    He seemed like an animal last year at times. In the tourney too if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a college ball guy doe, just saying.

    I think Bryce Alford goes undrafted and the Defenders pick him up.

    Seems like it's always a good thing for the league and local fan bases.
    Would be a great story if he comes in and just lights it up with some crowd confidence. He has to shoot 40-45% instantly from 3s if he's gonna give himself a shot to make it. Can he play some PG/bring the ball up and create a good setup pass?

    I'm not a fan of Ivan Rabb's game. If we're going with a big I would prefer Jordan Bell, Harry Giles, or maybe even Bam ahead of him.

    I just watched Serena's Instagram story on Rabb. He runs and dribbles like someone who started playing basketball a couple weeks ago, no thank you.

    I'm wondering why Semi is in the 30's. Is he too undersized for his position?

    Sterling Brown's shooting numbers are...impressive.

    My boy DJ Wilson. They need to bring him in. He's going to be Chandler Parsons like but without all the injuries

    He doesn't seem to have Shannon's raw athleticism, but he looks more like a baller. I'm good with either a high motor big who can really help the D off the bench, or someone like Sterling that can microwave the scoreboard off the bench.

    Jordan Bell has been my pick for a while.

    I'd still take Semi O. over him at #28 who ironically was Sterling's teammate at SMU

    A few years ago I saw Bam Adebayo totally dismantle Ivan Rabb in a Nike EYBL tournament game. At the time, Rabb was supposed to be the top ranked player in the country, and Bam physically destroyed him. He literally gave up. Haven't been a fan of Rabb's game since.

    Also not a fan of how Ivan Rabb runs. But that's just me.

    See for yourself

    Rabb is mostly heart. He's going to have a career in the league of some kind if he stays healthy. He's probably just a hustle big/rebounding type but he's going to work hard for whatever team takes him. He may be an end of the bench type of kid, but I like his heart.

    He is however an awkward athlete and hasn't shown enough development with his jumper. He probably has turned teams off in his individual workout given how he looks out there. He could have been an easy teens pick last year. He should have entered the draft.

    Could be there at #28. He's rail, rail thin for his height and in games didn't handle physicality well at all. Pesecniks and Jeanne though are going to be really interesting to NBA teams who saw Gobert grow after looking small in the draft (Gobert was significantly heavier than these two though).
