I imagine that chatter gets more frequent closer to the draft after the multiple workouts and interviews as teams get enamored by a few players and start wanting to have extra shots at them
so mad we didn't draft him. i wanted him that year. admittedly, i thought 17 was a little high for him, but when gs took him a couple spots after our pick, i was a little ill. anyway, i don't see a player of that type in the draft this year...maybe burries? that would be my closest comp, but he's going lotto. also, i keep seeing veesaar connected to us, but has anyone seen much of moreno? he looked pretty good on film to me, but i don't think i saw him play much during the season or ever heard of him. can't explain it, he just kind of looks like a modern nba center.
I think maybe Ryan Conwell out of Louisville could be a close comp. Though I haven’t watched much tape on him but it sounds like he’s playing well in the scrimmages. Maybe he’s more like a Grimes. Main differences: he’s a bit shorter, took 9 threes a game at 34% (podz was 43%), he’s a senior (podz was a sophomore) and podz averaged almost 9 boards a game!
yeah, i chose burries because he's closer in size and is considered a good rebounding guard. burries doesn't quite have the playmaking that podz did coming out, but maybe that was partly about opportunity.
