Highest combine vert since 2001 is 45 1/2 inches.

Who was it? Markel Brown?

[Fallen Angel]

I like Dawson, he'll likely go in the 2nd to undrafted.

He finishes around the rim and plays hard, if he develops a jumpshot he can get serious minutes. He'll likely be a stash pick or on team's big board for D-League players.

Kenny Gregory - 2001 - 45 1/2"

Shane Larkin - 2013 - 44"

Markel Brown - 2014 - 43 1/2"

Tim Bowers - 2004 - 43 1/2"

Jahil Carson - 2014 - 43 1/2"

[ISHGoat]

I see hasheem thabeet's name... da ***? Is there another 7+ foot ***** with the same name? Or the original Hasheem busted so hard hes going to try and get drafted again?

[GOBB]

Mudiay vs Russell, who would you pick?

[brownmamba00]

Mudiay vs Russell, who would you pick?
d'angelo russell no doubt

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Looking at the measurements

Oubre the biggest boom or bust pick in the draft?

Winslow measured 6-4.5 without shoes, 6-6.5 in shoes.

Zhou Qi 7-2 in shoes, 7-6.5 wingspan, 9-6.5 reach... 209 lbs.

[wally_world]

this is some horrible basketball being played right now

[GOBB]

d'angelo russell no doubt

Why? Mudiay is bigger, more explosive of an athlete in comparison, better defender. The only thing Russell has on him is shooting which Mudiay has a chance to improve (whether he does is anyones guess).

[Jameerthefear]

they doing 5 on 5 yet?

[GOBB]

they doing 5 on 5 yet?

They been doing it for awhile today, you're late.

[Jameerthefear]

I want Russellll

[Jameerthefear]

im on it live and they are doing no step vert

[GOBB]

im on it live and they are doing no step vert

You must have a slow connection. 35-21 white team, 1st qtr 1:06 left :confusedshrug:

[Jameerthefear]

okay i see it now. i'm a little behind i guess?

[brownmamba00]

Russell looks ready to play in the NBA...a combo guard that can pass, handle and shoot lights out with the best of em...Russell reminds me a lot of Brandon Roy as in not great athletically but very tough to stop when he has that jumpshot going along with his court vision, he's hard to stop.

he's def not as explosive as Mudiay and he will have issues on the defensive end coming in to the league...another concern I have is his finishing in traffic and over length but all these things can be improved with a good coaching staff.

But the biggest thing that sets them apart is Russell's NBA level court awareness imo...altho I'll admit I haven't watched much of Mudiay outside of his highlights in China (which is underwhelming kinda)

Yeah, I'm just playing devils advocate. I'm torn on who I want.

Wouldn't mind drafting Super Mario if we fall to 5 or 6
