day to shoot it, even guys my size can close out and bother that.

    culver reminds me of evan turner for better and worse.

    I remeber watching this, I hope the female participant became a good college player, she'd make a good replacement for Candance Parker when she retires :)

    I don't know, Steph low key got some hops lol.

    Garland's release is not quite as quick as Curry's, a little more unorthodox at that. I would compare him more like a Kemba if anything.

    At the end of the day, we have enough young talent. With LeBron on his last legs and us adding someone like Kyrie we HAVE to go all in. #4 can get us a win now asset.
