select??

Chad Ford has them taking Donovan Mitchell who sounds intriguing:

16. Chicago Bulls

Donovan Mitchell
Louisville
Sophomore
Guard

Mitchell scored some significant buzz at the combine thanks to some freaky Dwyane Wade-esque measurements -- he's 6-foot-1 with a 6-foot-10 wingspan -- and terrific scores on the athletic testing.

I've had several scouts compare him to a young, pre-injury Eric Gordon. He's not the shooter that Gordon was coming out of college, but his jumper is coming along, and his ability to play some point could come in handy for the Bulls. At this point, he's one of the few high-upside guys left on the board.




What do all you college and international basketball guru's think about who they should and who they will select??

From all the reports I've read I guess it's way too early to draft Swanigan but I think he's going to be the steal of the draft.

I always laugh at the "he's one of the few high upside guys left this late in the draft" comments on these reports. Draymond Green and Nikola Jokic are 2 of the top 15-20 players in the NBA. Nobody knows anything.

Yeah the experts are the experts - lol.

De'Aaron Fox sounds like an interesting cat (although he'll be long gone by 16).

Neither of this is true.

Why Swanigan? He seems like a good college player. Do not see him as a great pro.

The one mock I read had them taking the center from UCLA.

I'm always willing to gamble on guys who are skilled and extremely hard workers. Bring underdsized also isn't the problem it was even five years ago.

He seems to lack athleticism though. Looked slow against Kansas.

I'm ok with that, given his work ethic.

The following guy turned out to be pretty good:
Quote:
Weaknesses: One of those great college basketball players that doesn't excel in any one particular area ... Tweener, undersized for a physical forward yet lacks the athleticism of a wing ... Lacks explosiveness, agility, elusiveness and quickness off the bounce ... Under the rim finisher, which is troublesome when you consider his size ... Not a threat to shake his defender off the dribble ... Minimal upside ... Vulnerable defending quicker guards on the perimeter ... Could stand to drop some weight ...

Is this draft deep enough to select a guy at 16 that will amount to anything? If Ball is the overriding choice for #2 then how deep can the draft be?

Yeah this might as well be pick 64 for all I care.

I wouldn't mind them taking a chance on Swanigan tho.
