Egor Denim discussion thread
Watching him play last night and I see why we drafted him
His shot looks nice despite his horrific percentages in college and he's got that natural feeling to the game these Euro guys have
His floor is Josh Giddy and his ceiling is Luka
He has a higher ceiling than anyone in the draft, Flagg is the best right now but he doesn't have a the MVP ceiling the likes of Denim has

Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
Manny at it again :facepalm
This guy was a horrible pick according to him during the draft, now he's a future MVP cause of summer league :roll:
Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
It used to be that any big white perimeter player that came sling would be compared to Bird. Are we now entering a time where they all will get compared to Doncic, or is this just a premature overreaction on my part where I'm badly overrating the situation based on nothing but summer league basketball?

Never seen him play
But after watching everyone in the summer league I can understand why we drafted him
Denim is the most talented player of the entire class

His play style reminds me of Luka but not as aggressive
He's easily the best passer of this class and his jumper looks way better than i anticipated
Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
The Nets best player by far was Timme who i've never heard of.

You are basing your assessment of Flagg's ceiling on what exactly?

Don't watch much college ball? Timme was I think a multiple time first team all-american (definitely once at least) at Gonzaga.
He has low-post skills offensively for sure but he's not big enough to dominate down low, can't shoot well enough to be a stretch, and isn't a true NBA-level defender.

I watched college ball the last two years because we had high picks but prior to that not at all. When we drafted Rui I hadn't heard of him lol.
Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
He should spell his f-in name like it's pronounced.
Yeger Djemin
I like his game though. The shot will come around, his form looks good.
Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
Egor Denim could be the next Jeans Giddey or Levi Doncic
Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
Another strong performance from our guy
His defense is fine his jump shot is more than fine the only thing he really needs to work on is his handle which is non-existent right now but he's only 19 which will naturally improve over time
I am ecstatic with our pick and excited to see him dominate the NBA :applause:

Re: Egor Denim discussion thread
0 assists and 6 turnovers isn't a good look for a guy who was billed as the best passer in college ball. :lol
