    Zubac also came out of no where, curious to know who's talented over seas?

    Zu was actually ranked in the high teens by either DE or NBAdraft.net.

    Boston was projected to pick Zubac at 16. Ainge blinked and drafted another Euro which
    i presume they stashed.

    I believe DE had Zubac in the 20s and nbadraft.net had him in the late teens.

    Overseas prospects this year:
    Terrance Ferguson- uber athletic wing. Not much proven skill but loads of potential. Real project.
    Jonathan Jeanne- Insanely thin but a gamer. Smooth athlete for his size. Project.
    Isaiah Hartenstein- big who has shown a little of everything. Mentality a question but multi talented.
    Rodions Kurucs- raw wing prospect. Skilled for his age but likely to need time to transition.
    Frank Ntilikina- probably the best international player in the draft. Tall guard with good wingspan. Long term but high upside.
    Anzejs Pasecniks- similar to Jeanne in size and thinness but not as athletic. Has a decent jumper.
    Mathias Lessort- beefy PF in the mold of Faried.
    Jonah Bolden- 3 & D prospect. Left UCLA for a less athletic Euro league. Big questions on mentality and maturity.

    Ojeleye is bigger but he's got a ripped physique. He may be a little too bulky even.

    Lol. Nah he has a fade and it's short on the sides. I think what OX possibly meant to say is some of these guys would be better looking and intriguing in the eyes of girls or even NBA execs if they had their hair do's on a level you can tell they're going to a barber or doing proper maintance themselves to keep it looking nice, like Ingram or Harden... I don't really care but another thing to remember is if dudes are insecure they usually have wild hair to take the eyes off their faces haha.

    Anyhoot back on topic, I've came to a realization I don't care to trade for Jimmy or Paul George this year... Cap goes up to 121 million next year so we'll have 36 million to spend if we like. Then another 20 mill can come off the books due to Tarik,Young(option) and Brewer are on contract years.

    So 56 million in room for 2018-2019 season. There's no point of trying to package players/picks to unload Deng/Moz who IMO with ultra fresh legs and fully healthy after a tank job and being in the second year of the systems... are more than fine as backups as the young bucks are on cheap contracts and getting experience.

    I'm really sold on this guy.

    I'll be glad if its any of these guys - Semi Ojeleye, Jordan Bell, or Harry Giles. But I also trust our scouting team if they think someone else is better. These guys I just prefer.

    28 if we keep is going to be a good surprise like Nance /Zu who both become instant guys you had good feeling about when you saw them on the court in Summer League as rookies. A pure shooter with drive ability SG would be ideal to pan out and take Clarksons place(Shave salary off to put towards all stars).
